S. A. Chief of Ordnance Foreword By MAJOR GENERAL C. C. WILLIAMS, U. S. A. CHIEF OF ORDNANCE HE PROBLEM of Ordnance in the World War was the problem of mobilization and co- ordination of science and industry with the military establishment. The scope of our effort was as broad as American industry, and it reached to the foundations of scientific research and knowledge. Although the Ordnance Department did not monopolize either field, it is safe to say that no other component of the war machine carried its responsibilities and effort as to design and invention, or production, into so many channels, or projected them upon so vast a scale. Our undertaking was, indeed, at once so varied and so pro- digious that few persons could possess the knowledge to pass judgment upon it intelligently. I remember upon one occasion listening to the complaint of a fellow officer anent the lack of sym- pathy entertained by the public for the work of our corps. It was during the days that the Browning gun was "on paper." Another officer present picked up from my desk a paper-weight made of a seventy-five millimeter shrapnel shell cross-sectioned. Turning the smoothly machined exterior of the steel jacketed shell toward him, he said, "General, this is what the public sees of our product. But this is what that product really is." Quickly he turned toward him the cross-section revealing the interior mechanism of the shell ; [13] W? Story* gf Ordnance in the "World War seventy-three component parts made with all the precision and delicacy of a watch. But not only must we expect the public to fail in understanding of the scope and difficulty of our work. Do we not know, our- selves, from actual experience that extremely few officers of the corps could embrace the entire field ; could give of their own knowl- edge a worth while opinion of how well or how poorly we meas- ured up to the whole job. Each man knew his own specialty ; knew the progress of his branch, section, division, or plant, or the few items of materiel included within his work. But only an extremely few could view the entire field, from tanks and tractors through field artillery and railway artillery, trench mortars, pyrotechnics, small arms and grenades to clinometers, alidades, protractors, steel helmets and harness. When your problem is the production of 200,000 separate components in more than 5,000 different plants, with those parts or items ranging from feed bags and star shells to complete trains of railway artillery, the judge who can competently say what your progress has been must indeed have a profound knowledge of the field. It was my fortunate experience to view the work of our corps both in France and at home. For the first ten months of the war I was with the American Expeditionary Force. For the rest of the time it was my duty to keep in constant review the fruits of your labor at home. Of such knowledge I say that you did exceedingly well and that I am proud to have worked with you in this war. I say this utterly without thought of any personal responsibility for that success. The tribute is not to me. It is not alone to the Army Ordnance Department of the regular establishment nor to the Ordnance officers of the Temporary Army. It is to American in- dustry and engineering, to American science, that the credit for this achievement must be given. It was American industry and science that were on trial. The ninety-seven officers of the Ord- nance Department of the regular Army and the government arsenals they administered could never have dominated this [14] *©e Story" sf Ordnance in the World War work; have won the success or caused the failure of the 5,000 of- ficers from civilian life and the 5,000 private industrial plants that were incorporated in the organization for the period of the war. The enlistment of industry, equally with the draft of man-power, was a success. And for that I thank you, the administrative directors and the engineering advisors of American industry who came into the service of the Ordnance Department during the war. It is probable that the Army Ordnance Department exercised direction over a greater physical power than was ever concen- trated upon a single purpose in the history of the world. The happy attainment of our objectives in the war within nineteen months gave insufficient time for the complete development of that power. Proper strategy required the projection of the Ordnance program upon a scale designed to secure an ultimate, overwhelm- ing and continuous rate of production rather than a lesser rate of production at an earlier date. Obviously a housewife could buy an oven and bake six loaves of bread in less time than a bakery could be built and provision made for the needs of an entire city. But the rate of production from the housewife's oven would never feed the city. The Ordnance objective was a rate of production ade- quate for an Army of 5,000,000 men. That program was dictated to the Ordnance Department by the General Staff in accordance with its man-power program. To win that objective we had to allot time for the building of plants capable of such rate of pro- duction. We had to obtain designs and even, where necessary, dis- card existing designs, to get manufacturing methods on a basis permitting of such rate of production. We could not sacrifice pro- duction in 1920 to force a quicker but lesser rate of production in 1918. We were building to make ultimate victory absolutely cer- tain and there never was a moment when the Ordnance program did not guarantee the ultimate defeat of Germany. Under such a policy it was inevitable that the attainment of victory within nineteen months would leave the Ordnance program unfinished in certain respects. However, within that period we [15] ^e Story if Ordnance in the World War effected the complete mobilization and perfected the co-ordination of science and industry with the war machine, we produced muni- tions of certain classes in unprecedented quantities, we developed and supplied materiel of such superior design as to receive the praise of our allies and the acknowledgment of our foes and we stood ready, during the month the armistice was signed, to turn on the taps at full force that had been made ready to provide a flow of munitions such as no nation had ever attempted. The fact that the American munitions program alone was greater than that which Germany could attempt after thirty years of preparation for war is apparently little realized in this country. But I have no doubt that it was realized in Germany and that such realization substantially contributed to victory by its reaction upon the minds of the military masters of the German empire. I repeat, this achievement and this contribution to victory is more largely to be laid to man-power and brain-power mobilized in the service of the Ordnance Department than to any other single source. Your reward for service to country might well be in your realization that your ability was a part of the composite mind which, at the moment of victory was bringing forth the strength of thousands of industrial plants and the might of millions of American workmen and workwomen, to transmit that incalculable force three thousand miles oversees to Chateau Thierry and St. Mihiel. Nor could the power of our country have been made effec- tive except as this composite mind harnessed science and industry in the service of the war machine. The design of Ordnance is a highly specialized science and its production a highly specialized industry. As a science it possesses a history of research and experimentation that reaches back hun- dreds of years beyond the earliest dates recorded in other fields of scientific knowledge applied in modern industry. The mastery of Ordnance design requires a command of that mass of scientific fact. It requires the devotion of a life-time of study and research to the science and it is utterly impossible to improvise a master in [16] ^e Story gf Ordnance in the World War Ordnance design, no matter how well equipped with general scien- tific or engineering knowledge your candidate may be. In the United States knowledge of the science of Ordnance was confined to a very few men, hardly more than a score were available for the design of Ordnance who could qualify as experts in the broad field it was necessary to cover. The art and industry of Ordnance production was equally restricted in the United States before its entrance into the war. The production of Ordnance materiel, with the exception of small arms, was practically limited to the six government arsenals and two private plants. How restricted a field of production this was is shown by the fact that at the time of the signing of the armistice there were 5,000 plants throughout the United States working on direct contracts for the production of Ordnance mate- riel. The restriction was the greater also because conditions and methods in the government arsenals differed so greatly from those obtaining with private enterprise. The problem of the Ordnance Department was to nationalize this specialized science and industry, to apply it in a field where it could absorb and employ the knowledge and talent of scientists, engineers and industrial experts from all sections of the country and from many different channels of industry. That was the first and most difficult step. That accomplished and the directing organ- ization established, it was possible to concentrate the incalculable power of industrial America upon the production of munitions for the winning of the war. How was this accomplished? By the devotion to duty of the six thousand commissioned officers who served during the war in the Ordnance Department. As I have said it is impossible to improvise an Ordnance expert. Engineers who had won fame and success in private enterprise and were masters in their field came into the Ordnance Department, frequently with a rank far below their deserts, and willingly confined their effort to some task proportionate to but a fraction of the problem they had mas- [17] W? Story* gf Ordnance in the World War tered in their own field. Without hope of proper reward they labored to make whatever contribution they could to their country's cause. Thus we secured our improvised "experts" in Ord- nance design, by squeezing within a narrow compass in the field of our specialty the broad and commanding knowledge of these scientists and engineers from other fields. From the industrial field we received a generous contribution of the best ability of the country. Men came to unfamiliar tasks, to buy and procure unfamiliar materials in markets where no supply existed. Without a lamp or a ring they had to produce Aladdin's genii to bring forth these hundred thousand separate items of fight- ing materiel. They had to provide plants, to teach methods which they, themselves, often had to learn anew. The personnel had to be improvised to care for the inspection of this prodigious volume of varied material, to prove it with firing tests at Aberdeen and elsewhere, to develop it from the first model through to the point of successful quantity production. The intricate problem of supply to armies in the field had to be worked out, largely by a personnel new to the task. When I survey the extent of that labor you performed in your country's interest, I deplore the inadequacy of any tribute it is within my power to pay your service. This volume is a souvenir of your service, a remembrance of the past, yet in writing the foreword of it I want also to speak of the future. Your labor was no less for the security of your country in the emergency now passing than for its safety in the future. For if we happily have ended wars by the winning of this one, your con- tribution to that victory has given your country security; and, if war hereafter should prove unavoidable for our country, then the lesson you have learned, the knowledge you have acquired in your labor, should safeguard the nation against the danger of ever again entering upon a great war without knowing how to shift indus- trial power quickly to war channels. With the ability to effect that transition quickly, with adequate provision for it made in advance [18] *®e Story~ gf Ordnance in the World War of the emergency, I should never fear for the safety of our country. But lack of preparedness in that respect will ever be our country's greatest weakness and gravest danger so long as the possibility of war exists. Avoidance of that danger lies largely in the possibility of continuing a proper contact between that branch of the military establishment charged with the provision of munitions and the industrial world. If that contact is to be maintained it must be largely through your interest. Therefore, I ask you, when you return to civil life, strive to retain a consciousness of this problem we have faced together dur- ing the war. You have come to realize that as scientists, engineers, directing forces in the field of industry, yours is the command of a source of power that is vital to your country in time of war. Stand ready to return to your posts and so keep fresh your interest in the military establishment, especially as regards its contact with industry, that you will always be an influence to keep your country prepared for the transition whenever it becomes necessary. [19] The Story of Ordnance HEN JAMES WATT, pondering upon the power that lifted the lid from his mother's tea kettle, first formulated those principles which today underlie the construction of steam engines, the science of Ordnance was hoary with age. Its roots ramble back to the days of catapults, bows and arbalests. The wisdom of ancient China advanced it ♦to a stage we can only conjecture, for it antedates authentic historical record. When was the birth of the science of Ordnance is lost to the knowledge of man. Ordnance has remained an isolated science throughout the ages. Its child, ballistics, the science of the motion of projectiles, has little if anything in common with the sciences applied in modern industry. The calculation of stresses with artillery and the for- mulae of explosives and propellants bear little kinship to knowl- edge in other branches of physics and chemistry. In its industrial processes Ordnance travels far from the beaten path. For example, since steel is used in the manufacture of cannon, as it is in bridges and skyscrapers, and the United States is a great producer of steel, it was expected by many, that it would during the war, become a great producer of cannon with little difficulty. But the steel of cannon is subject to pressures incomparably greater than those encountered in the ordinary uses of steel. So to forge cannon steel the vast equipment of industry must be put aside and a special [21] Ws Story gf Ordnance in the World War press provided that does not hammer, but, with vastly greater pressure squeezes and anneals the huge ingots. Special processes are employed for the cooling and tempering of the steel. The cannon is built up, tube upon tube. One steel jacket is shrunk upon another. It is wire wound so tightly that its normal state is abnormal contraction. Thus is the steel made to withstand extreme pressures. But the beaten path of industrial process is left almost at the outset in this strange manner of fitting steel for use in cannon. The standard tools and equipment of industry are almost useless here. The task is unlike any taught by the industry of peace. When resort to force is made the reliance of national existence, the science of Ordnance is a priceless jewel. But it is without value save to wage war. The proficiency of any nation in this strange science therefore is proportionate to its devotion to the art of war. To become experts in Ordnance men must give their lives to master- ing the principles of a science uncovered by thousands of years of experimentation and when mastered they can find no other use for this knowledge than in the service of their country for the sole purpose of making war, except in the very limited field of muni- tions production for commercial purposes. The most superficial consideration of the history of the United States since the days of the War of the Rebellion must convince one that its political atmosphere offered little to encourage development in the science of Ordnance or the dissemination of knowledge anent Ordnance to any considerable number of American citizens. The fact is. not a handful of them were instructed in it. Practically nothing what- ever was done to so connect Ordnance with the industries of peace that the national industrial strength could be absorbed for the production of ordnance materiel in time of war. On April 1st, 1917, fifteen Ordnance officers sat at desks in four rooms of the War Department. Outside of Washington were eighty-two other Ordnance officers, for the most part divided [22] We Story" gf Ordnance in the World War among the eleven government arsenals that produced all the muni- tions for the United States Army. This staff of men possessed practically all the knowledge of the science of Ordnance that was at the command of the War Department. They were not the heads of the organization. They were the whole organization. On April 7th, 1917, Congress declared war against the Imperial German Government. This staff of ninety-seven officers running the eleven Government arsenals, became an organization of 5,800 commissioned officers directing the production of munitions in 5,000 main plants on a scale that called for the completion within two years and three months, of an Ordnance program involving the expenditure of thirteen billions of dollars or one half the amount spent by the United States Government for every purpose whatsoever from the date of its foundation until April 6th, 1917, including the total costs of the Revolution, the War of 1812, the War of the Rebellion, the Spanish War and all others. And all this within the high-walled science that scarce rubbed elbows with the industrial world. Had ninety percent of this organization been called upon to master the Chinese language in the nineteen months we were at war with Germany, the task would have been easier than the one set them. Let us consider what was their specific responsibility, that is to say the materiel they were to design, produce and distribute. An appreciation of this cannot be better given the laymen than in the words of John H. VanDeventer who wrote in Colliers' Weekly: "What is Ordnance ? A storming battalion was going over the top. The men had steel helmets, hand grenades, bayonets and service rifles. Their rifle cartridges were held in clips and carried in ammunition belts. The officers, automatic pistols in hand went forward fearlessly. Phosphorous grenades were being thrown into suspected dugouts, forcing their choking occupants, hands up, into the open. Some of the boys were 'digging in' with intrenching tools A trench periscope was stuck in the side of a shell crater, enabling its' occupants safely to observe the movements of the enemy. All of these implements were furnished by Ordnance. [23] e &e Story" gf Ordnance in the World War "Machine guns searched out the enemy, firing nickle- jacketed bullets at the rate of 600 a minute. Each gun, light enough to be carried by one man, developed more power than a racing auto- mobile. Up came the ammunition boxes containing the cartridge belts. One battery of machine guns was carrying on 'indirect fire/ By means of panoramic sights, clinometers, transits, angle-of -sight instruments, alidades, squares, protractors and special rulers the gunners aimed these weapons at their unseen target. Back of the machine-gun operators were the carts and voiturettes, ready to re- ceive the guns, tripods water boxes and empty ammunition boxes and hurry them away to another location. All of this material came from Ordnance. "Miniature cannon, the 37 millimeter 'machine gun extermina- tors' were wheeled into position where their one pound projectiles, resembling overgrown rifle cartridges, destroyed the enemy's ma- chine-gun nests. These guns, their ammunition, and their auxilliary equipment, the whole involving over 2,500 separate components, were from Ordnance. "A barrage was being thrown from our light field guns of 75 millimeter calibre. Tons of shell were required for this barrage and every fifteen pounds, representing a single round, was a com- plicated mechanism provided by Ordnance, comprising seventy- three separate and distinct component parts and embodying the highest developments of science and skill. Back of these light field guns were the miscellaneous vehicles; tractors, ammunition wagons, caissons, limbers, supply trucks — 264 of them to the artil- lery regiment. All of them were from Ordnance, as were the feed bags, horse covers, bridle sets, brushes, saddletrees, straps, harness sets, etc., that outfitted such horses as were used. "Out of the smoke lumbered the tanks — crawling forts, built and armed by Ordnance. Overhead our fighting planes started out. The machine guns that armed them, the mounts on which these guns were placed, the synchronizing mechanism that enabled them to shoot through the propellor path without hitting a blade, [24] t &e Story* gf Ordnance in the World War* the electric warmer that kept the oil in the guns from freezing, the counting device that told how many shots were left in the belt, the special incendiary armor-piercing bullets and their special dis- integrating cartridge belts — all of them came from Ordnance. "Infantrymen were throwing rifle grenades. Fitted to the muzzles of their rifles were miniature mortars which held the gre- nades so accurately that the rifle bullet which passed through the central hole in the grenade and which ignited its primer continued onward with hardly lessened velocity toward the enemy, followed by the grenade itself. A battery of trench mortars were hurling somersaulting shells filled with deadly TNT, each fitted with a fuse that would detonate by impact no matter in what position it struck. Flying overhead were the heavier trench mortar bombs, each of them carrying ninety pounds of high explosive. Little and big, these bombs and the mortars that projected them