A UNITED STATES ARMY ORD
NANCE ARSENAL, April At is
no secret that the Army has shell
time fuze whose mechanism is essen
TALLY that of a superfine watch
with an accuracy of a 400th Of a
second.
1t has more than 100 separate
parts. Some of them have size
tolerance of only ten thousands of
an inch. The motivating power is
centrifugal force. It's tiny brass
wheels start turning when the shell
in which it is placed leaves the
gun mu Zle at certain number of
revolut ..o1s a second. Exactly on
the mathematical split second when
it Is calculated the target should
be reached the watch" sets off a
detonator and the shell is exploded.
Basic Idea German.
The device is miracle Of me-
chanical ingenuity and precision.
The basic idea came from a Ger
man patentee back in 1924. 1t was
crude and unavoidable. Without
the split-second accuracy it would
be useless. 1t had to be absolutely
reliable and absolutely foolproof.
Army ordnance engineers worked
over the clumsy German idea until
it was so perfect that "a shell could
think for ITSELF"
This watch must be tough. 1t
must stand the test of being thrown
with terrific force against a theo-
retical brick wall once a second for
four hours. Then it is shaken vio-
lently in a shaking machine for
eight hours. Then it is dropped on
an iron plate from a two-Story
window. If it still keeps time with
in 400th of a second accuracy after
this it is ready to be placed in an
anti-aircraft shell. Otherwise it is
melted back into scrap brass and
the whole process starts over again.
Very seldom is it necessary to re-
ject one.
But, having perfected the mech
anisrn, the ordnance engineers were
only at the threshold of their real
problem. The device contained parts
practically indistinguishable from
those upon which skilled watch
makers spend hours of incredibly
patient, microscopic work. There
are not enough watchmakers in the
world to produce the timers in
quantities sufficient to be of any
real significance in modern warfare.
Turned Out by Thousands.
Today at this arsenal they are
being turned out by the thousands
each day and the workers are not
skilled watchmakers. They are, for
the most part, girls who graduated
from high school in the past two or

A presidential appeal for volun-
tary extension of the work week to
48 hours was urged on Mr.. Roose-
velt by Senator George, Democrat,
Of Georgia, who suggested that SUCH
procedure might be more fruitful
of results than drastic legislation
enacted at this time"
Senator George, who suggested
that the extra work day could be
called war day" or victory day."
said the principle of working that
eight hours at the regular rate
would properly call for the read
justment Of the hourly wage rate
in some industries"
IF the suggestions appeal to the
workers of America" he wrote, then
all contracts in which provision
has been made for overtime pay
should be re-examined and the con-
tract prices abated by the overtime
pay included in the contract"
Opponents of the 40-hour week
are planning an effort to present
amendments covering it and the
overtime question.
In his letter to Mr.. Robertson,
Gen. Knudsen said that heavy over
time premiums hinder the progress
of the defense program" After
adding his notation that labor
leaders had offered to remedy the
situation, Gen. Knudsen continued {:
Il do not think the 404hour week
has otherwise delayed the program
much, but if and when actual labor
shortages occur, the work week
should be extended"
In making the correspondence
public, Mr.. Robertson said that in
reading Gen. KnudSen'S letter,
felt that if I were permitted to read
between the lines, could see some
thing to the effect of I would like
to say more"
Gen. Knudsen is expected to
testify before the House Naval
Affairs Committee when it resumes
hearings in two weeks on the bill
Of Representative Smith, Democrat,
of Virginia, to suspend the 4o-hour
overtime basis and outlaw the closed
shop for the duration of the war.

