TOR HIGH ACHIEVEMENT I'M THE
PRODUCTION OF WAR EQUIPMENT"

enlarged recently. lis production rate, when
it was changed over from making General
Grants" (M-3's) to General Lees" (M-4's)
early this mOnth-withOut stopping produc-
tion-was 2OO3o ahead of its original con-
tract schedule. This accomplishment was
possible because of the extensive facilities
and personnel of all Chrysler Corporation
plants which are producing parts and sub
assemblies for the tank arsenal.
The fundamental strength of Americas war
production lies in the industries, facilities
and techniques developed through the years
of freedom and peace. These enterprises,

too, have provided organizations of pro-
ductiOn executives, master mechanics,
engineers, skilled wOrkmen and operating
leadership-so greatly needed now.
Chrysler Corporation has long been known
for quality manufacturing and advanced en-
cheering. Those peacetime skills and high
precision standards are now being applied
to the exacting war production and engineer
ing tasks that have been assigned TO us. The
ARMY-NAVY ''E'' Award symbolizes the
effectiveness of the complete conversion of
Chrysler Corporations plants, equipment
and abilities, for the nations war needs.