came from Ordnance. Batteries of 155-millimeters (6 inch) howitzers, out- ranging the enemy's light field guns were pouring forth their fire of destruction. Some of them mounted directly upon motorized Ordnance tractors, and climbed in and out of seemingly impossible ditches, stopped, fired their shot and again proceeded. Portable machine shops, compressed into the space of motor truck chassis, sped here and there to render first aid to damaged guns. Ammuni- tion trucks, supply trucks, spare parts trucks, observation trucks, motorized, and caissons and limbers of all sizes were either parked in service on their batteries or were moving into position. Eight- inch howitzers on wheels raised their ugly snouts toward heaven that they might send their selected targets to hell. Fifteen- and twenty-ton tractors pulled these heavy monsters about with ease over fields and ditches. All these things belong to Ordnance. "Overhead the throb of an enemy's plane brought our antiair- craft service into play. Complicated instruments, products of Ordnance, were sighted upon the plane, determining its altitude, speed and direction and taking into account the windage and the trajectory of the shell, predicting its position at the moment of fire. [25] We Story~ gf Ordnance in the World War Up went a salvo of antiaircraft shell, each one fitted with a special fuse so delicate in action that contact with the thin fabric of the airplane wing was sufficient to explode it, and yet so designed that accidental dropping upon the ground, in handling, would not cause detonation. "Still farther back were the monster railway mounts from eight-inch to sixteen-inch caliber. Each battery of these mobile monsters was accompanied by its quota of ammunition cars, spare parts cars and railway machine shops, all furnished and designed by Ordnance. Night came and bombing planes started out, each fitted with a release mechanism that held fused and loaded bombs — a dozen or more of them — and which dropped them .one, two at a time, three at once or all together, as desired. Each plane had its bomb sight, an instrument which told the bomber when to release his ^gg' so that it might find its desired mark a mile or more be- low. Release mechanism, bomb sight and bombs, all came from Ordnance. "Signal lights and rockets displayed red, white or green signals or 'caterpillar' combinations. Powerful illuminants suspended from parachutes made No Man's Land as bright as day. Signal stars shot from signal pistols told the positions of patrols. Back from their successful mission came the bombing planes, flares fastened to their wing-tips, lighting the landing field. All of these varied pyrotechnical displays were the products of Ordnance." Yet this statement but lists the products of Ordnance. It tells nothing of the story beneath, which is the work of Ordnance. To continue the story : Artillery provision is required for an Army of 5,000,000 men. In thirteen years the government arsenals have produced precisely as many guns of one caliber called for in the program as must now be produced each month. Or again, with other calibers, not a single gun has ever been produced in the United States. There is not even a design, a gun on paper. We must borrow plans from our friends the French. But their measurements are different. Their drawings must all be [26] We Story" sf Ordnance in the World War changed to conform with standardized American shop practice. We have no plant where this gun can be built, nor even an operating personnel to undertake the task of building and run- ning such a plant. Negotiations are opened with a group of men successful in the manufacture of automobiles. The facilities of their plants are fully absorbed with the production of war materials of other sorts. But they agree to build a plant for the manufacture of one part, roughly one-third, of the particular gun in question, if Ordnance will finance them and aid them with raw materials and labor. On a bare tract of land work is begun. In three months' time the plant, covering thirteen acres of ground is completed. Next six millions of dollars worth of machine tools, specially de- signed and built for this work, are installed. Shop men turn their hands to the making of a mechanism of French design such as was never produced by American mechanics before. In one pro- cess two borings are made in a steel tube, seven feet in length and these must run parallel for the whole length without a deviation of more than one two-thousandths of an inch. Beset with shortages in labor and raw materials, this force of men must learn this un- familiar task and perfect their shop practices until they can turn out this intricate mechanism as though they were Ford automobiles. When this has been accomplished, one-third of one of the guns of the artillery program has been provided. Multiply this task by the provision of sixteen plants for the making of cannon and by twenty- six plants for the making of gun carriages, on which the cannon rest ; design, buy, build and install machine tools in these plants at a cost of nearly $100,000,000; find labor for them and raw ma- terials for them in a chaotic war market ; inspect and proof -fire their product, and you will begin to have some idea of the significance of the statements of Mr. Van Deventer when he captures your im- agination with the word picture of a gun raising its snout toward heaven on the battlefields of France. Yet even in making this statement we encounter one of the dif- ficulties ever present when one attempts to convey an idea of the [27] W? Story gf Ordnance in the World War Ordnance program. The vast engineering and industrial problem we have just sketched represents only one part of the work, namely the provision of artillery. This same process, to a greater or less degree, had to be fought through with in the case of small arms, machine guns, tractors; tanks and trench warfare weapons of a hundred different sorts, not to mention the supplementary material of sights, range-finding instruments, pyrotechnics and such in- cidental items as sawed-off shotguns that Yankee ingenuity was inclined to add to this bewildering assortment of Kultur cures. At the outset, upon the declaration of war, the ready resources of the United States for the manufacture of Ordnance were loaded down with orders. There was only one delay. These orders had to be placed in accordance with the system in vogue with our republican form of Government. The year before the war, Con- gress had embarked upon a military program contemplating the yearly increase of the armed forces of the country by 250,000 men until a strength of 1,000,000 men was reached. The Ordnance program, dictated to the Army Ordnance Department by the Gen- eral Staff, which in turn received its orders from Congress, was to have followed out this man-power program. When war was de- clared against Germany, the Ordnance Department did the thing calculated to set the wheels going in the quickest possible time. Instead of attempting the very difficult and slow process of formu- lating a new Ordnance program, it crammed the total specifica- tions of the four-year peace time program into one and thus stood ready, or sought to stand ready, to begin immediate operations with an Ordnance program of unprecedented size for the United States, albeit one quite insufficient to meet the demands of a world war. But before operations could be begun, Congress had to ap- propriate funds. And before the estimates could be laid before Congress, they had to be embodied with the estimates of other de- partments of the War Department. When finally they were pre- sented to Congress, committee hearings were begun upon the de- tails of the program. It was not until three months after the dec- [28] There is no chance for bluff with Ordnance mate- riel. It is made for men and issued to men who have no other insurance of victory, no other safe- guard against death. The dependence placed upon it is too great to allow it to long enjoy a false reputation. When soldiers in battle express confidence in Ordnance material, they are backing their opinion with their lives and their judg- ments must weigh with the rest of us accordingly. A burst rifle barrel, a jammed cartridge means the life of a soldier for which Ordnance is respon- sible. Ordnance placed in the hands of the American soldier rifles that gave his country his worth as a man, plus his value with the best of the tools of war in his hand. The weapon had to be adapted to the man ; measured to fit his intel- ligence and his training. A rifle suited to the use of a Russian peasant soldier would not efficiently serve the American infantryman. A rifle designed for an expert marksman would not efficiently serve an army put into the field with but little training. [31] *®e Story" gf Ordnance in the World War laration of war that the first dollar was made available for tne manufacture of Ordnance materiel to fight the war. This was but a preliminary, emergency recommendation. Immediately the Ord- nance Department began the preparation of its estimates for the real work in hand, the creation of what really amounted to a new national industry throughout the land, the industry of munitions manufacture. At this point, it is felt necessary to make the first criticism of the Ordnance Department. It failed to break the law quickly enough. The law forbids the expenditure of money or the con- tracting of obligations before Congress has made an appropriation. Through the summer of 1917, the Ordnance Department proceeded to discuss contracts with hundreds of manufacturers. Every de- tail in these contracts was threshed out and the contracts made ready for signature while Congress was safeguarding the people's funds with its hearings upon the estimates. Finally in August, 1917, the Ordnance Department broke the law. Work was started upon contracts with the approval of the Ordnance Department. Congress made the necessary appropriation the following October. The first emergency appropriations of June, 1917 were for $1,057,- 557,030 and the appropriations of October were for $3,374,633,102. But even at this preliminary stage this was not a business that could be directed by those fifteen Ordnance officers who were on duty in Washington in April, 1917. The directing force, the com- posite mind of the commissioned personnel, had to be provided before the plants or the guns. Whence were to come the special- ists in designs and industrial processes to direct the execution of this stupendous program? Other of the technical and supply corps of the Army could find a ready-made stock of mental ability requiring but slight reshaping or training to fit it for war duties. The banks and accounting de- partments of commercial establishments offered trained material for paymasters ; electrical engineers, experts in telegraphy and tel- ephony were ready at hand for the signal corps; physicians and [32] &e Story gf Ordnance in the World War surgeons offered their skilled services to the Medical Department; civil engineers entered the Engineer Corps. Since men must be fed in peace as in war it was simply a matter of taking into the Army the trained men who directed food industries in peace times to ex- pand the commissary department. The automobile industry pro- vided technical men for the Motor Transport Service. In short each technical corps of the Army received trained men from the cor- responding industry developed as a part of the industrial peace- time organization of the country. But for Ordnance there was no corresponding industry in the peace organization. Ordnance is used only in war for the sole purpose of destroying the enemy, of killing men and demolishing fortifications or for the counter purpose of overcoming the de- structive force of the enemy's Ordnance. The weapons that are used for destruction are totally dissimilar in both design and manner of construction from any of the tools of peace. Consequently the engineers, chemists and industrial ex- perts in civilian life who had devoted themselves to the develop- ment and production of materials useful to a world at peace had no knowledge of the design or manner of making these specialized tools of war. This was the general rule. The exceptions to that rule were the relatively few experts of the only two commercial establishments in the country devoted to the manufacture of artil- lery, the experts who had been developed for the commercial manu- facture of powder and explosives and those in the very few peace industries closely analogous to certain branches of the work of the Ordnance Department, limited practically to the fireworks or pyro- technics industry and to the tractor industry. Knowledge of the industrial problems in the manufacture of rifles had also been de- veloped by commercial enterprise, particularly by orders placed with American manufacturers by the European belligerents be- fore the entrance of the United States into the war. The need for the services of this handful of experts in the plants being loaded down with orders for munitions was so great that the Ordnance [33] 1$e Storjr gf Ordnance in the World War Department had to forgo a claim upon them and only in very few instances were Ordnance officers obtained from their ranks. An idea of how Ordnance "experts" were improvised can best be given perhaps by reciting the policy of the Machine Gun Section of the Engineering Division. Before the war, a single Ordnance officer in that group of fifteen on duty in Washington had served as the expert "staff" on automatic weapons and he had combined his direction of machine-gun development and manufacture with numerous other heavy duties. Certainly not more than four other officers of the Ordnance Department in the field could have qual- ified as machine-gun experts. All of them were young officers, the highest rank held by any of them being that of Captain. To obtain an adequate staff of machine-gun "experts" a search was made through the training camps for men experienced in gas engine de- sign and manufacture. This was the closest analogy possible. These men were quickly trained in general knowledge of machine guns and then were made to specialize upon some particular problem. By this same process of taking from civilian life an engineer familiar with material bearing some analogy to something to be produced by Ordnance, then quickly training him in the gen- eralities of the line he was to follow in Ordnance and finally by jamming within the confines of some small fraction of one of the Ordnance problems his entire broad technical knowledge, were most of the Ordnance "experts" of the war period improvised. It is a tribute to the genius and adaptability of American engineers that they succeeded so remarkably well under such conditions. But also it is significant to note that in every instance where at the end Ordnance production was having hard sledding, the lack of expert technical knowledge was most difficult to overcome at the beginning. Nor was the lack of this technical knowledge felt only in the matter of design. To but a slightly lesser degree did it handicap the industrial work of production. Ordnance industry did not [34] ^e Story" sf Ordnance in the World War know commercial industry and commercial industry did not know Ordnance industry. Not only were the tools and equipment of the two different, but their ways of doing things were different. Their practice and methods had to be introduced to each other and harmonized. The ablest men from the industrial field were brought into the Ordnance Department only to find the necessity of learn- ing many things before they could hit their stride. And the Ord- nance Department of the Regular Army likewise had to reform and alter many of its arsenal practices when it began production in 5,000 private plants. At a monthly rate of increase which it is simply absurd to state in percentages, these 5,800 Ordnance officers were commissioned from civilian life and put at this new and unfamiliar business — en- gineers, industrial executives, financiers, administrators, labor ex- perts; designing, buying, building, inspecting, things they had most of them never seen prior to April 6th, 1917. Indeed, more than a year after the declaration of war the Trench Warfare Sections of the Ordnance Department gave a demonstration of materials they were making, at which time Colonel Ragsdale, in charge of the en- gineering work on trench warfare devices, frankly confessed that he had witnessed the use of some of the things for which his section was responsible for the first time in his life. If that was this of- ficer's familiarity with some of the 100,000 different things Ord- nance was producing after a year of war, it is interesting to con- jecture what knowledge of them most of the officers from civilian life had. Nor will any Ordnance officer consider frivolous the sug- gestion that in shaking down and transforming into an efficient industrial organization this huge number of executives (there were 79,720 civilian employees as the Ordnance clerical force) the mere task of finding office accommodations for them and the frequent moves from office to office and from building to building it was necessary to make, was, of itself, enough to ruin the Ordnance pro- gram and lose the war for democracy. The United States was at war nineteen months. As has been [35] *3fe Story* gf Ordnance in the World War said, the first appropriations made for the expansion and creation of plant facilities for the manufacture of Ordnance passed Con- gress in October. The work of organizing the Ordnance Depart- ment was carried forward meanwhile. These facts are repeated to emphasize the pertinent fact that in judging of the result achieved by the Ordnance Department in nineteen months of war, a good many of these months at the beginning should be eliminated from the reckoning because of unavoidable lost motion and of inactiv- ities for which the Ordnance Department was by no means respon- sible. It is my purpose, in presenting the final achievements of the Ordnance Department to use as a standard of measurement the actual production of Ordnance materiel by France and Great Britain during the same nineteen months of the war. It is there- fore important to bear in mind what transpired in the United States during these first months of that period because it is pro- posed to match achievements with two great nations who had been at war for three years before the period of comparison begins. You will concede, I doubt not, that it is a bold thing to attempt such a comparison. It is indicative, at least, of the confidence the Ordnance Department has in its record of achievement. Having given an idea of the disadvantages under which the Ord- nance Department undertook its superhuman task, let us see what handicaps were provided in favor of Ordnance. The allied nations made every possible effort to overcome the great disadvantage of lack of technical preparedness. They gave with unstinted gen- erosity plans, specifications, working models, the closely guarded secrets of their famous 75 millimeter gun and all other secret devices and processes. The three years of war experience of the Allies was made an open book for the United States Army Ord- nance Department. They sent Ordnance officers to the United States to assist. But the transportation of this technical knowl- edge to the American engineering and industrial field was a very difficult and slow process. For example, the French gave the specifications and models of artillery. But these specifications [36] t^e Story" if Ordnance in the World War were drawn to the metric system of measurement. American spec- ifications are based upon measurements by inches and fraction thereof. Wherefore every specification had to be changed. This was difficult. 