Omitted Press staff Correspondent
Washington, April 13-(UP)-The
Army is disseminating use Of steel
for making artillery cartridge cases
and Is going back to brass in a
move expected to boost production
by about 80 per cent and save $780,
100000 in 1914, the War Department
revealed today.
Mai. Gen. Levin H. Campbell
head of the ordnance department
explained that the Army originally
stopped using brass because of a
shortage of ingredients for the alloy
While severe manufacturing diff
culties were anticipated" in use OF
steel, he said, "the interest and CO.
operation and determination of the
technicians and production men OF
American industry proved the VEN
ture success"
But about the first of this year
he said, the arms supply program
reached the point where vast re-
duction was made possible in pro-
duction of small arms ammunition,
thereby releasing vast amounts OF
brass for artillery cartridge cases.
The change back to brass, he said
will boost production and save
money because brass requires fewer
manufacturing operat lions and
yields lower scrap losses.
Campbell also said the steel cases
were not as satisfactory as brass
because of their tendency to rust
Especially when used in humid,
tropical climates, he explained,
"they are more likely to result in
longtime storage complications"
when brass was available ord
nance used barss", Campbell de-
clared. when brass became critical
