At first the production of the new weapon was held up by a shortage of extruded bars of mild steel from which the parts were cut and mach- ined into shape. When the medal makers were called n. they demon- strated how they could stamp out the parts in exactly the same way as they had produced medals since 1840 using ordinary strips .of mild steel which is easily obtainable. It was a victory for old established craftsmanship over mass production machinery. The medal makers were given a contract at once, They are now doing this precision work more speedily than anyone ,else, with three -thousandths of an inch as their nearest margin of error, and a pro- duction "bottleneck" has been com- pletely wiped out. Unskilled labour can be trained to the job in a few hours: some of the workers are girls not yet 16 years old, The factory also makes its own gauges. At the moment the only medals they are striking are the Croix de Guerre and the Medaille MB- itaire for the Free French Forces in Britain. They are also making a large shield in iron an$ silver which the Free Polish Government is present- ing to the British Forces. In peace time they made dies for the coins of many countries in South. America and for China and Siam. They have also struck medals. for many of the world's learned eocie- sties. including the Royal Aca lenty and the Hudson's Bay Company. The son of the present principal arranged the dies of the first two D.F.C.'s awarderl to Hawker and Grieve in the last war, Business man (rung up in error for the tenth time, that morning)=- "No, this is not 'Universal Flower pots, Limited, This is MacKay and Co. --M for murder, A for arson; C for choke, 1{ for killing, A for aseult, and Y for you.'