1 inch equals 2.54001 centimeters. For the transposi- tion neither an exact multiple nor a simple fraction is offered. And there is not a plant in America where a single tool, drill, die .or screw will function to produce the result specified with the French plans based upon the centimeter. Shop practices in France and in the United States differ widely. Not only had the French drawings to be changed from the metric system of measurement, but they had to be made to conform to American shop practice. Not otherwise could American tool equipment and standard American steel shapes have been used. When they were introduced into American shops, these French specifications used by the Ordnance Department were not a trans- lation but an adaptation from the French. It is amazing to con- sider how deeply national characteristics are imbedded in mechani- cal design. We think of mechanical contrivances as things having certainly the least relationship to Latin, or Anglo-Saxon char- acter, psychology or philosophy. Yet the gun that a Frenchman designs is as French to its finger-tips, as Timothy Healy might put it, as any gown designed by Pacquin or as any poem of the Latin quarter. The Ford automobile was developed in America as the product of distinctively American mechanical genius and likewise the French 75-millimeter gun is the child of French temperment and French thought. The French could not with whatever assistance from Henry Ford in the way of plans and specifications duplicate the success of the Detroit enterprise, and we could not exactly duplicate the work of French mechanics in the manufacture of artillery. In America the mechanic becomes a specialist in the production of a single part working to tolerances, depending upon the accuracy of guages to produce interchangeable parts requir- ing little or no hand-fitting and machining when the entire mech- [37] ^e Story" sf Ordnance in the World War anism is assembled. But the French machinist is developed as a highly skilled artist working always with the picture of the com- pletely assembled mechanism in mind and in the habit of doing a great deal of careful hand-fitting as the parts are assembled. The French thus gain perfection in their work at the expense of speed. Generally speaking, highly efficient industrial organization on the immense scale common in America is impossible under the French system. But also the delicate work of the French machinist is impossible for the American workman used to a highly specialized job and working with guages and close tolerances. All through the war the effort was continued to perfect the adaptation of these French specifications to American shop prac- tices. Experts and foremen from the French arsenals visited the munitions plants in the United States and in turn the courtesies of the French plants were offered Americans. Every effort was made to bridge the difficulties resulting from this differentiation of national character. Nor is it thought to underestimate the value of French co-operation which was very great. The net profit to the Ordnance program from the availiability of French designs was of much value to the United States. But these diffi- culties encountered in the transposition must be understood before the Ordnance achievement in the war can be viewed with proper perspective. Also it is necessary to overcome the prevalent con- viction, that where French specifications were available to the Ordnance Department, the engineering problems were eliminated and the task was solely the industrial one of pushing production. The size of the Ordnance program has been suggested by the statement that in dollars it represented the expenditure within two years and three months of as much money as the United States Government had spent for every purpose whatsoever in over 140 years. Endless comparisons of this sort might be made to impress the layman more effectively with the size of the Ordnance task. For instance, Colonel James L. Walsh, Executive Assistant to the Chief of Ordnance, determined that the size of the program die- [38] Ordnance started here with a bare tract of land and a gun design borrowed from the French. In three months this thirteen-acre plant was built. Six millions of dollars worth of machine tools were installed. An operating organization was perfected under the handicaps of a chaotic market for labor and materials. Finally quantity produc- tion was achieved on a French mechanism of in- tricate design unlike anything ever built before by American mechanics, in which two borings were made through seven feet of steel tubing running parallel without a deviation of more than two- thousandths of an inch. Then one-third of one type of gun of the mammoth artillery program had been completed. It took Great Britain nearly four years to completely equip her army with artillery and artillery ammunition. The United States was in the war just nineteen months. In four years we should have, and would have, bet- tered Great Britain's record for her first four years of war. [41] Te Story gf Ordnance in the World War tated to the Ordnance Department by the General Staff was equiv- alent to the expenditure of a dollar for every five seconds of the time from the birth of Christ to the date of the signing of the Armistice. In seeking lurid comparisons to indicate the size of the ammunition output, an Ordnance officer became disgusted with computations based upon the distance to Mars and was last heard of seeking for a planet which really could show some class in its distance from Mother Earth. But the actual size of the Ordnance program was no greater barrier to success than its relative size. The fulfillment of even these stupendous requirements would be comparatively easy once the rate of production was attained, and the real trick of perform- ance lay in bridging the gap between the almost insignificant rate of production of pre-war times and the rate of production required for armies of millions of men at war. It is generally rec- ognized by military men that one of the reasons why the Navy got into its stride quicker than the Army was that the Navy operated in time of peace more nearly upon a war basis and the ratio of expansion of the Navy was but a fraction of that of the Army. With no Department of the War Department was expansion so extreme as with the Ordnance Department, for not only did Ord- nance have to perform the task of increasing its production from the supply of an Army of 100,000 men to one of 5,000,000 men (the size of the Army determined upon by the General Staff) but it had also to provide for an increase of Ordnance per man since the individual consumption of Ordnance materiel in war is thou- sands of time greater than in peace, whereas a man cannot eat much more in war than he does in peace. Therefore, had Ord- nance been supplying the individual soldier with as much rifle ammunition in peace as he required in war, its task would have been to increase production 50,000 times in order to supply the Army of 5,000,000 men contemplated. But each soldier using such ammunition required over 1,000 per cent more in war than in peace. [42] ^e Story"* gf Ordnance in the World War' Hence the Ordnance task was to expand production 50,000 times 1,000 per cent. Beyond this even the developments of the war burdened Ord- nance with the provision of a vast number of new weapons and an expansion in the use of others, for instance, the machine gun which was increased from fifty guns to an infantry division to over one thousand. The substitution of motor-drawn for horse-drawn artillery likewise increased the demands upon the Ordnance Department to a tremendous degree beyond the requirements of the pre-war period. In no previous war was the provision of Ord- inance materiel, of metal per man, comparable to the supply re- quired in this war. It was a war of Ordnance. Of all the reasons rumored for the sudden crumpling of the German strength one sub- stantial thing upon which we can put our finger, was the certain knowledge that Germany's efforts had exhausted her Ordnance reserves. With America coming into the field with fresh men backed with unlimited Ordnance supplies German man-power could not stand the strain. ARTILLERY The story of artillery must be written with a prologue — the story of the building of plants, the design, purchase, Construction and installation of machine tools, and the development of operating organizations to carry through the artillery program. With the exception of two private manufacturing concerns, the Bethlehem Steel Co. and the Midvale Steel Company, there was not a manu- facturer in the United States who was equipped to build artillery or who knew anything of the processes. For the most part, private plants in existence were required for the production of other war materials and so, for the manufacture of artillery, it was necessary to build new plants. Even before that could be started, however, the Ordnance Department found it necessary to locate a group of manufacturers willing to attempt this work. As an illustration, to build the recuperator system for a piece of artillery the Ordnance [43] *®e Story sf Ordnance in the World War Department would select a successful manufacturer of sewing ma- chines, automobiles, safes or elevators ; would provide him financial support for the erection of a plant, start out with him in the digging of a foundation for his plant, work with him while it was building, assist him with the development of an operating organization, with the purchase and installation of machine tools and finally start him upon the actual work of manufacturing a recuperator. The facilities of government arsenals for the manufacture of artillery were out of all proportion to the program dictated to the Ordnance Department by the General Staff. They had manu- factured as many 3-inch field guns in thirteen years as the Ord- nance program for the war called for in one month. Obviously, the task of the Ordnance Department under such conditions is not comparable in any respect with that which confronted France, Great Britain or Germany. Germany had Krupps. Prance had tremendous arsenals. England had developed the manufacture of naval guns for her own uses and for commercial purposes. How- ever, from the standpoint of pre-war preparedness, or unprepared- ness if you please, the position of England was perhaps more fairly comparable to that of the United States than in the case of any of the other great belligerent nations. It is interesting therefore for Americans to consider the following statement from the British Ministry of Munitions: "It is very difficult to say how long it was before the British Army was thoroughly equipped with artillery and ammunition. The ultimate size of the Army aimed at was continually increased during the first three years of the war, so that Ordnance require- ments were continually increasing. It is probably true to say that the equipment of the Army, as planned in the early summer of 1915, was completed by September, 1916... As a result, however, of the battle of Verdun and the early stages of the battle of the Somme, a great change was made in the standard of equipment per division of the Army, followed by further increases in September, 1916. [44] Ws Storjr gf Ordnance in the World War The Army was not completely equipped on this new scale until Spring 1918." It took Great Britain nearly four years to completely equip her army with artillery and artillery ammunition. The United States was in the war just nineteen months. It must be borne in mind that the United States began with the revised standards of artillery equipment ; that is to say the United States undertook at the outset a total program based upon standards which the British did not adopt until after the battle of the Somme. Had the war lasted longer, this would have been a tremendous advantage to the United States, for it always makes for ultimate delay to enlarge and revise a munitions program in the middle of the game. But to embark upon the larger program at the outset, inevitably reduces produc- tion in the early stages. As Major General Williams expresses it, "Obviously a housewife could buy an oven and bake six loaves of bread in less time than a bakery could be built and provision made for the needs of an entire city." Starting with the more ambitious program, therefore, less production could reasonably be expected of the United States than of Great Britain in the first two years of war, because the United States would devote a relatively greater part of its effort to plant construction and preliminary work. In four years, however, we should have, and would have, bettered Great Britain's record for her first four years of war. To judge of what actually was accomplished therefore it is necessary to measure progress made in the building of these plants before we take up the count of artillery production in detail. Even in judging of progress in this preliminary work, it is necessary to strike out several months. The first war appropriation for artil- lery construction was not passed by Congress until June and the full allotment for this work was not available until October 6, 1917 ; six months after our entrance into the war. Appropriations prior to that date provided for about one sixth of the artillery required for the first two million men. To give an idea of the preliminary plant construction and equip- [45] / ^e Story" gf Ordnance in the World War ment work two statements are here quoted which were issued by the Ordnance Department in the summer of 1918, reporting pro- gress along this line. The first of these statements, issued July 26, 1918, is as follows: "The Army Ordnance Department announces the completion of 15 of the 16 gun plants for the forging and machining of cannon. The sixteenth plant is 85 per cent complete. "In the erection of these plants the Government has expended $34,768,297. "It was necessary to provide these plants as a preliminary to the production of but one part of a complete gun which includes, be- sides the body or barrel, a carriage and a complicated recuperator and recoil system. "All sixteen plants now are producing cannon or cannon forg- ings for mobile artillery from 11/2 inches to ten inches. "While none of the companies operating these plants had ever been engaged in Ordnance manufacture, all have successfully met the rigid requirements and are today producing material that is the equivalent of the best products of the ordnance manufacturers of France and Great Britain. "The building of the sixteen plants started as soon as funds be- came available — in July, 1917 — and progressed so rapidly that ma- chinery was in operation and actual operations on cannon in pro- gress in January, 1918. One plant, the site of which was a ravine in August, 1917, had completed its first 6-inch howitzer in February, 1918 — seven months later. "Construction of almost all the plants was delayed by weather conditions, traffic delays, and the pressure on the machine tool in- dustry, upon which heavy demands were being made by many departments of the Government, including the Navy and the Emergency Fleet Corporation. The Ordnance Department was forced to wait its turn* "Typical of weather conditions that delayed construction was the forming of two feet of ice in the wooden forms into which [46] &e Story* gf Ordnance in the World War cement was being poured for the foundation of a large press at one plant. A circus tent was pitched over the operation and stoves were installed to permit the work to proceed. A storm at night lifted the tent into the Delaware River. "Typical of traffic delays was the holding of five carloads of steel for three weeks within fifteen miles of the site of the plant building. "Of the sixteen plants, five have their machinery 100 per cent installed and 100 per cent in operation. Five others are 90 per cent or more complete as to installation of machinery. Only two are as low as 65 per cent, and one of these is the $9,180,207 project at the Watervliet Government Arsenal." The second statement issued by Ordnance dealt with the twenty-six additional gun carriage plants which had to be built as a preliminary to the manufacture of artillery. It was issued on August 23, 1918, and is as follows: "The Army Ordnance Department announces the completion of 19 of 26 plants for the production of gun carriages and recoil mechanisms. Of the seven other plants, four are 98 per cent com- plete, one is 95 per cent complete, one 90 per cent complete, and one 85 per cent complete. "To provide plant facilities — buildings and machinery — for the production on a large scale of carriages and recoil mechanisms for artillery of all calibres, the Ordnance Department has expended $24,837,336. Altogether the amount expended or obligated to date to provide facilities for the production of guns (artillery, of course), carriages and recoil mechanisms, totals $99,606,633. This sum does not include provision made for the manufacture of artil- lery limbers, caissons, and ammunition wagons. "As was the case with the gun plants, a new industry had to be created for the production of gun carriages. The problem of car- riage production in America was even more difficult than that of forging and machining cannon. For example, the carriage of the 240 mm. howitzer, the most complex of carriages, comprises about [47] *®e Story gf Ordnance in the World War 6,000 separate pieces, exclusive of rivets. The carriage for 155 mm. guns or 155 mm. howitzers, comprises between 3,000 and 3,500 separate pieces, exclusive of rivets. "All of the twenty six gun carriage plants are in operation, even those that took over the production of French models. The build- ing of French model carriages in this country necessitated special arrangements with the French government, the procurement of French drawings of all parts of the carriages, the translation into English measurements of those drawings, the selection of plants to manufacture the carriages, the building of new shops, the manu- facture and installation of special machinery, even the building of special machine tools with which to make the machine tool equip- ment of the carriage plants, the standardization of manufacture to such a degree that any part produced in any plant should be inter- changeable with any similar part produced in any other plant, and all parts produced in American plants should be interchangeable with similar parts produced in French plants. "Two companies are producing carriages for the 155 mm. howitzer. One of these formerly made steel passenger cars and the other safes. A company which formerly manufactured hoisting and mining machinery is making carriages for the 155 mm. gun. There are three types of the 75 mm. gun carriage in production at four plants, of which one is a government arsenal, one produced ordnance before the war, one manufactured automobiles, and an- other one air brakes. Recoil mechanisms for the 155's are being made by an elevator company and by an automobile manufacturer, and those for the 75's are being made by a sewing machine com- pany and a government arsenal." So here was the Ordnance Department in the summer of 1918 announcing the practical completion of a new $100,000,000 industry as a preliminary to the manufacture of artillery. It was a new industry throughout, new machine tools, new processes, new or else foreign and unfamiliar designs, new operating organizations. And it was built under the most difficult conditions, delays in [48] Some of the medicine for the Huns that Ordnance had ready for shipment overseas when the armis- tice was signed. A park of American-made 155- m. m. howitzers at Aberdeen Proving Ground. Each of these guns, in one minute, can hurl five 95-pound projectiles a distance of well over seven miles. The gun is automatically restorted to its original position within 13 seconds after being fired. It is this feature — the hydro-pneumatic recoil system — which gives this rapidity of fire and makes this so formidable a weapon. It is also the recoil which proved so difficult to manu- facture. The guns are at the Aberdeen Proving Ground to be proof-fired. No weapon was re- leased to American troops until it had been thus tested. The first model or pilot-gun was sub- mitted to very severe tests. Such a gun was in fact shot to pieces to determine its length of life. Subsequently each gun of that type was proof- fired to make certain that it would properly function at the front. [51] We Story sf Ordnance in the World War traffic, almost unprecedented weather conditions, scarcity in raw materials, machine tools and labor, factors largely or wholly out- side the control of the Ordnance Department. No man may rightly or intelligently comment upon the performance of the Ordnance Department in the production of artillery unless he knows this preliminary work through and through. It is only by keeping a realization of it constantly in mind in reading the pages that follow in this book, that the reader may understand at all the significance of the facts and figures hereafter given in connection with the artillery program. MOBILE FIELD ARTILLERY Types of mobile field artillery placed under quantity production during the war period ranged from the little 37-millimeter, or 1.5 inch, "infantry cannon," a French design, which two husky in- fantrymen could lift from the ground, to the powerful French 240- millimeter howitzer and the British 9.2-inch gun, which had ap- proximately the same bore. This little 1.5-inch weapon, designed by the French in 1885, came into its own during the great war. It was chiefly employed in assault on the German concrete pill boxes, machine-gun nests, or other isolated strongholds. It proved itself a veritable tartar at the work. Three or four well directed shots were generally suf- ficient to effectually wipe them out. Loading a substantial charge of TNT, it had an effective range of more than two miles, and deadly accuracy in either direct or indirect fire was obtained through its elaborate fire control equipment. When placed in action the wheel gear was dropped and the gun set up on its front leg and a rear split trail, forming a tripod. In quick advance action the gun could be detached from its support mechanism, two in- fantrymen carrying each of the two parts, while the other four men of the crew of eight brought up the ammunition boxes, ordinarily carried in a trailer. One of these weapons was issued to each bat- talion, or three to a regiment. [52] ^e Story* gf Ordnance in the World War Beginning in October, 1917, the Ordnance Department placed orders for a total of 2,597 of these guns, 826 having been completed when the armistice was signed. Orders for 641 were placed with the French. When hostilities ceased, American factories were turning out ten a day, or more than sufficient to supply our divis- ions. Problems quite out of proportion to the dimensions of this little weapon were encountered in placing it in production in American factories, but these were successfully solved and the program was well up to the mark when the fighting ceased. THE REDOUBTABLE 75. Mounting in the scale of sizes, we come to the 75-millimeter gun. This weapon played the most important role in the victory of Allied arms; it practically dominated the battlefields of Europe. The Ordnance Department from the beginning stressed its produc- tion to the point where for every gun of another size produced we turned out a 75. It thus constituted in itself one-half of our entire artillery program. In the production of this class of weapon the Ordnance Depart- ment had to begin practically from the "take-off." We had no model of our own in production that could be adhered to, our equip- ment in this class of weapon when we entered the war consisting of 640 three-inch field guns of the old 1902 model. In the evolution of Ordnance the limited elevation and traverse of this weapon had rendered it obsolescent. The Ordnance Department faced the un- deniable fact and did not yield to the poor argument that because this model might be produced with greater facility than a new one it should be given preference. The split-trail design of light field gun had been demonstrated to be immeasurably superior. It per- mitted far greater elevation of fire by letting the gun body swing down between the divergent trails and also a wider traverse move- ment of the gun than was possible with the single-trail carriage. Fortunately, the Ordnance Department had itself in 1913 begun the [53] We Story" gf Ordnance in the World War development of a split-trail