Most of the plants had to swing over from domestic production of one kind or another. In some cases the existing machinery and tools were adaptable to the making of shells. In many cases, . however, extensions had to be built and new machine stools installed before Pro- duction could commence. Now the Canadian shell industry is getting into its full stride, When we consider that a certain type of anti-aircraft gun now being made in ethis countrp can fire shells, at the rate of 160 :per minute, we liegin to urealize the tremendous number of shells necessary to feed all the guns used by our army, alr-force and navy. A lot of work goes into the mak- ing of a shell. Exacting work it is, for every shell has to be perfect, Out of every lot of 500 shells pro- duced, four are sent to the proving grounds. The record of one factory which is typical of practically all thoseproducing shells, is that there have been no rejects from the proving grounds. Every shell is checked by Government in- spectors for inaccuracies of any "sort, and this factory has a record for the past year of less than .01 per cent rejected by these in- epec Shellors. manufacture usually fol- lows what is called straight line Production.

The wails are five feat thick, and from •bhis building, the defenders of New France took their s'and against the enemy. For the past thirty years or more this same building has been used in the Tense of Canada, but instead being the shelter from which guns are fired, it has become one center • in. which ammunition for the Can- adihu Army is made. During the last war, this arsenal empl'oyecl five to six hundred men and women. Today, it is produc- ing i•n 24 hours, more ammunition than in a whole month during the last wan.