whose timing is about that of the
conveyor belts.
Production went up about thou
sand day, the general says, after
the music was introduced. The girls
constantly are singing as their
nimble fingers manipulate the deli
cate pieces. The weird blush light
from the fuorescent lights falls on
long rows of pretty young faces al
ways smiling. This is a strange
contrast to the grim faces Of women
working on assembly lines in some
converted industries.
Blue and White Uniforms.
The uniforms help. There are
blue ones for the three-month vet
erans, white ones for the learners
These girls look on themselves as
soldiers and their job as an engage
ment with the enemy.
The time in which some of the
most delicate jobs are done, COM
| pared to the time taken by expert
watchmakers on Semi-masS-pro-
duction basis, is almost incredible
There is one part assembly which
could be fitted by the best men with
years Of training at rate of 81
assemblies day. One girl here
turns out 400 assemblies a day
There is another part which can
be adjusted by an expert jeweler
at rate of rs a day. One girl
does it at the rate of 1900 a day
and keeps singing and smiling. Still
another job requires two watch
makers eight hours to do about
one-eighth the work single girl
does in eight hours.
Some Of the parts to be adjusted
are barely large enough to be seen
with the naked eye. A matchmaker
would use a magnifying glass. But
these girls have sharper eyes. With
lightning speed their fingers manip-
ulate these specks of brass. They
drill holes in brass with an accuracy
of Tooth of a millimeter, but this
is no trick for the girls. The drill
they use cannot do anything else.
They learn to operate gauges with
fineneSs of -thousandth OF
an inch.
The Army doesn't try to regulate
the lives of these girl soldiers on
the front lines of democracy, largely
through whose work many a Ger
man and Japanese pilot already has
bit the dust. outside working hours
they do as they please, but every
precaution has been taken in Or
ganizing the assembly line so that
they will not be too tired to do any
thing but sleep when they leave

three years. They are mostly girls
who never did a days work before.
They have learned their crafts in,
at the most, a couple Of months.
They are doing their jobs much
faster and more accurately than
these could have been done by ex-
pert mechanics with old methods.
This, rather than the time fuze
itself, is the real miracle, perhaps
tantamount to a major Ameyican
victory. The scene is one Of the
inspiring sights OF the war, and
these high school girls in their blue
and white uniforms almost as truly
soldiers in battle as the men in
Iceland or Australia. And they know
1t. They were selected because they
have-perhaps to a greater degree
than any other class of American
citizens except the blind, who are
being used elsewhere on similar Jobs
-nlmble and sensitive fingers which
enable them to detect minute differ
ences with lightning speed.
The miracle was achieved by the
Army ordnance engineers in the
only way imaginable-setting up an
assembly line and introducing the
methods of mass production. But
mass production of the most delicate
kind OF watch and of an automobile
are altogether different In practice.
1t depended primarily on producing
tools-dies, drills, stampers, etc
which were absolutely accurate and
foolproof, each suitable for one spe-
cif1c job, and one only. For the more
than 100 parts there are about 800
distinct operations, each performed
by a different tool. Add to this fin
gers nimble enough to pick up pins
all day long and the problem is
solved. They started with men.
These men are being moved to other
arsenal jobs as rapidly as possible.
Compared to high school girls. even
mechanics skilled in handling fine
parts are clumsy
Assembly Line Humanized.
Even in far cruder, slower indus
tries the assembly line has been
criticized for being inhuman. For
this particular job the charge might
well be true. That it is not is the
third miracle accomplished by the
fatherly, intensely human general
commanding the arsenal and his
staff officers and superintendents.
He has humanized the assembly line
as it never has been humanized be-
fore and there is no likelihood that
any girl ever will be carried in
screaming Mysteries from this most
exacting of all such lines.
1t depends on hundreds of little
things introduced here and there.

6y the AssOcidtcd ffesBs
1t. Gen. william 8. Knudsen,
Army production director, entered
the controversy over the 40-hour
week yesterday with q statement
that while 1t had caused little de-
lay to the war production program,
heavy payments for overtime work
had proved hindrance.
But. where the latter were con-
cerned, he noted, in a letter to Rep
resentative Robertson, Democratic,
OF Virginia, that labor leaders have
publicly offered to remedy this, and
II they do 1t will be constructive. !"
Gen. Knudsen put his views on
paper at Mr.. Robertson's request,
and the House member made them
public.
Meanwhile. with Congress in a
virtual recess and no action on the
labor question in sight for more than
a week, the administration was au-
thoritatively reported to be sound
ing out labor leaders on the posi-
bility Of voluntarily agreement to
make A or 48 hours the basic work
week, to be worked without over
time pay. Premium payments would
be given for work in excess of the
figure agreed on.
Vice President Wallace was un-
derstood to be active in this effort,
bent on quieting the agitation which
has surrounded the controversy.
Whether q 44-hour week would
satisfy Congress was a question,
however, and whether 48 would suit
labor was another.
Beyond that, labor was understood
to be insisting that if any conces-
sions are made, the employers must
rebate to the Government the
money which otherwise would 90
to the workers in time and a half
pay for work over 40 hours a week.
Senate Majority Leader Barley,
although declining to comment on
this plan, made it plain he was
hopeful some agreement might be
reached before April 20, when the
Senate Is to consider a motion to
take up the bill of Senator Con-
nally. Democrat, of Texas to permit
the Government to take over strike