carriage design. A model of this design had been thoroughly tested and an order for 172 had been placed a few months before we entered the war. But no facilities had been established and the 1916 model of carriage, as it is known, had in no sense come into production. Early quantity production in this class of weapon was rec- ognized as the paramount necessity. The French 75-millimeter gun was recognized as the premier weapon of this class and every effort was made at once to transplant its manufacture to this country. But delay and uncertainty in getting production under way were seen to be inevitable. It would have been imprudent, in- deed, to hold up all other production until this could be done, yet the Ordnance Department was criticized in many quarters for splitting up its program in this class of weapon instead of concentrating from the beginning on the French 75. The Bethlehem Steel Company had been manufacturing car- riages for the British 3.3-inch gun, capacity was there ready to be utilized to the limit, and the Ordnance Department wisely de- termined to use it. Orders for 1,427 of the British type of carriage were placed in rapid succession with the Bethlehem company, be- ginning in May, 1917. Simultaneously, additional orders were placed for 755 of our own 1916 model. These orders constituted a very wise alternative to the French 75 project. Shortly after they were placed, the Ordnance Department reached the momentous de- cision to make both types of carriage conform to the French 75- millimeter size — slightly less than 3 inches. Here, indeed, was a master stroke in our war-time ordnance preparation. Munitions production was simplified enormously by calling for the manu- facture of a uniform size shell for this class of gun, and above all it gave us interchangeability of ammunition with the French on the battlefield. The problem of getting sufficient gun bodies produced for the 75-millimeter units was far less vexing. Orders were placed for these concurrently with the carriage orders and their production [54] *®e Story" gf Ordnance in the World War was well timed with the other program. Three types of gun bodies were built, the American, British, and French type, but all of the 7 5 -millimeter bore. Meanwhile all plans for getting the French 75 carriage under production were being held up because of difficulty and delay in getting the drawings. The first drawings were not received until August, 1917, and complete data were not in hand until the follow- ing April, more than a year after our entry into the war. Many of the measurements the French themselves did not have upon paper. In producing the superb recuperator mechanism of these carriages they relied extensively upon hand fitting and deviated considerably from blue print dimensions. Finally, all drawings as received had to be translated into our units of measurement, which constituted one of the greatest tasks involved in the French gun projects. Construction of the recuperator systems on these guns pre- sented the most formidable challenge to American industrial and technical skill that it has perhaps ever been called upon to meet. Such exquisitely fine workmanship was necessary in the production of these recuperators that French ordnance experts were skeptical, and justifiably so, that the American mechanic could be trained in their production in time for their use in the war. Although the superiority of the recuperator on this as well as on the larger French guns was universally conceded, Germany had never been able to make them, and England, with the assistance of French ordnance experts freely offered at the beginning of the war, did not attempt them. By December, 1917, complete drawings for the carriage of the French 75 had been received and an order for 3,049 of them was placed with the Willys-Overland Motor Car Company. Not until February, 1918, however, were all specifications for the recuperator in hand. After a thorough canvass of all industrial establishments that might be induced to undertake the manufacture of this mechanism, the Singer Manufacturing Company, producers of sew- ing machines, finally consented to do so, and in March, 1918, they [55] e &e Story" gf Ordnance in the World War accepted an order for 2,500 recuperators. The following month 1,000 additional were ordered to be turned out at the Rock Island Arsenal. When these recuperators began to come through, it marked their first production in a factory outside of French ter- ritory. When hostilities ceased American factories were turning out carriages for the three types of 75-millimeter gun at the rate of 393 per month, a total of 1,221 having been delivered up to that time. The production of gun bodies was always ahead of the carriage output. At the rate of increase in carriage production we would have been turning out 800 carriages a month by February, 1919. To equip our divisions in France before it could be hoped that American factories could attain quantity production in 75-milli- meter material, the Ordnance Department took advantage of ex- cess capacity in the French shops, and beginning in June, 1917, placed orders with the French Government for a total of 2,806 75- millimeter guns, of which 1,828 had been delivered when the armistice was signed. But the rate of output attained by our own ordnance preparation would have been sufficient to supply 75's for our entire projected army of 3,360,000 men on the front in the summer of 1919. OUR OWN PRODUCT. In placing in quantity production the 4.7-inch field gun, 1906 model, of which we had 62 in service when we entered the war, the United States contributed a highly effective weapon to the artillery strength of the Allied armies. It was a proven weapon, developed under exhaustive tests and experiments. Had the war continued so as to permit an effective accumulation of these guns, their best target would have been the enemy's 77-millimeter gun. With their greater range and power, they would have been particularly useful in destroying this enemy weapon. At its maximum elevation of 15 degrees, this gun throws a 60- pound projectile a distance of 4 1/2 miles, and has a correspond- [56] *3?e Story" gf Ordnance in the World War ingly greater range with lighter projectiles. It has a recoil action of 70 inches, taken up by a hydraulic cylinder and a system of springs. Owing to the very limited ready capacity for turning out car- riages and gun bodies for this unit, the Ordnance Department faced almost the same pioneer undertaking in its production as in the case of the French designs. It was necessary to place orders for gun forgings with manufacturers who had had no previous exper- ience whatever in the work. Owing to great variations in the gross section of the gun bodies these manufacturers experienced great difficulty in the heat treatment of the forgings. The program in- volved the erection of entirely new forging and machining plants in many cases. It involved trans-shipment of rough forgings to the machine shop, perhaps several hundred miles away, under the fear- fully congested transportation conditions that prevailed in those months. That is why the output of finished gun bodies determined in the case of this 4.7-inch gun the number that we could put on the front. Carriage production in this unit was always considerably ahead of cannon output. Despite the enormous obstacles encountered in getting pro- duction of this gun under way, which we can do barely more than suggest in this space, when the armistice was signed production was mounting into substantial monthly deliveries. More than 150 gun bodies had been completed and of the total of 933 carriages, in- cluding recoil mechanism, ordered beginning in July, 1917, 308 had been delivered. THE 155-MILLIMETER HOWITZER. There is no finer product of French gun craft than the 155- millimeter howitzer. Next to the 75-millimeter gun, it was the most serviceable weapon in the Allied armies and the best known. There could be no greater testimonial to the skill and resourceful- ness of American industry than its duplication in the space of a few months of this weapon which had never before been built out- [57] *®e Story" gf Ordnance in the World War side of the factory of its original designer, the French firm of Schneider & Cie. The French had been developing and perfecting the design of this gun for nearly twenty years when the war began in 1914. The 155 howitzer weighs less than four tons, is extremely mobile for a weapon of its size, and in one minute can hurl five 95- pound projectiles a distance of well over 7 miles. This rapidity of fire is made possible by the perfection of its hydropneumatic recoil system, which restores the huge gun body to its exact aim within 13 seconds after each shell is fired by means of converting the recoil action into compressed air energy which realigns the gun. It was the duplication of this superfine mechanism that formed the crux of the entire project, just as did the 75-millimeter recuperator. Consider that this 155 recuperator is turned out from a solid forg- ing weighing 3,875 pounds, which is reduced to only 870 pounds when converted into the finished article, after a machining process requiring the finest precision. The carriage for the 155 howitzer also proved the most difficult to manufacture of all the gun mounts placed under production. The extreme lightness and mobility of this weapon was obtained by the combination of a very short cannon and the incorporation of many ingenious features of design to reduce the weight of the carriage. The latter was built of a multiplicity of pressed steel and flanged parts instead of one or two major castings, which neces- sitated the design and construction of numberless jigs and fixtures before it could be placed in production. It also required a high grade of steel and bronze that had previously not been manu- factured in quantity in this country. Although the plans of the 155 howitzer were secured in the spring of 1917, the work of translating the specifications into American measurements monopolized the entire time of an expert staff until the next October. By August, 1917, however, it was pos- sible to place an order for 3,000 gun bodies for this unit. The con- cern that accepted the order built and equipped an entire plant and [58] A French-made 155-m.m. howitzer firing from the ruins of the captured town of Varennes at the retreating German columns. The French had been developing and perfecting the design of this gun for nearly twenty years when the war began. From the Spring of 1917 until the following October was spent in adapting the design of this gun to American shop practice. The concern that accepted the order for the gun bodies, built and equipped an entire plant and was turning out 12 gun bodies a day within six months. The first gun carriage was completed in July 1918. An- other $10,000,000 plant was built for the manu- facture of the recuperator of this gun, the most difficult mechanical operation of all. By Novem- ber, 1918, recuperators were being produced at the rate of 16 per day; 854 having been com- pleted when the armistice was signed. When hos- tilities ended, the first regiment equipped with these weapons made in the U. S. A. was waiting to embark. [61] If you will stop to count the number of caissons and limbers shown in this picture it will give you a basis upon which to build an understanding of the magnitude of the artillery program. There was nothing very difficult in the production of these caissons and limbers — a mere problem in quantity production. It was to provide the cor- responding gun and carriage for each of them that was the herculean task of Ordnance. With one type alone — the 3-inch or 75-millimeter — it was the task of Ordnance during the World War to produce a number each month equal to the total production for the United States Army during the thirteen years preceding our entrance into the war. The United States Army had never been provided with the larger caliber mobile field guns, for the very good reason that American artillery, designed for American defense, was not intended for the special task of fortress demolition en- countered in the war in Europe. f631 W? Story" gf Ordnance in the World War was turning out 12 bodies a day within six months after the con- tract was signed. This feat, performed by the American Brake Shoe and Foundry Company, of Erie, Pa., stands out as perhaps the most remarkable of our Ordnance preparation. Orders for 2,469 carriages were placed in November, 1917. Despite the dif- ficulties encountered in getting production under way, the first car- riage was completed and ready for test in July, 1918. The recuperator was the third group into which the manufac- ture of this weapon was divided in order to obtain the advantage of specialization. Great difficulty was experienced in locating a con- cern willing to undertake the manufacture of such an exacting piece of mechanism as the 155 recuperator. The responsibility was finally accepted, however, by Dodge Bros., of Detroit, manufac- turers of motor cars, the order being placed in November, 1917. To execute it they built and equipped an elaborate plant at a cost of $10,000,000, carrying out the project under the handicaps of labor scarcity and the severe winter that followed. A variety of difficulties arose to prevent proper functioning of the first recuperators assembled. The work of machining the forg- ings had proceeded favorably until the final operation. This con- sisted of polishing the interior of the long cylinder to a mirror like glaze and still retaining the extreme accuracy necessary to prevent leakage of oil past the piston. Several weeks elapsed before this operation could be perfected. Then changes in the quality of the oil were found necessary. The primary difficulty of the whole undertaking was due to the fact that we were using French draw- ings and technical devices with American shop methods. French shop practice may vary much from the drawings, relying on "hand fitting" instead of working within "tolerances" on measurements as is generally done in American shops. Thus we have the explana- tion of how the last and most persistent obstacle was overcome by a slight alteration in two small parts of the recuperator. These had been produced according to drawing, but evidently in their pro- duction the French tended to closer hand fitting. [64] W? Story" gf Ordnance in the World War By undaunted perseverance production was finally gotten under way and recuperators that duplicated the perfect functioning of the French product were being turned out at the rate of 16 a day by November, 1918. Of the 3,714 recuperators ordered, 854 had been finished when the armistice was signed, and this number was increased to 1,238 a month later. Meanwhile production of the howitzer gun bodies had pro- ceeded so favorably that it was possible to sell 550 to the French government in September, 1918, a total of 1,172 having been com- pleted when the armistice was signed. The howitzer carriage pro- ject had reached a total production of 154 and the rate of increase would have placed this total at 230 a month later. Of the 2,575 car- riage limbers ordered, 273 had been completed when hostilities ceased. Although this great project was pushed forward as rapidly as possible, hostilities came to an end before any of the 155-millimeter howitzers built in this country could be packed and shipped over- seas. The first regiment to be equipped with this weapon, however, was ready to embark and the guns were awaiting shipment at the dock when the fighting ceased. Deliveries on early orders placed with the French for the 155 howitzer totaled 821 up to the signing of the armistice. THE 155-MILLIMETER GUN. The story of the reproduction in America of this French weapon runs for the most part parallel to the history of our 155 howitzer project. Being of the "gun" design, this weapon has a longer cannon body than its howitzer brother and thus achieves the exceedingly high muzzle velocity of 2,400 feet per second with a 95-pound projectile which it hurls considerably more than ten miles. Its chief ad- vantages lie in its wide range of usefulness combined with its ex- tremely simple and rugged design. To absorb the rolling shock of the eight tons of steel amassed in this unit the mount is spring sup- [65] We Story" gf Ordnance in the World War ported, and the wheels are equipped with a double tread of solid rubber tires. By an ingenious arrangement it is also possible in a few minutes to attach a caterpillar tread to the wheels whenever soft ground is encountered. A large clearance for recoil at high elevations of fire and also a wide angle of traverse in directing fire are made possible by the split trail design. The weapon is equipped with a hydropneumatic recoil system so arranged that the gun body slides directly in the recuperator forging during recoil. A low center of gravity is obtained by small diameter wheels and a trunnioned "cradle" which reduces considerably the height of the cannon. While recuperators for the 155 gun were ordered from Dodge Bros., their special plant having been built to house this as well as the howitzer recuperator work, the project was made secondary to that of the howitzer and work was not commenced on it until April, 1918. Much difficulty was encountered in machining the first forg- ings. Even with this overcome, it was impossible to complete a recuperator under normal conditions in less than three months from the time the forging came into the machine shop. The first re- cuperator was delivered in October, 1918. A total of 110 rough machined recuperator forgings were shipped to France, however, to be finished there and made available for units shipped from the United States without recuperators. The carriage of this gun was very much simpler to construct than the howitzer carriage. It consisted principally of two large steel castings as contrasted with the multiplicity of parts called for in the howitzer carriage. An order for 1,446 carriages and the same number of limbers was placed in November, 1917, and the first carriage was delivered in August, 1918. By the last week in October production had increased to the rate of 7 a day. Design of the cannon or gun body of this unit is complicated by the necessity of providing resistance to the high velocity of its shell fire. The long body is built up of a number of jackets and hoops to secure this strength. Its production, therefore, involved [66] *®e Storjr gf Ordnance in the World War more than the forging and machining of a single heavy piece. Orders for the cannon were placed in November, 1917, and were divided between the Bullard Engineering Works, at Bridgeport, Conn., and the Watervliet Arsenal. A total of 2,160 cannon were ordered. The Bullard Engineering Works had first to construct an entirely new plant and assemble and set up all necessary equip- ment, while the arsenal had to extend its shops and also secure much new equipment. The project was an enormous one, but de- liveries from the arsenal began in July and during the single month of October a total of 50 gun bodies were completed there and at the Bullard Works. Early in 1919, with the latter company com- ing into heavy production, it is certain that deliveries would have reached eight per day. We gain some conception of the magnitude of such a project as the production of this 155 gun when we consider that, exclusive of all cannon parts, a total of 416 drawings and tracings were re- quired to carry out the translation of the original French drawings into our units of measurement. Despite the enormous difficulty at that time of securing competent draftsmen, all of these drawings were completed in a few weeks, which may, indeed, in itself be ranked as an extraordinary achievement. When the armistice was signed, 368 carriages and 370 limbers and 71 gun bodies for this unit had been actually completed. Six- teen combinations of these parts had been floated for overseas to be matched with the recuperators which we had sent to France for machining, and the balance were packed for overseas shipment. Had hostilities not been brought to an end in November our own recuperator project for this gun would have been in a short time brought up to match the output of carriages and gun bodies, to make us entirely independent of French shops in producing the 155 millimeter gun. The Dodge plant was expected to develop a max- imum production capacity of ten recuperators a day. With the company's original order reduced to 880 recuperators after the [67] V *®e Story* gf Ordnance in the World War signing of the armistice, all of this number had been completed by May 1, 1919. THE BRITISH HOWITZERS. Overflow of British orders to American plants for the British 8- inch and 9.2-inch howitzer designs had developed ready capacity in this country for the production of field weapons of the larger size which the Ordnance Department at once took advantage of upon our entrance into the war. This 8-inch howitzer had been designed by the British in the early days of the war and had proved its fight- ing qualities on the battlefield. Just eight days after our declara- tion of war with Germany, April 14, 1917, we ordered 80 of these 8- inch units from the Midvale Steel & Ordnance Co., at Nicetown, Pa., the concern that was manufacturing them under British con- tract at that time. It was understood that production on our order would begin upon completion of the British order. Production pro- ceeded so favorably that the first completed unit was proof -fired on December 13, 1917, with excellent results, and by May, 1918 pro- duction had increased to six per week. Under a subsequent con- tract the total order for this unit was increased to 195, of which 146 were completed and accepted to November 14, 1918; 96 being shipped overseas. To keep up with the stride of artillery development during the war, it was found advisable to design an 8-inch howitzer with longer range than the first unit produced by the Midvale Co. When this design was brought out it proved a range of nearly 13,000 yards, or about 2,000 yards greater than that of the first 8-inch design. This second design was