interchangeable
F.. the Associated Press.


Airinen and ordnance experts in
Britain and America, seeking some
uniformity of guns and bullet sizes
on the combat planes OF the two
nations, are writing a new chapter
in an old military ory-standardi
cation of equipment.
Air Force officers said today this
was Just one phase of problem
that is constantly under study. 1t
isn't easy, they explained, because
need for immediate production is so
great that even new models of fight
ing planes have to be designed to
Use the ordnance equipment for
which there is production capacity.
The two air forces obviously can
not stop using what they have to
wait for a shift to something else,
even if it might be better.
Would Train Men Together.
Standardization does not end with
desire to put interchangeable
guns, ammunition and bombs into
the different planes produced by the
Iwo nations. 1t Gen. Henry H,
Arnold, commanding the Army Air
Forces, has said repeatedly that
wherever possible there was stand
ardization of production and even
for training between the Army and
Navy, the Urited States and its
Allies.
The story is similar in other
phases of the war production pro-
gram. Field guns and heavy wea-
pons are limited to few types For
each type the parts are inter-
changeable, the ammunition the
same.
In tanks, the Army has three
types-light, medium and heavy. In
the MA medium tank, for instance,
parts manufactured by Baldwin Lo-
connective Works will fit exactly an
MA, built by Chrysler. They will
have identical turrets, identical
transmissions. Standardization has
not been achieved, however, in pro-
duction of tank engines. The air.
plane engine which ordnance ex-
perts deem most desirable has not
always been available.
The Army's truck standardization
problem is as old as the grief that
transport officers ran into In
