In 1915, C. & G. Cooper and Company began manufacturing munitions--steel shells, special purpose lathes, surface grinders and multiple head cutting-off machines--which were all used for shell making. Additionally, the company made forging presses to be installed in Government arsenals, munitions plants and shipyards, and gas engines that could pump natural gas to war industries; marine engines for the emergency fleet; and steam tubines for torpedo destroyer boats.