known as the Mark VIII- 1/2 and the first as the Mark VI. An order for 100 of the new type was placed with the Midvale Co. on October 2, 1918, carrying specifications also for a new and heavier type of carriage. The Bethlehem Steel Company was working on a contract with the British government for the British 9.2-inch howitzer when we entered the war. The company expected to complete the orders by [68] Vfe Story" gf Ordnance in the World War July, 1917. Here also was established capacity for early heavy gun production and the Ordnance Department took advantage of it by placing an order with the Bethlehem company for 100 of the 9.2-inch howitzers calling for British specifications throughout. At the same time we placed orders for 132 of these units in England, British production of medium and heavy guns having become so well established at that time that it was possible for them to under- take to contribute to the equipment of our first divisions. The Bethlehem company was unable to reach production on our order but the British concerns delivered 40 howitzers before the armistice was signed. But in the general scheme laid out for equipping our divisions with heavy howitzers, orders for both the 8-inch and the 9.2-inch design were placed merely because established facilities insured early deliveries. Our goal was quantity production on the French 240-millimeter howitzer design, the project that we will next re- view, and production of the other designs was from the beginning subordinated to our preparations for turning out the French weapon. THE 240-mm. HOWITZER PROJECT Recognizing that production of this enormous weapon on the scale contemplated would tax our already over-burdened industrial capacity to the limit and that early quantity production therefore was out of the question, deliveries in the 240-millimeter howitzer program were aimed entirely at the year 1919. The British howitzer designs, with ready facilities for their production, had been turned to to fill in the gap before the tremendous task of trans- planting the manufacture of the French weapon to this country could be pushed to the point of deliveries. The 240 howitzer is only a fraction of an inch larger in bore than the British 9.2 howitzer, measuring almost exactly 9.5 inches. Yet, against the latter weapon's range of about 6 miles with a 290- pound shell, the French design hurls a 356-pound shell, carrying a [69] *®e Story" gf Ordnance in the World War high explosive bursting charge of 50 pounds, a distance of nearly ten miles. The British design was an effective weapon, however, and should not be discredited by comparison with this superlative product of French gun science. It was planned that our entire second army of 30 divisions should be equipped with 240 howitzers, based on the rate of in- crease in our overseas forces contemplated during the first few months of our participation in the war. In the summer of 1917 the French and British Governments had advised us that they would be able to equip our first 30 combat divisions in 1918 with heavy howitzers. With this source to supplement our British howitzer orders here, therefore, it was anticipated that quantity production of the 240 howitzer beginning in the early spring of 1919 would be well timed to meet requirements. And by surplus production in 1919 it was planned to replace all losses in the 8-inch and 9.2-inch designs with the 240 howitzer. As we adapted the 240-millimeter howitzer from the French Schneider model, it was composed of four major parts — the how- itzer barrel, the top carriage, the cradle with recoil mechanism, and the firing platform. We may glean some idea of the immensity of this project from the fact that it was necessary to provide each of these parts with its own transport wagon and limber and a ten- ton tractor for motive power. The weapon was set up for action by means of a complete erecting frame and small crane, the firing platform being first placed on the ground, the top carriage imposed on that, this bearing the cradle with recoil mechanism, and finally the howitzer barrel itself was set in place. Each of these major sections, of course, was composed of a mul- tiplicity of smaller parts, requiring in their production exacting grades of iron, steel and other metals as well as the most precise machining, and having to pass rigid tests for strength and dimen- sion. Indeed, the production of one of these monstrous weapons would, in pre-war days, have been considered a difficult undertak- [70] Upper : Railroad gun in action north of Mailly, France, May, 1918. Lower : Railroad gun in tran- sit. An 8-inch gun and narrow gauge armament train. Ordnance received assistance with its rail- way artillery program, finding available 464 big guns, completed or under manufacture, which came from the coast defense and from the Navy. Ordnance had to design and produce the gun cars and mounts, and complete armament trains. Despite delays incident to slow deliveries of mate- rial, labor shortage, etc., eighteen complete units had been turned out when the armistice was signed and — of even more importance — the plants had developed a capacity of fifteen units per month. Three complete units had been shipped overseas. No part of the Ordnance program shows more clearly the potential military strength America possesses in industrial genius and capacity, or more strikingly the need of a degree of industrial preparedness to mobilize that strength at the fighting front in due time. [73] t^e Story" gf Ordnance in the World War ing for any industrial plant. The difficulty and complexities involved in the manufacture of more than 1,200 of them, under the pressure of limited time and the manifold handicaps of the in- dustrial and transportation conditions then prevailing will be manifest. The 240-howitzer project actually got under way on September 1, 1917, when an order was placed with the Watertown Arsenal for 250 carriages complete with recoil mechanism, transport vehicles, tools and accessories. Although this only opened the program, an allotment of $17,500,000 was necessary to cover the estimated cost of the order. Despite the elaborate equipment of this arsenal at the time for the production of heavy gun carriages, it was neces- sary to build an entirely new erecting shop with a capacity equal to that of all the old buildings combined. The force of mechanics was increased from 1,200 to over 3,000 in several months. To obtain the extensive equipment of heavy machine tools re- quired it was necessary to comb the entire country; experts were sent out to locate and procure them wherever available. Great dif- ficulty and delay also developed in obtaining delivery of taps, dies and all necessary fixtures. Raw material deliveries always fell be- hind schedule, for even after they were produced and shipped there were endless transportation delays. But despite all obstacles, work on the original carriage order was pushed unremittingly and the pilot carriage of the project was de- livered in October, 1918. Some two months after this first carriage order was placed with the arsenal, the Standard Steel Car Company agreed to accept an order for 1044 carriages, complete with trans- port vehicles, limbers, etc., but without the recoil mechanism. Al- though as one of the most important freight and passenger car builders in the country this company possessed an extensive and well equipped plant, it was nevertheless necessary practically to double the capacity of its huge erecting shop by the construction of additional buildings and greatly to increase other plant facilities to make ready for the tremendous task undertaken. [74] We Story~ if Ordnance in the World War To expedite production sub-contracts for many of the smaller component parts were immediately placed by the Standard com- pany with more than 100 firms through the east and middle west. As many of these firms were already working on sub-contracts for the Watertown Arsenal carriage order, their utilization on the order with the Standard company meant better prices and closer standardization of parts. Subsequent placing of orders by these sub-contractors with manufacturers of raw and finished materials meant that the ramifications of this 240 carriage project soon had extended throughout the entire industrial fabric of the eastern and central states. This tremendous outlay obviously multiplied enormously the effect of delay and uncertainties in transportation, of fuel shortage and the other handicaps under which the project labored. Raw materials could in most instances be obtained only through allocation by the War Industries Board and the granting of priority orders on the manufacturers of these materials, who were over-loaded with other government orders of varying impor- tance. Notwithstanding all handicaps, however, work was forced ahead and the deliveries contemplated for 1919 were in sight when the armistice was signed. Construction of the 240 howitzer recuperators to match the car- riages to be turned out by the Standard Steel Car Company was undertaken by the Otis Elevator Company. To carry out a con- tract for 1,039 recuperators accepted on May 1, 1918, this company had to completely rebuild and equip a plant which it already owned in Chicago. Forgings for the recuperators were furnished by the Carnegie Steel Company which completed the rough-machining be- fore shipment to the Otis Elevator Company. The first recuperator was finished by the latter company early in November, 1918, a little more than six months after the order was placed. Another independent order for recuperators to keep pace with the carriage capacity to be developed by the Standard Steel Car Company was placed with the Watertown Arsenal in the summer of 1918. This order called for 250 recuperators in addition to those f75] &e Story gf Ordnance in the World War which the arsenal had already been called upon to deliver in its original carriage contract. Much new equipment had to be secured to take care of this order, but production was gotten under way rapidly. The arsenal furnished most of its own recuperator forg- ings but an additional supply came from the Carnegie Steel Com- pany. Recuperators actually completed at the arsenal numbered 16 by December 31, 1918, and 280 forgings were in process of ma- chining. With both the arsenal and the Otis Elevator Company thus rapidly coming into quantity production on recuperators there was no danger of the 1919 program for 240 howitzer deliveries being held up by a lack of this mechanism. The massive gun bodies for the 240 howitzer were placed in pro- duction at the Watervliet Arsenal, that is, they were ordered ma- chined and completed there. Orders for rough forgings to be shipped to the arsenal were distributed between five or six plants. From November 20, 1917, to November 7, 1918, a total of 1,160 gun bodies were ordered completed at Watervliet. Construction of an entirely new machining plant was necessary to carry out the work and allotments to the arsenal during the war for increasing its facilities totaled nearly $14,000,000. The arsenal undertook to de- velop a maximum capacity of 100 cannon a month and to deliver the last of the 1,160 not later than September 30, 1919. Gun bodies actually completed up to December 12, 1918, totalled 158, the pilot cannon having been delivered in August, 1918. Thus, by December, 1918, it is seen that production in all parts of the 240-millimeter howitzer had been placed squarely upon its feet and promised rapid increase in deliveries. Had the war con- tinued, by the spring of 1919, many of our overseas divisions would have been equipped with this splendid weapon produced wholly in American plants. It was planned to develop a capacity of 80 units a month in the early part of 1919. [76] ANTIAIRCRAFT GUNS. Before we mount into the larger size field guns, let us survey briefly our preparation in the line of antiaircraft guns, which also were of 7 5 -millimeter size. We had before 1916 developed a 3-inch antiaircraft unit for fixed emplacement at coast fortifications which is still today the most powerful antiaircraft weapon of its caliber. But we had given little or no attention to mobile artillery of this sort. To meet the necessity of early production when we entered the war, therefore, an improvised mobile unit was turned out. This consisted of a sim- ple structural steel design upon which was mounted one of the 75- millimeter guns already in production. Fifty of these carriages were manufactured and shipped to France and guns which the French were turning out for us were mounted upon them there. In mobility this unit, it was recognized from the beginning, left much to be desired. Its steel carriage design, therefore, was superseded by a truck mount, orders for which were placed in July, 1917. Upon this mount was placed our own 75-millimeter field gun, model of 1916. It was intended throughout, however, that this preliminary pro- gram should give way to the production of a specially designed antiaircraft unit with a powerful 3-inch gun. It was recognized that the 75-millimeter field guns which made up these original units did not have sufficient power. They were used because they were quickly available and because the French had pressed them into the same service. This improved 3-inch gun was just coming into production when the armistice was signed, orders for 612 having been placed in July, 1917. Had the war continued, our divisions would have been equipped with a splendid antiaircraft weapon. As it was, the antiaircraft material in use by our forces when hostilities ceased was all supplied by the French with the exception of about 68 of our first 75-millimeter units. [77] We Story gf Ordnance in the World War MOUNTING THE COAST AND NAVAL GUNS. In the 5 and 6-inch guns that could be spared from the Coast Artillery and the reserve store of the Navy there was shell power that might quickly be made available for the western front. When we entered the war the Ordnance Department at once set out to master the problem of placing these heavy fixed-emplacement pieces on mobile field mounts. An inventory showed that ninety-five 6-inch and twenty-eight 5-inch guns could be secured from the Coast Artillery and forty-six 6-inch guns from the Navy, while an additional 30 guns of the 6-inch size were offered by a private dealer in this country. Minor alterations were necessary in many of the guns to make them adaptable to field mounts, and the navy guns, ranging from 30 to 50 calibers in length, had to be cut down to a uniform length of 30 calibers. The long 6-inch seacoast guns were not shortened be- cause it was planned to return them to the coast defenses from which they were taken. Speed in the manufacture of the carriages for these guns de- manded that they be of the simplest design consistent with the great strength necessary to bear the weight of this fixed-emplace- ment material. The carriage design for the 5 and 6-inch naval guns having been placed under test and found to meet all requirements by September, 1917, orders were placed for ninety-two 6-inch car- riages and twenty-eight 5-inch. Owing to the great weight of the long 6-inch seacoast guns, however, it was found that it would be necessary to carry them separately on big transport wagons. Such a wagon was designed and an order placed for 55 in February, 1918. When the armistice was signed practically all of these mounts had been completed. Seventy-two entirely assembled 6-inch units and twenty-six 5-inch had been floated for overseas. RAILWAY ARTILLERY PROJECTS. Railway artillery forms another chapter in the history of our War-time Ordnance preparation. An inventory taken by the Ord- [78] *®e Story" gf Ordnance in the World War nance Department as soon as war was declared against Germany showed some 464 big guns available for mobilization on the west- ern front. These ranged in size from the 8-inch rifle to the single 16-inch experimental howitzer which the Ordnance Department had produced prior to 1917. In the number were included guns which could be spared from the coast defense as follows: ninety- six 8-inch, one hundred twenty-nine 10-inch, forty-nine 12-inch, and one hundred fifty 12-inch mortars. The Navy offered to turn over twelve of its 7-inch guns; and in addition six 12-inch, 50 calibre, rifles were commandeered from a private concern where they were under manufacture for the Chilean government. Here was an assortment of guns that offered splendid op- portunity for equipment in heavy artillery. The Ordnance De- partment determined that railway mounts offered the only means of providing the required mobility for this heavy fixed emplace- ment materiel and at once undertook the production of such mounts. The use of heavy railway artillery had been developed to a high degree during the war before our participation. It had come to be almost as varied in design as field artillery and each type of mount had certain distinct tactical uses. Guns, howitzers and mortars were all adapted to railway mounts. These mounts were of three general types, the first permitting a 360-degree gun traverse, or all-around fire, the second providing limited traverse, and the third providing no lateral movement for the gun, the traverse aim being secured by means of shifting the position of the railway car on a curved track, or epis. The railway mount with the 360 degree traverse was used for the 7- and 8-inch weapons and also the 12-inch mortars. This gun carriage revolves on an axis and turns the gun with it. The recoil in this mount is absorbed by a recoil system similar to that used with field guns. Mounts permitting a limited traverse movement of the accord type were used for guns and howitzers of great range. It is necessary to shift the car upon which this carriage is mounted [79] *®e Story gf Ordnance in the World War on a curved track, or epis, when wide traverse movement is required for aiming the gun. Only part of the recoil shock is absorbed in the recoil system of the carriage, much of it being transmitted to the gun car itself, which necessitates the car being bolted to the track and braced from the ground. In the third mount, known as the Schneider type, also used for the heaviest guns, the gun trun- nion and mount are fastened rigidly together. Thus with no traverse movement provided it is necessary to depend entirely upon movement of the car on a curved track to secure traverse aim. The carriage, of course, provides elevation for the gun. The entire re- coil in this type is absorbed by a retrograde movement of the car along the track, the heaviest guns driving the car twenty or thirty feet back after fire. The first railway mount project of the Ordnance Department was undertaken as a measure of defense against possible attempts by German submarines to raid our coast. The twelve 7-inch guns turned over by the navy were mounted for this purpose. A special pedestal mount was designed, giving the gun a 360-degree traverse. This gun was mounted on one of three standard types of railway artillery cars designed by the Ordnance Department for the 7- and 8-inch guns and the 12-inch mortars, the three types having the same general features. Taking the projects in the scale of gun sizes, for the 8-inch coast defense guns the first type of mount was adopted. Orders for 47 gun cars and mounts were placed with three concerns, two of which had materially to expand their shop facilities before begin- ning work. The prevalent condition of congested railroads and depleted raw material markets proved a serious handicap to getting production under way. But by June, 1918, the first eight-inch rail- way mount had passed a thoroughly satisfactory test at the Aber- deen Proving Ground. When the armistice was signed 18 com- plete units had been turned out and the contracting plants had developed a capacity of 15 mounts per month. Three complete units had been shipped overseas. These units included ammunition [80] Six of these huge 12-inch guns were under manu- facture in the United States for the Chilean gov- ernment when the United States entered the war. They were provided with sliding railway mounts, one of which is shown in this picture. The mount is an American design though an adapta- tion from the French. The first of these mounts was completed within eighty-five days after the order was placed and all of them were awaiting shipment to France when the armistice was signed. The mount has thirty-six car wheels and a length of 105 feet, so that the track can stand the tremendous strain when the gun is fired. The range of these guns is 25 miles, firing a 700-pound projectile. As an indication of the sound basis of claims made as to what Ordnance production would have been with the continuation of hos- tilities, work on mounts for these guns was con- tinued after the armistice and 45 were completed on April 7, 1919, whereas General Pershing had requested only 40 for the entire campaign of that year. [83] ^e Story" gf Ordnance in the World War cars, transportation cars, tools, spare parts and all necessary ap- purtenances. It was necessary to equip the gun cars of these units with narrow-gauge as well as standard-gauge trucks so they could operate on the narrow-gauge track used in the fighting zone in France. An eight-inch gun of longer range than the coast defense guns was subsequently designed with railway mount and an order placed for 25 for use abroad in 1920. When the armistice was signed this undertaking was abandoned. Railway mounts for the ten-inch coast guns were divided be- tween the Schneider and the Batignolles types. As a joint opera- tion with the French government, we undertook to place 36 of these weapons on Schneider mounts, the forging and rough ma- chining to be done in this country and the finishing in the French shops. Contracts for our part of the project were distributed among three plants. Gen. Pershing had called for the delivery of 36 sets of parts in France by March 2, 1919. When the armistice was signed 8 complete sets had been produced, and there is little doubt that had the war continued the 36 sets would have been delivered by the date specified. The Batignolles mount project for the ten-inch coast gun was