Subject: Extremely Enlightening

The is an excellent report covering the US military production, aside from the US Navy, in World War 1. In addition to pointing out the difficulties in rapidly developing a military equipment production base, it also gives some outstanding descriptions as to how very large guns are made, and the complexities of assembling weapons. A very useful and enlightening work.
