PUTS RUSHING
MANCHESTER. England. Aug 12 —
j Two days after the British begun
j their big drive on the Somme a rush
I order for 5.000 shells was given one
of the projectile factories in this dis
trict. So prompt was the order exe
cuted that the shells reached the
British gunners in time to be used for
smashing the enemy's first counter
attack.
This shows how closely the muni
tions plants are related to the front, j
and gives an idea of the remarkable
' degree of co-operation that exists be
tween the shell-maker at home and
the soldier in the field
The story of this district's aehieve
j ments in the manufacture of muni
{ tions, illustrated by the actual opera
! tions. was unfolded recently to a party
i of allied newspaper men. including a
representative of the Associated
Bress. which inspected the factories
' under the guidance of officials of thej
| ministry of munitions.
The party saw a great industrial
i district, comprising the counties of,
! Westmoreland. Cumberland. Lanca-j
i shire, the whole of North Wales and
the Isle of Man. which had been con-j
rerted into a vast co-ordinated plant
for the turning out of war material
Everywhere was evidence of how the
factories, abruptly terminating their
peace-time work, had cleared the deck
for war-time action
It was in June, 1915. that David |
j Lloyd George, then minister of muni-j
I fions, visited Manchester and told tne;
manufacturers and business men thatj
the country needed a huge supply of I
munitions, and need them at once |
At that moment the great demand
was for shells. They must he had.
not six months hence, but immedl-1
: ately
The Manchester District Engineer !
ing Trades Employers' Association
called a meeting at once, at which!
non-federated firms also were repre
sented The chief question consld
red was whether it was wiser to estab-i
iish special plants for the manufac-j
j tore of shells or to utilize the re
I sources for the work available. l*j
; was decided to follow the second plan.:
1 rs it assured quicker results.
Textile manufacture Is the principal
industry of the Manchester district.
•iml a' first it appeared that the ma
chinery used in the textile factories
was entirely unsuited to munitions
' production Hut by perseverance and
; ingenuity the textile machinists have
i contrived to adapt their machinery so
well to the work that they are now
the largest shell producers In the re
gion.
At the beginning virtually only
shells were turned out. but gradually
the field of manufacture was extended !
until now it covers, besides shells, air j
planes, motor transport vehicles. guns,|
trench mortars and projectiles, hand !
grenades anil bombs, mines, subma
rine engines, steam engines and tur-i
bines, scientific Instruments and
gauges, and a variety of other muni j
tions, machinery and appliances used j
for warfare
As an example of the concentrated!
energy now being employed In the j
Manchester district. It is pointed out;
that within a ten-mile radius of the
Manchester city hall the 2,500,000 pop
uiation employs 1,000,000 horsepower ,
Eighty per cent of this energy is de |
voted to the manufacture of war mu
I nitlons.