placed with the Marion Steam Shovel Co., which undertook to pro- duce 18 of these mounts. Difficulty in translating the French draw- ings and in securing the necessary raw materials and machine equipment entailed serious delays in this project and the armistice was signed before any of the mounts were produced. The entire project was cancelled shortly after the armistice. The Marion Steam Shovel Company also undertook the manu- facture of Batignolles mounts for twelve of the 12-inch coast de- fense guns. This contract was given preference over the ten-inch mounts, and, although none of the twelve-inch mounts had been produced by November 11, work had progressed so far that the Ordnance Department ordered all 12 completed. The first was de- livered about April 1, 1919. [84] "&e Story gf Ordnance in the World War For the twelve-inch Chilean naval guns the Ordnance Depart- ment redesigned the Schneider mount to facilitate manufacture in this country, as our manufacturers had experienced endless trouble in producing the French designs because of their entire lack of con- formity to American shop practice. It was decided to build three mounts for these 6 twelve-inch guns, holding one gun in replace- ment reserve for each mount. Although the order for these mounts was not placed until the summer of 1918, all three had been completed and made ready for shipment to France by November, 1918, each with its entire equipment of supplies, spare parts, am- munition cars, etc. Of the 150 twelve-inch mortars which it was believed could be safely withdrawn from the coast defenses, contracts were let for the mounting of 96, General Pershing having asked that 40 be de- livered in France in time for the contemplated 1919 campaign. Provided with railway mounts, it was seen that these mortars would provide an excellent weapon for short, plunging fire. The project of mounting these weapons proved one of the larg- est of the entire artillery program. The Morgan Engineering Co., of Alliance, O., which undertook to build the cars and the barbette carriage mounts upon which the mortars were placed, had to erect a complete plant at a cost of $1,700,000 for the building alone. Specially designed machine tools necessary to carry out the work cost the government more than $1,800,000 additional. Although construction of the plant was not begun until December, 1917, it was entirely completed by June, 1918, and the pilot mount had suc- cessfully passed firing tests at Aberdeen by the end of August, an exceedingly noteworthy achievement in view of the weather con- ditions that prevailed that winter and the manifold industrial handi- caps encountered. Every structural part for all of the 91 mounts ordered had been completed when the armistice was signed. De- spite the relaxation which followed the Armistice the company had delivered 45 complete units by April 7, 1919, whereas Gen. Persh- ing had requested only 40 for the entire campaign of that year. [85] ^e Story* gf Ordnance in the World War These mortars as mounted were provided with a hydropneu- matic recuperator of far greater size than any that had hitherto been produced in this country, and this feature added immensely to the project. It was in May, 1918, that the Navy offered to turn over to the Army certain f ourteen-inch naval rifles then under construction and of which it was estimated 30 would be completed by March, 1919. For these guns it was planned to use the redesigned Schneider rail- way mount that had been adopted for the twelve-inch Chilean gunSo Accordingly, an order for 16 of these mounts was placed with the Baldwin Locomotive Works, specifying deliveries to begin by February 1, 1919, and to be completed by the following April. The signing of the armistice, however, led to the abandonment of the entire project. Five of these guns were mounted by the Navy itself on railway mounts of another design, to be manned by naval per- sonnel in France. The Baldwin Locomotive Works constructed 1 1 of these mounts for the Navy Ordnance Bureau and 6 of them were subsequently turned over to the Army. Finally, the Ordnance Department designed and built a railway mount for the huge sixteen-inch howitzer which had been bored and finished prior to 1917. The design for the mount was finished on February 10, 1918, and in order to complete the project in the shortest possible time it was placed with three manufacturers, who did a remarkably fast job in turning it out. Whereas all previous railway mounts for guns of this size had been designed to be braced from the track when the gun was set in position for firing, a great advantage was obtained by obviating the necessity for this in the sixteen-inch howitzer mount. No track preparation whatever was necessary to fire this weapon. The great firing load, estimated at 748,230 pounds, is safely transmitted to the trucks of the gun car through an intricate system of equalizer springs. The recoil action is absorbed chiefly by a hydraulic recoil cylinder with which the gun is equipped and the balance is taken up by a retrograde movement of the car on the track of 20 or 30 [86] We Story* if Ordnance in the World War feet. This unit was demonstrated by exhaustive tests to rank with the highest types of ordnance in use today. Orders for 61 ad- ditional 16-inch howitzers had been placed prior to the tests of the pilot mount but were cancelled when the armistice was signed. ARTILLERY AMMUNITION In April, 1917, there existed in the country less than 780 pieces of heavy artillery and little more than 1,000,000 rounds of ammuni- tion therefor. No piece heavier than the 6-inch gun had yet been made for mobile artillery troops. Some idea of the size of the project in hand may be had from the requirements table of July 1, 1918, which called for more than 153,- 135,000 rounds during the next 18 months, at a cost of between 3% and 4 billion dollars. The difficulties attendant upon such an undertaking were stupendous. To begin with, it was a new industry as far as the larger calibers were concerned, a type of experimental work ordi- narily requiring years to develop — which had required years for the Allies to develop — and calling for specially trained technical experts and a high type of mechanical labor. The few existing shops in the country, absorbing all the experienced labor in this line, were already occupied with materiel for the Allies and were therefore unavailable. The adoption of the French designs for the two most important pieces, the 75 and 155 millimeter, requested by the French and advisable for many reasons, necessitated a long delay in obtaining drawings and translating them to American standards, in modifying existing facilities and in learning foreign methods. At the outset, delay in appropriations proved a serious handicap in placing contracts and getting preparations under way. The shortage of raw material, the railway congestion, the desper- ate machine-tool situation, and the labor problem — all operated to render almost impossible a very difficult task. The Allies gloomly predicted that it would require years even to prepare for manufacture and that the possibility of getting [87] *@e Story" §f Ordnance in the World War quantity production under way before the end of the War was out of the question. In the face of this, Army Ordnance set to work and trained labor, constructed 53 great plants, designed several superior new types of ammunition, and at the time of the armistice was produc- ing it at a rate that amazed the experts of the Allied armies. Not knowing it could not be done, we went ahead and did it. There is not space here to go into the detailed story of each calibre. Briefly, the Field Artillery, consisting of 75 m/m gun and howitzer, 4.7-inch gun, 5- and 6-inch guns, 155 m/m gun and howitzer, 8-inch gun and the 240 m/m gun represent the mobile type on mounts and carriages. Of this group the 75 and 155 m/m are the most important. Ammunition for the 75 m/m comprises both Shrapnel and H. E. ' shell. Later a gas shell of this type was developed and more than half a million manufactured. As certain facilities for Shrapnel manufacture already existed, whereas the H. E. facilities had to be newly created, the former was considerably ahead in production, about 7Vi million of these being produced before the armistice as against a little more than 4 million of the H. E. shell. Compared with the vast requirements on this item, this is not a favorable showing, but it must be remembered that we were attempting to do in one year what Germany and France with regular military establishments and ample appropriations had required many years to do. The 155 m/m was an adaptation of the B model of the famous French Grand Puisson Filloux ammunition, a 95-pound shell with a range of 13,000 meters in the howitzer and 17,500 in the gun. One of the uses of this ammunition, with a special time-fuse, was as an agent against captive balloons. In December 1917, Army Ord- nance developed a new American 155 m/m shell which had no counterpart in French ammunition. In June, 1918, gas shell for both gun and Howitzer were developed and a little later, H. E. shell. The difficulties resulting from lack of tools, labor and load- [88] We Story* if Ordnance in the World War ing facilities limited the production of this shell to less than a million rounds. The 4.7-inch is of interest as being America's own development and practically the only shell used in the War, which we were in any way prepared to make. There were about 60 of these guns actually in service at the time of our declaration of War and a total of 165,237 rounds of shrapnel and 193,454 rounds of H, E. shell on hand. Frankford Arsenal, however, was the only manufacturer. By November 1918, five additional sources of supply with a daily production of 12,800 rounds had been developed and a total of nearly half a million shells produced. Further, gas and smoke shell in this caliber had been designed and put into production, and experimental work on incendiary, tracer, lachrymatory, and air- burst shell was well along toward completion. An intermediate class between the Field Artillery and the Sea- coast Artillery is composed of Howitzer ammunition, including the 8-inch, 9.2-inch and 240 m/m H. E. and gas shell and the 8-inch smoke shell. This is effective for use behind the third line trenches for destroying enemy encumbrances such as barbed wire, concrete emplacements, known among the Germans as "pill-boxes," am- munition dumps, railway and supply depots and lines of com- munication. It is shot at high angles and falls almost vertically in places that would be overshot by shell from the guns. The gas shell of this type is also far more effective than that of the smaller calibers, owing to its greater range and quantity. The 8-inch smoke shell serves the two-fold purpose of determining the aim of the H. E. shell and of forming a smoke screen to conceal prepara- tions of our troops for an attack or to cover a retreat. The 8-inch shell was the first of the American artillery ammunition to get on the line. The 240 m/m is a 353-pound projectile having a" range of 10 miles. The monthly rate of fire per gun calls for 900 rounds of the 8-inch, 600 rounds of 9.2-inch and 450 rounds of 240 m/m shell. The Seacoast Artillery ammunition includes H. E. shell for the [89] *®e Story gf Ordnance in the World War 5-, 6-, 8-, 10-, 12-, and 14-inch Seacoast guns, 12-inch for mortars, 16-inch for howitzers and gas and smoke shell for the 5-, 6- and 8- inch seacoast guns. This group of guns and Howitzers is com- posed of heavy Seacoast Artillery mounted on mobile vehicles such as railway mounts. It is used for attack upon heavy structures such as depots, storehouses, dumps, railways, batteries and on massed troops, the ammunition having been changed from the armor-piercing type originally employed with this artillery against armored battleships to H. E. shell of both the impact and the timed type. As the use of this as mobile artillery had never before been contemplated, the facilties in 1917 were practically negligible, with the exception of a few small shops in operation on British con- tracts. Enormous facilities were developed. The 14-inch is probably the most interesting of this group as indicative of the nature of high calibre ammunition. It is a 1,200- pound projectile carrying a powder-charge of 490 pounds of H. E. and having an extreme range of 26 miles. At the highest point in the arc it describes, this shell is 11 miles above the earth. Upon explosion, it digs a crater 30 feet in diameter and 25 feet in depth. It is fatal within a radius of 150 yards, death being caused by con- cussion alone, which is so great as to drive the eyeballs back in the sockets, crushing them against the bony structure of the brain and to produce hemorrhages at the ears, nose and mouth. Beyond the 150 yard area, the concussion may render the victim blind and in- sane without causing death. But like every frightful weapon of warfare, it gives its own warning. Its approach is heralded by an unearthly screaming which may be heard for 15 seconds before it strikes, so that there is a chance of diving into a shell-hole or dug- out, or, in the absence of such shelter, of falling flat on the ground where the concussion will not reach. The cost of a single one of these shells is $600. The 16-inch is used in bombarding heavy fortifications. Its [90] An 8-inch Seacoast gun on a barbette type rail- way mount which permits of fire in any direction. Ninety-six such guns were removed from the seacoast fortifications and mounted on these spe- cially designed railway mounts by Ordnance. Three plants were devoted to the manufacture of these mounts, two of them finding it necessary to enlarge their facilities and machine tool equip- ment to undertake the work. The first of these mounts was completed in May, 1918, and by the end of that year twenty-four complete units, with ammunition cars for standard guage track, shell cars for narrow gauge track, transportation cars, tools, spare parts, etc.. had been turned out. Three of the units were shipped overseas before the armistice was signed. The contracting plants had developed a capacity of 15 mounts per month. This rate of production is a more certain standard of measurement for American strength than production as of any given date. The problem was to continuously sustain the armies. [93] We Story" gf Ordnance in the World War projectile, with a weight double that of the 14-inch, has only about half the range. In conclusion then, we had done far better with the artillery ammunition than the Allied experts or the Germans had ever dreamed it possible that we might do, and facilities had reached a point of development which would have meant utter annihilation for Germany in the Spring of 1919, had the War continued. PROPELLANTS AND EXPLOSIVES. There is no chance for bluff with Ordnance materiel. It is made for men and issued to men who have no other insurance of victory, no other safeguard against death. The dependence placed upon it is too great to allow it to long enjoy a false reputation. When soldiers in battle express confidence in Ordnance materiel, they are backing their opinions with their lives and their judge- ments must weigh with the rest of us accordingly. When troops advance under an artillery barrage, a portion of the men are killed by the fire of their own artillery. This cannot be prevented. The protection given by the barrage against the enemy's fire far more than compensates this loss. In taking a few lives, the barrage saves many more. But the danger to their own men, causes commanding officers to exercise the greatest caution in the direction of an artillery barrage. Studying this problem, British General Headquarters issued an order that only American powder should be used in Britsh guns for artillery barrages, because of the greater uniformity and con- sequent less danger to the troops advancing under protection of the barrage. What higher tribute could be paid the quality of this product of American Ordnance. Mention is made of this testi- monial before beginning the story of propellants and explosives be- cause so many persons appear to think that the problem in the manufacture of powder and explosives is almost entirely one of quantity production and not of quality. The Allies, or rather their demands during three years of war, [94] We Story" gf Ordnance in the World War developed somewhat the manufacture of propellants and explosives in the United States before our entrance into the war. We have seen, in the case of small arms and in a few other instances, that this was of advantage to the Ordnance Department. But not so in the case of propellants and explosives. Rather did it add to the dif- ficulties of the situation. In April, 1917, American explosives man- ufacturers were crowded with orders from the Allies. They were producing greater quantities than they thought could be produced. Plants had been enlarged and new ones built. The technical ability of the operating organizations of explosives manufacturers had been spread very thinly over a much inflated war industry. Yet none of these manufacturing resources was available for the use of the United States Army. In the case of small arms, the Amer- ican manufacturers were just completing their European orders, with no new orders in sight, as we entered the war. But with ex- plosives, the needs of the Allies were continuing and were increas- ing, not diminishing. To prevent that which we were so often told the enemy hoped to achieve, namely the disruption of the Allies supply system by having the United States Army commandeer sources of supply in the United States vital to the Allies, it was necessary for the Ord- nance Department to go outside and provide new sources of supply. In all some 53 plants at an estimated cost of $360,000,000 were begun by the Ordnance Department to supply explosives. A large part of this construction was completed and was in a suprisingly efficient state of operation by November 11, 1918. The first task of the Ordnance Department was to increase the supply of raw materials entering into the manufacture of ex- plosives — sulphuric and nitric acid, phenol, caustic soda, and toluol, the basic raw material from which TNT is made. In the case of toluol, the Ordnance program required an expansion of production to 30,000,000 gallons per year by 1919. In 1914 production of toluol in the United States was under 700,000 gallons per year. To ac- complish this, contracts were made and gas stripping plants were [95] "ffie Story" gf Ordnance in the World War installed in the gas plants of cities extending from Boston to New Orleans and to Seattle, so that the gas burned by consumers in cities all over the country was made to yield its tax to Ordnance and to victory. Operating personnel had to be established and trained for these gas stripping plants. It was an undertaking of considerable size. The first plant was placed in operation in April, 1918, and by October, 1919, this improvised source of supply was developed to over 500,000 gallons of crude toluol a month. It would have reached 700,000 gallons in November, thus providing as much as the entire country produced in 1914. At a cost of $30,- 000,000, more than 1,100 by-product recovery coke ovens for the production of toluol were constructed which would have provided, in 1919, some half a million gallons of toluol, and 320 other ovens, of about equal capacity, would have been completed later in 1919 and early in 1920. Two plants for the manufacture of toluol by special processes were begun at Los Angeles and San Francisco. The latter plant, built for a capacity of 3,000,000 gallons a year was 90 per cent completed and was in part operation when the armistice was signed. Despite the demand for TNT, sufficient toluol was produced throughout the war to prevent failures or delays in de- livery of high explosives. The shell filler adopted for high explosive shells was amatol, a mixture of ammonium nitrate and TNT, a product developed in England during the war. In addition to the extension of private resources for the production of ammonium nitrate, the Ordnance Department undertook the construction of two atmospheric nitro- gen plants at Sheffield, Alabama, and a third plant, which was built by the Atlas Powder Co. as government contractors, for the pro- duction of ammonium nitrate by the Brunner-Mond process. Technical men were sent to England to study this process and con- struction of the third plant was started on March 8, 1918, at Perry- ville, Md. Fireproof construction was required throughout at this plant. Production of ammonium nitrate was begun by the mid- dle of July and before the armistice was signed production had [96] We Story" §f Ordnance in the World War reached 500,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate a day; five-sixths of the estimated total capacity of the plant. The character of the construction work required, the fact that the plant had to be specially designed by American engineers, and that the process of manufacture was new and involved highly technical work, make this achievement a truly remarkable accomplishment to the credit of American industry in the war. Although the British plant, based upon this process, was in operation before ground was broken for the building of the Perryville plant, the daily production of the American plant was in excess of the British plant when hostilities were ended. For the manufacture of TNT, the Hercules Powder Co. built and put into operation, within five months, a plant at Hercules, California, with a capacity of 3,500,000 lb. a month. Within the same length of time, the duPont Powder Co. built and put into operation at Barksdale, Wisconsin, a plant with a capacity of 2,000,000 lb. a month. These, with several smaller plants, kept the supply of TNT ahead of the war demands. Large quantities of other high explosives, fulminate of mer- cury, tetryl, nitro starch and ammonium picrate, were developed. Three plants were started for the supply of increased quantities of picric acid to the French. Demands of the Allies for propellants, smokless powder for cannon and small arms, black powder, etc., had increased produc- tion in the United States from 1,500,000 pounds per month, in 1914, to some 9,000,000 pounds per month at the time the United States entered the war. Yet the Ordnance program called for an addi- tional 75,000,000 pounds per month, none of which could be ob- tained from the sources of supply developed for the Allies. The Ordnance Department undertook the construction of two of the largest powder plants in the world. The largest of these was built on the site of Andrew Jackson's home near Nashville, Tenn., and is called the Old Hickory plant. It covered an area of 5,000 acres and its construction required, as an incidental item, the build- [97] *®e Story" if Ordnance in the World War ing of a village housing some 20,000 people, complete with schools, churches, and other civic improvements. Its estimated cost was $90,000,000. The contract for the construction of the plant was signed in January, 1918, ground was broken in March, and the first of its nine powder lines was placed in operation on July 1st, forty- five days ahead of contract requirements. At the time of the sign- ing of the armistice, this plant was 90 per cent completed and had reached a production of 400,000 pounds of smokeless powder per day, also in excess of contract requirements. The total estimated capacity of this plant was 900,000 pounds of smokeless powder per day, but had the performance registered prior to the signing of the armistice been continued, this would certainly have reached 1,000,- 000 pounds per day. The second powder plant was built by the Thompson-Starrett Company at Nitro, near Charleston, West Virginia. This plant was begun in February, 1918, and the production of powder begun about the middle of September. At the time of the signing of the armistice, its output was averaging 125,000 pounds a day. The plant was operated by the Hercules Powder Co. under government contract. The provision of explosives and propellants was sufficient to meet the demands of the Ordnance program at all times without interference in any way with the supplies sent to the Allies. Had the war continued, the American supply in 1919 would have amounted to over one billion pounds of smokeless powder, of which two-thirds would have been available for the American Expedition- ary Forces and the remainder for the Allies, and over one and a quarter billion pounds of high explosives of which three-fourths would have been available for the United States Army and the re- mainder for the Allies. FIRE CONTROL The equipment known as "Sights and Fire Control" comprises those instruments and devices used to control and direct the firing [98] ^e Story" sf Ordnance in the World War of all military offensive weapons and to observe the effect of this fire in order to place it on the target. Belonging to this equipment are all classes of sights, elevation quadrants, clinometers, etc., which are attached to the gun or its carriage and are used to lay the gun in direction and in elevation; also various instruments, such as range finders, azimuth instru- ments, aiming circles, prismatic compasses and many others, which are used by the gun crew for determining the range of the target and its position and relation to the combatant forces. Present day warfare, with the armies in trenches, has called for many new kinds of fire control instruments, for the reason that the target is usually not visible from the position occupied by the gun battery, and "indirect" fire is resorted to. This means that the ter- rain must be carefully mapped and that there must be provided an elaborate set of special instruments, including the intricate "Pan- oramic Sight," many of which are not needed when the target is vis- ible, as in the case of naval or coast defense warfare. This method of indirect fire has extended to all firing units, railway artillery, trench mortar batteries and even to machine guns, so that it is now necessary to equip each of the above with a complete set of indirect fire control equipment. This has meant a multiplicity of new instruments, none of which was in existence before the war. Another group of instruments, included in the fire control equipment, comprises devices such as range and deflection boards, deviation boards, range tables, wind indicators used as aids in the intricate problem of computing the flight of the projectile for any given conditions of range, altitude, air pressure, temperature, etc. Still another group contains devices used in estimating the alti- tude, speed and future location of hostile aircraft, so that effective offensive fire may be maintained. This class of equipment is en- tirely new, exceptionally intricate and ever changing in design. Fuse setters must be supplied to Field Artillery batteries so that the fuses may be timed to cause the shell to burst at the point in its flight, when the greatest effect may be produced. [99] ^e Story* gf Ordnance in the World War Many other auxiliary devices are called for, for example, light- ing arrangements, and self luminous aiming posts and marks, so that accuracy of fire may be maintained even at night. The increasing significance and now recognized importance of well placed shots, as compared with mere volume of fire, have de- manded that all the above mentioned sights and other instruments be marvels of accuracy and precision, and at the same time be able to withstand the concussion and shock incident to artillery fire. The accuracy required in some of these instruments will be ap- preciated when it is considered that at long ranges, such as are com- mon to-day, a very slight error in the sight will cause a miss and the total loss of the shot. Certain items of our present fire control equipment were in pro- duction in this country prior to April, 1917, but only in very small quantities. They were as a rule made in tool rooms by expert ma- chinists, who had plenty of time in which to do the work. The problem of manufacturing instruments in the quantities demanded by our artillery program in a short period of time was absolutely different. It meant quantity production, with shop machines and low grade labor, instead of single instruments in the tool room or instrument shop by the highest grade of labor. It meant working to an accuracy 1/10000 part of an inch on a heavy machine under rush orders, when the- workmen had been accustomed to hun- dredths or thousands of an inch, and then only on light work. The amount of labor involved is shown in the case of the Schneider Quadrant Sight, for some of the heavy artillery, where the raw ma- terial costs about $25.00, but the finished sight is worth $600.00. There were more than seven thousand of these to be made, which meant something like a year's work for one thousand men. In the case of those instruments which contained optical parts, the situation was even more difficult. Optical design was not understood by many men and optical workers were very few in number. At the begining of the war there was only one manu- facturer in this country prepared to make military optical instru- [100] One hundred thousand rough forgings for 9.2- inch shells. The artillery ammunition program called for more than 153,135,000 rounds to be pro- duced within eighteen months from July 1, 1918, for the production of which fifty-three great plants were built. To glimpse the characteristics of a single shell of this program — the 14-inch — its cost of manufacture was $600; weight 1,200 pounds ; powder charge 490 pounds of high explo- sive; extreme range twenty-six miles. At the highest point in the arc this shell describes in flight it is 11 miles above the earth. Upon explo- sion, it digs a crater 30 feet in diameter and 25 feet in depth, and is fatal within a radius of 150 yards, death being caused by concussion alone. Ordnance did far better with artillery ammuni- tion than the Allied experts, or the Germans, dreamed it possible to do, and the facilities had reached a point of development by November, 1918, which would have meant utter annihilation for Germany in the Spring of 1919. [103] Upper : The 3-ton Tank. The Ordnance program called for 23,390 tanks of various types. The Ford Company, following development of the design, had placed the manufacture of this 3-ton tank upon a quantity basis and was prepared to turn them out at the rate of 100 per day, begin- ning January 1, 1919. Only fifteen were actually completed when the armistice was signed, but 500 were in process of manufacture and would have been turned, out by January 1. This is a two- man tank, mounting one machine gun and with a speed of eight miles an hour. They would have been manufactured at the rate of 60 tanks weekly in American plants beginning in January, 1919. Lower : An interior view of the 35-ton tank, Mark VIII, carrying a crew of 11 men and mounting two six-pounders and seven machine guns. The picture gives an idea of the intricate design of the tank. About fifty per cent of the American portion of production on this 35-ton tank was completed by November, 1918. [105 We Story" §f Ordnance in the World War ments in quantity, and he was already overloaded with orders. It was therefore necessary to equip factories to show manufacturers how to train workmen in schools, such as those which have been established at Rochester, Philadelphia and Pasadena, before any satisfactory production could be secured. It was, of course, neces- sary to utilize the services of every available agency in the work, and the services also of agencies that, under the circumstances, would never have been considered as available. For example, a manufacturer of lighting apparatus for automobiles was developed into the chief source of supply for the complicated sight for a field gun; a concern whose regular product was thermometers before the war, was developed into a manufacturer of intricate sights. A further complication in the manufacture of military optical instruments was the lack of suitable glass. Before the war we had imported practically all of the optical glass used in this country, and it was necessary after we entered the war to develop formulas and processes for making optical glass, to set up manufacturing plants, and to produce the glass ourselves. Several different kinds of glass were needed and the production of these seriously delayed completion of certain instruments. Great progress was made, along this line, however, and apparently insuperable obstacles over- come, but the supply was never quite sufficient to meet the needs. The development work done will, however, render us independent of any foreign source of supply of optical glass in future. MOTOR EQUIPMENT It has been said, "An Army is as good as its transportation and it is not too much to say that its existence or the nation's existence in time of war is staked on the efficiency of its military transporta- tion. Particularly is this true in modern warfare which for the main part is made up of a series of movements consisting of tre- mendous artillery preparations followed by heavy infantry attacks. The limiting factor in this form of strategy invariably proves to be lack of facilities for following up the attack with adequate artil- lery and supplies, so that the extent of the advance is limited. [106] We Story gf Ordnance in the World War In previous wars, wheeled vehicles had been relied upon almost entirely, and from the viewpoint of speed, simplicity and reliability they are still satisfactory on good roads. But the warfare of the present calls for the manoeuvering of the Army on territory which renders this vehicle practically useless as a follow-up and it was soon seen that it was entirely inadequate except for use behind the lines on good roads. The tracklaying type, or caterpillar, was al- ready in use, but this was too slow for ordinary use, so that the need for a new development along this line was urgent. The combination of the tracklaying with the wheeled type was conceived as a solution to the problem, and the possibilities of this were foreseen to be enormous. Upon our entry into the War, we were faced with the problem of developing and manufacturing many items of motor equipment never before made in this country. In August, 1917, cables brought information of the need for motorizing our field guns, from the three-inch up to the eight-inch. In November the tank pro- gram arrived from overseas. November brought news of the neces- sity for the development of mobile repair shops, already conceived in our Mexican Punitive Expedition. In October the requirements were received for wheeled trucks and tractors for hauling loads on roads. The first difficulty presented in carrying out this enormous pro- gram which involved the designing, the building of facilities and securing of materials for, and the construction of, more than 120,000 motorized vehicles, was the procurement of a suitable personnel. A corps of automotive experts were needed as officers for this sec- tion, men of experience and creative ability along this line. Also, a vast number of skilled mechanics were needed as enlisted men to be trained in the operation and repair of this materiel. And these had to be selected without too heavy a drain upon the plants needed to manufacture it. The next problem was the securing of hundreds of manufac- turers. The materiel was of new types never before made in this [107] r We Story" gf Ordnance in the World War country and many of the automobile manufacturers were incapable of making it. The constant change of drawings necessitated by the difficulty of obtaining complete specifications, by the need for adapting them as much as possible to the facilities of the manufacturers to hasten production, and by the demands of changing tactics at the front of- fered another obstacle seriously delaying production. One of the most important limiting factors in the time element proved to be transportation. Inasmuch as many of the pieces con- sisted of several hundred items purchased from innumerable sources, the project became very complex and the transportation of both raw materials and components very serious. The value of the materiel ordered up to the signing of the armistice amounted to nearly half a billion dollars. It included 35,363 trucks of the Supply, Winch, Ammunition, Artillery Repair, Equipment, Light Repair, Machine Gun and Heavy Mobile Artil- lery types; 2,257 Staff Observation and Reconnaissance Cars; 4,747 trailers of the l^-ton, 3" field-gun, 3" anti-aircraft, 4- ton and 10-ton models; 24,973 tractors, including 2 1 /2-ton, 5-ton, 10-ton, 15-ton and 20-ton types; and 23,390 tanks of the 3-ton and 6-ton types to- gether with 416 caterpillar mounts. While the actual deliveries on Ordnance contracts up to the time of signing the armistice of 21,699 heavy, and in many cases special, motor vehicles was a remarkable accomplishment, the work was, nevertheless, just getting into its stride. Facilities had been built up, the tooling up had been completed, the personnel was trained, and quantity production was well established with the exception of those vehicles for which demands had been received at late dates. In these cases production was ready to start. For instance, the Ford company had just reached the point where pro- duction of 3-ton tanks was ready to go ahead, reaching a produc- tion of 100 a day January 1, 1919; and the 6-ton tank facilities, divided among three companies, were beginning to turn out tanks at the rate of 60 a week. The production had so far advanced that [108] W^ Story" gf Ordnance in the World War even the rigid cancellation of orders at the time of the armistice made it impossible, from an economical standpoint, to reduce the number of vehicles completed below 46,000, of which 21,699, as stated above, were actually delivered before the armistice was signed, and of which 37,081 were delivered before January 31, 1919. Had production continued until Spring, the American Ex- peditionary Forces would have had an array of motor equipment in France which would have rendered possible the most sweeping advance which could be made. The most interesting project of the entire motor equipment work is probably the Heavy Mobile Artillery Repair Shop. This comprises a vast organization of repair shops, tool-rooms, lathes, power generators, air-compressors, stock-rooms, drill-presses, bag- gage trailers, welding-and-forge outfits, power saws, milling-ma- chines, huge cranes, executive offices, rolling-kitchens, and all the other various accessories of the complete repair and tool-shop, — all on wheels on great five- and ten-ton trucks. Each repair shop is composed of two identical units of 24 trucks each. Each is self- contained, i. e., it carries its own personnel, consisting of 51 officers and men, its own power, sleeping accomodations and provisions, and is perfectly independent of the other half. The range of work done in these shops is amazing. Theoret- ically their scope is the repair of light and heavy artillery, small arms, carriages, mounts, and vehicles. Actually, everything from motor-trucks to victrolas, from bicycles to shower-baths, from roll- ing-kitchens to typewriters, from stone-crushers to broken eye- glasses is confidently brought to the shop for mending. Nine of these shops are required per Army, eight for the eight heavy artillery brigades and one for the tank corps. TRENCH WARFARE Under the group heading of Trench Warfare are included some 150 weapons and devices peculiar to warfare of position. The total amount of this materiel manufactured by the Ordnance Depart- [109] We Story" gf Ordnance in the World War ment during the War would fill 4,327 freight cars, and it should be remembered that for the most part it is compact and portable. The hand grenades alone, whose manufacture involves 265 operations, would require 1,156 freight cars. For the little parachutes used to suspend signal lights 1,688,000 yards of silk were required. The ammunition for the 3-inch and 6-inch trench mortars would occupy 981 freight cars. The chemical warfare apparatus manufactured and under manufacture at the time of the Armistice would have been adequate to project more poisonous gas than Germany and our Allies combined could produce. The hand grenade game began, of course, back in the 15th century when the Chinese filled pottery jugs with most unpleasant gases and threw them over walls at other Chinese. These primitive weapons went by the picturesque and expressive name of "Stink- pots." Early in the European War, the Allies began to revive this weapon in the form of crudely improvised devices, such as gasoline cans, but their possibilities were soon seen and developed to a high stage of perfection represented in our present 7 types of hand- grenades. These are known as the defensive, offensive (an Amer- ican invention), phosphorus, incendiary, thermit and two types of gas, each having its own particular use indicated by the name. A total of 34,800,000 was made prior to the cessation of hostil- ities, of which more than 27,000,000 were of the Defensive type, most of the other types having just passed the experimental stage and begun on quantity production. It was in the manufacture of this item that women played the greatest part in all munition manufacture. Of the 5,000 workers engaged on it, nearly 90 per cent were women, and at no time was there a strike or any labor disturbance. The rifle grenade, used both as an offensive and a defensive weapon, was adopted from the French "V.B." or Viven Bessiere. Its advantage lay in the range, which was approximately 200 yards, the effective range after the explosion being about 75 yards. Twenty million of these were produced. [110] We Story* §f Ordnance in the World War The Livens projector form of gas shell was developed to replace the old gas drum which had to be placed out in No-Man's-Land at night with considerable attendant risk, and which was entirely de- pendent upon wind conditions. The Livens projector shoots its shell directly at the enemy's trench over which it forms a thick smoke cloud of high concentration. Two kinds of gases are used, the famous lachrymatory, which is extremely painful and tempo- rarily blinds the victim, and the fatal gas, which may result in a trip to the hospital with a slow recovery. Special troops, known as Gas and Flame Troops, whose sole duty it is to conduct these attacks, make a tour of the trenches, staging attacks in favorable sectors, i. e. where the enemy is known to have concentrated its troops. The projectors which are placed in groups of five batteries of 25 projectors each, are fired sim- ultaneously by electric control. Seventy-five thousand gas shells and 62,900 barrels and base plates were completed by November 11, 1918. The use of drop bombs became very extensive as the air pro- gram increased. The high capacity drop bombs of which 453,286 had been produced, were of 5 types, weighing from 25 to 500 pounds, and were used chiefly for demolition purposes against strongly fortified^ positions, houses, railroad terminals and similar structures. The incendiary bombs, used for lighter structures and grain fields, objects requiring a more slowly burning type, were aban- doned after only about 58,000 had been completed for the Mark II or intensive type. Approximately 86,000 of these were made in this country. The only bomb employed against personnel was the fragmenta- tion bomb. Of this class, the Barlow heavy was the first type of all bombs to be made in this country, its manufacture having started in November 1917. But its mechanism proved too compli- cated and after the production of 9,000 it was abandoned for the Mark II A and II B and the modified 3-inch H. E. shell, which was [in] ^e Story" gf Ordnance in the World War found to be highly efficient when adjusted with the bomb mech- anism. About 30,000 of these in storage were modified and used accordingly. Approximately 194,000 dummy bombs, used for training pur- poses, were also made. For the early pyrotechnics program the capacity of the three largest fireworks manufacturers in the country, together with the Lewis Nixon works at New Brunswick, N. J., was sufficient, but with the new requirements schedules in June, 1918, tremendous ex- pansion became necessary. This was after the cable order to change to the French type of pyrotechnics had been received and work had been suspended until new drawings could be made ready. The new pyrotechnics program was very extensive, involving about 65 new types and styles. Production up to the time of the armistice was as follows: signal rockets, 450,000; position lights, Mk. I, 743,000; position lights, Mk II, 807,032; rifle lights, 55,000; signal lights, Mk. I, 110,000; V. B. cartridges, 500,000; signal lights, Mk. II, 2,551,000; smoke torches 110,000; wing tip flares, 80,165; airplane flares, 4,900. Signal pistols were made exclusively by the Remington Arms UMC. Of the 10-gauge, 20,164 has been made before the change to the French 25 m/m was made on August 5, 1918. Fifteen thou- sand of these had been completed by December and the 35 m/m was well under way. The 3-inch trench mortar was used chiefly against personnel by the infantry. It fired a shell of twelve pounds at the rate of from 35 to 40 per minute to a distance of 750 yards. The 4-inch mortar is used for the most part by special gas troops to gas the enemy front line and communicating trenches, as well as for a smoke barrage for starting fires and lowering the morale of the enemy troops by spreading molten iron on them. Its shell is a 24-pounder with a 1,000-yard range. The 6-inch mortar is a demolition agent and is extremely ef- fective against machine-gun nests, barb-wire entanglements, forti- [1121 Upper : Grenade throwers. There is a distinct form developed in grenade throwers quite differ- ent from that of the Big League pitcher, but this picture shows that the training officer has allowed the grenade thrower in the foreground to depend upon his trusty Southpaw, doubtless as he did in the Bush League back home. Lower : Types of hand grenades. 1, Defensive; 2, Offensive; 3, Gas; and 4, Phosphorus. The ancestor of the hand grenade is the Chinese stink pot of the 15th century. A total of 34,800,000 grenades were pro- duced in the nineteen months of the war. The grenade represents the chief contribution to the winning of the war of the women munition work- ers. Of the 5,000 persons engaged in grenade manufacture, ninety per cent were women, and at no time was there a strike or any labor disturb- ance, a record that is without parallel in the annals of Ordnance in the World War. fiisi ^e Story" gf Ordnance in the World War fications, etc. The shells, weighing 53 pounds, have been shot so fast that 5 from the same gun have been counted in the air at once. Its range is 1900 yards. The 240 m/m is also a demolition mortar. Its projectile of 150 pounds, hurled a distance of 2,400 yards, digs a crater 17 feet in diameter and 5% feet deep, in hard clay, upon explosion. The 11 -inch is a massive structure intended for heavier demoli- tion purposes of fortifications, etc. with a 194-pound projectile and a range of 4,500 yards. THE STORY OF THE U. S. RIFLE. It has been suggested that one of the difficulties under which the Ordnance Department labored was that Ordnance design and manufacture was so unfamiliar a realm to those civilians, upon whom reliance had to be placed to a great extent for the fulfillment of the task, that it was necessary to teach and improvise technique before a wheel could be started turning. Yet at the very outset of the Story of Ordnance in the Great War, is found a situation in which it was the familiarity of the layman with the problem of the Ordnance Department that proved a source of embarrassment. The story of the U. S. rifle is unique in this respect. Millions of Americans possessed some familiarity with a rifle. Thousands of them were ready with solutions of the problem of equipping our armies with them. When the Ordnance Department came out with its remedy, it had to withstand the most bitter criticism. In the production of the rifle the Ordnance Department took its stand upon the same ground that it did with regard to machine guns, artillery and all other weapons, namely, that the goal to reach was a rate of production of rifles adequate to continuously supply the armies to be put into the field, and to obtain the highest quality commensurate with this production. Prior to the war, the United States Army was manufacturing a rifle of excellent quality, the U. S. Rifle, Calibre .30, Model of 1903. This rifle was manu- factured at the Springfield Armory, Springfield, Mass., and at the [116] t^e Story" if Ordnance in the World War Rock Island Arsenal, Rock Island, 111. But it was realized that the highest rate of production that could possibly be attained in the manufacture of this, the Springfield rifle, at these two arsenals would be far too small to meet the requirements of the army which the United States proposed to put into the field. Outside sources of supply had to be provided. The Ordnance Department was criticised for failure to adopt this excellent Springfield rifle, but finally convinced its critics that the sources of supply for it were utterly inadequate. Then the Ordnance Department turned to those private plants which were engaged in the manufacture of rifles for our Allies. For these plants to have manufactured the Springfield, it would have been necessary to reequip them. That was out of the question. But the rifle which they were making for the Allies, was deemed unsatisfactory by the Ordnance Department. It was the British .303 rifle, chambered for a rim cartridge, liable to jam and misfire, a weapon which the British were about to discard just before the war and which they would have discarded, in favor of a rifle using a high powered rimless cartridge, had it not been that they lacked time to make any change at all. The Ordnance Department de- cided against the manufacture of the British .303 rifle. Again there was criticism, this time because the Ordnance Department was insisting upon quality, and, as its critics considered, sacrificing immediate quantity production. Perhaps it was a bold step that the Ordnance Department took; to decide upon a design of rifle to be produced in these private plants which would, and did, prevent a single rifle from being de- livered by them until August 18th, more than four months after our entrance into the war. But the Department was playing for two things, ultimate rate of production and adequate quality. It refused to rely upon the Springfield rifle because of limited quantity and rejected the .303 because of inferior quality. The responsibility of the Ordnance Department is twofold, to get enough weapons into the hands of soldiers on the battlefield and to get the sort of [117] We Story if Ordnance in the World War weapons upon which they can rely. A burst rifle barrel, a jam- med cartridge means the life of a soldier for which Ordnance is responsible. Line officers will tell you that they would rather have ten men killed by the enemy's fire than one man by the failure of his own weapons, because the latter disaster breaks the confidence of men in their weapons, is destructive of morale, and counts far more against you in battle than greater loss at the hands of the enemy. The Ordnance Department was simply following the policy of taking its criticism from the American public at the outset, instead of waiting to receive it from the American soldier when the battle was on. Consequently the Department's small arms expert, Brig- adier General John T. Thompson, simply endured his critics and played for final results. He insisted upon the manufacture of the U. S. Rifle Model of 1917, an adaptation of the .303, chambered to take a high powered rimless cartridge, with the barrel strength- ened, a changed bolt, ejector and stock and with relatively great interchangeability of parts. This produced a weapon particularly suited for the use of troops quickly converted from civilian life. The Springfield is possibly a better weapon for expert riflemen but in the opinion of a large number of the officers in charge of training the National Army of the United States, the U. S. Rifle, Model of 1917, could not have been surpassed for this purpose. Troops not experienced in rifle fire made records with it which astonished experts. In insisting upon these changes General Thompson not only gave the American soldier a better weapon than he would have received otherwise, but he actually ultimately in- creased the rate of production by insisting upon interchange- ability of parts. Thus where a man could assemble, at the utmost, 50 rifles of the British .303 design, the average as- sembled with the Model 1917 was 200 per day and the record as- sembly was 281. Moreover the three great plants engaged in the manufacture of these rifles found it possible to cooperate as never before, because if one of them lacked a certain part this could be [118] *®e Story* if Ordnance in the World War supplied from another plant. The interchangeability of parts aver- aged about 93 per cent. During all this time, the Ordnance Department was under con- stant criticism for its failure to supply rifles, any old sort of rifles. Stories of broomstick parades at the encampments were circulated. Congressional investigations were carried on. The final result was that by November 9, 1918, two days before the signing of the armistice with Germany, the Ordnance Department had accepted a total of 2,498,998 U. S. Rifles Model of 1917 and 1903. During that same period of nineteen months England produced 1,070,000 rifles and France 1,400,000. Yet both England and France had the ad- vantage of having been at the game for three years, whereas the United States "wasted" four good months getting ready before a single Model of 1917 Rifle was delivered. During July, August and September of 1918, the rate of production of rifles by England was 112,821 and of France 40,500, while the rate with the United States was 233,562. In the early part of November 1918, the rate of pro- duction of rifles in the United States was approximately 10,000 per day, more than enough to have taken care of the armies we pro- posed to put into the field and to have guarded against loss and wastage. In other words the rifle problem was successfully and completely solved. The grand total of rifles of the United States on hand at the time of the signing of the armistice was 3,575,356 or enough, on the basis of fifty per cent of man power being armed with rifles, to supply an army of 7,000,000 men, disregarding re- serve and maintenance rifles. Not only was this accomplished in the face of bitter criticism but while chaotic conditions were prevailing with regard to labor and raw materials. Yet the approximate cost to the United States government of the United States Rifle Model of 1917 was $25.99 as compared with approximately $42.00 paid by the British gov- ernment for the British-Enfield, calibre .303, from the same plants. The American rifle was an improved weapon at $17.00 less cost, which could be manufactured in larger quantities. [1191 We Story gf Ordnance in the World War While the larger part of the small arms program was devoted to the manufacture of the Model of 1917 in private plants, the record of Springfield Armory and Rock Island Arsenal with the produc- tion of the Springfield rifle (U. S. Model 1903) during the war was excellent. Tooled up for the production of 1,200 rifles per day in two shifts of ten hours each, Springfield actually reached a pro- duction of 1,500 rifles a day, and Rock Island Arsenal, tooled up to equip 625 rifles a day, produced in spare parts the equal of 1,100 rifles a day. It is a rare thing for actual production to climb above an estimate of capacity in this way. But the Ordnance Department did not end its responsibility with the production of rifles. It organized a corps of rifle experts to visit every cantonment in the country to explain the rifle to the men. In this way it obtained the very best and most intelligent use of its product. Also it watched, and corrected wherever pos- sible or necessary, every weakness and fault developed in the actual use of the weapon. As an instance, in five cases where barrels of rifles burst, a test of each of them was made and the facts in each case were given as wide publicity as could be obtained. Thus did Ordnance attempt to stand back of its product after it was placed in the hands of the soldier. To borrow a picture from Major Van Deventer : the Yanks go over the top, fifty per cent of them depending for life and victory upon their rifles. The weapons function properly. The cartridges do not jam. The barrels do not burst. The sights are easy to use for the accurate fire demanded of American soldiers. The parts can be replaced. Their high powered ammunition gives them range. The American soldier is thereby made what he is worth as a man, plus his value with the best of the tools of war in his hand. That is Ordnance. THE STORY OF THE MACHINE GUN. The destructive power of the machine gun and automatic rifle is not made evident in the firing of a single gun. It is when a long [120] We Story - * if Ordnance in the World War line of them burst forth that the strip of land before you is swept with lead as a sheet of flame sweeps a prairie. It was the multipli- cation, again and again, of the number of automatic rifles and ma- chine guns brought into action that gave these weapons their prominence in the Great War. Two distinct things were required of and accomplished by the Ordnance Department with respect to machine guns ; first, distinct new types designed for a tactical use theretofore not expected of automatic fire arms had to be and were developed; and, secondly, automatic weapons of all types had to be produced in quantities undreamed of before the war. The automatic rifle, a light weapon of fourteen pounds weight, carried forward and operated by one man, firing from the hip or shoulder in bursts of twenty or forty shots at the rate of 500 shots per minute, is distinctly a develop- ment of this war. The water-cooled gun (so-called heavy type) was developed to a serviceable stage prior to the time of the Span- ish-American war. It was greatly improved in design during the European war, but it was the vastly greater number of them em- ployed that was of more consequence than the improvement in de- sign. Machine guns were counted by the score at the outset of the war and by the tens of thousands at the end. This vast expansion in materiel necessitated a prior expansion in personnel, for the guns could not be produced until there were men to produce them. Prior to the war the development of ma- chine-gun experts had been proportionate to the importance at- tached to this weapon. The machine gun was almost an incidental item in Ordnance equipment, and the machine-gun expert was al- most an incidental, accidental appendage of the military establish- ment. For a specialized Ordnance personnel we find in 1916 Captain (later Colonel) Earl MacFarland as the sole Ordnance machine- gun expert in Washington. Nor were machine guns his specialty except in so far as his predilection and his surplus energy dictated. He was attached to the Gun Carriage Division of the Office of the [121] We Story sf Ordnance in the World War Chief of Ordnance and was charged with all inspection matters re- garding seacoast carriages and with several other heavy duties, of which machine-gun development was but one. In the field the ma- chine-gun problem was left to Captain (later Lt. Col.) J. S. Hatcher who, under the commanding officer of the Department of the Southwest, established in 1916 the first school for the instruction of line troops in the use and care of automatic weapons. So much for the prologue. To appreciate better the terrain over which the Ordnance Department progressed in the development and supply of machine guns until the day of the signing of the armistice, let us just here glimpse the final achievement. At the outset of the war Germany was credited with a stock of 50,000 machine guns and was the only belligerent nation to per- ceive the character of the role to be played by these weapons. Nor did Germany then place all the emphasis advisable upon her ma- chine-gun program. As a result of a careful study of the experiences of our allies in the war, it was decided at an early date that each of our divisions should be equipped with seven hundred sixty-eight automatic rifles and two hundred twenty-four machine guns. When this require- ment is compared with the pre-war allowances of about fifty ma- chine guns and no automatic rifles at all to an Infantry Division, and when it is remembered that at the beginning of the war this country had on hand only approximately thirteen hundred machine guns of all types, and these were not generally accepted as suitable for service in the war, some idea may be gained of the difficulty con- fronting the Ordnance Department relative to weapons of this type. As an indication of how well the Ordnance Department met its obligations in this regard, it should be noted that during the nineteen months we were in the war, sufficient automatic rifles were produced to equip over one hundred divisions at seven hundred sixty-eight guns each, or an army of approximately three million five hundred thousand men, and sufficient machine guns were pro- duced to provide an army of seven million men. In addition to [122] Upper: The Light Browning Automatic Rifle. Lower : The Heavy Browning Machine Gun mounted on tripod. The automatic rifle is a weapon of fourteen pounds weight which is car- ried forward in an infantry advance and operated by one man, firing from shoulder or hip in short bursts of fire. Such tactical use of an automatic weapon was a development of this war, perfected through the superior design of the Light Brown- ing. The heavy machine gun is a water- jacketed weapon capable of continuous stream fire. A Browning heavy has fired as many as 40,000 rounds without malfunction or jamming. During the nineteen months the United States engaged in war, enough automatic rifles were produced to equip an army of 3,500,000 men, and enough machine guns were produced to equip an army of over seven million men. These guns develop more power than does a racing automobile. [125] ^e Story* gf Ordnance in the World War these weapons which were provided for use on the ground, the Ordnance Department produced during the nineteen months of the war, seventy-one thousand one hundred twenty-five aircraft ma- chine guns. In all a total of eighty-one thousand automatic rifles and one hundred twenty-five thousand seven hundred fifty- two ma- chine guns of all types were produced. Quantity production, however, poorly measures the full extent of the achievement. Testimonials as to the quality of that produc- tion are available from officers of the American Expeditionary Forces, from machine-gun experts of the Allied Armies and, in- deed, from the enemy himself who swallowed the fire of our product. Back of this prodigious production, is the expert organization which Ordnance improvised and developed — the work of the Ord- nance Department. I know of no standard of measurement, no calculation that will permit the layman to sum up the human labor this accomplishment required. The work of the Ordnance person- nel is always, for the layman, the incalculable component of victory. But to return to the details of the task : The rifle and small arms manufacturing facilities of the country had been largely developed prior to our entry into the war, due to the fact that the Allied governments had placed large orders for rifles and ammunition with our manu- facturers. This condition of affairs did not exist in the case of machine guns and automatic rifles inasmuch as the Allies de- pended almost wholly upon their own resources for these weapons. Only two American plants were actually producing machine guns in quantity; the Savage Arms Corporation of Utica, N. Y., was nearing the completion of an order of 12,500 Lewis machine guns for the British and Canadian governments, and the Marlin-Rock- well Corporation had manufactured large numbers of the Colt ma- chine gun (old type) for the Russian government. On April 12, 1917, a week after the declaration of war, an order for 1,300 Lewis guns was placed with the Savage Arms Corporation and on June [126] *®e Story" gf Ordnance in the World War 2nd an order was placed for 2,500 Colt guns for training purposes. The stock on hand when war was declared consisted of 670 Benet- Mercie machine rifles, 285 Maxim machine guns, Model 1904, and 350 Lewis machine guns chambered to use the British calibre .303 ammunition. It is evident from these facts that manufacturing facilities were extremely limited and that to achieve the rate of production of machine guns and rifles required for the man-power program of the General Staff new plants had to be provided and tooled up, an operation that requires a long time. The policy of the Ordnance Department was to employ every available resource and to create new resources as quickly as pos- sible. Existent facilities for the manufacture of Lewis guns were fully employed and new facilities were sought for the manufacture of the Browning (heavy type) machine gun and the Browning automatic rifle which were not only proven to be excellent in de- sign but also comparatively easy to manufacture in quantity with standardization and interchangeability of parts. Surveys were made of the facilities of various plants for the manufacture of the Browning guns, the Government having com- pensated Colt's, owners of the Browning patents, and Mr. J. M. Browning, the inventor, for this right. In July, 1917, orders were placed with the Colt's Patent Fire Arms Manufacturing Company for ten thousand Browning machine guns and twelve thousand Browning automatic rifles; in September, 1917, orders were placed for fifteen thousand Browning machine guns with Remington Arms Union Metallic Cartridge Company of Bridgeport, Conn., for 5,000 Browning Aircraft guns with the Marlin-Rockwell Corporation, New Haven, Conn., and for 20,000 Browning automatic rifles, light type, with the Marlin-Rockwell Corporation. The Winchester Re- peating Arms Co., of New Haven, Conn., also began preliminary work on the manufacture of the Browning automatic rifle and a formal order for 25,000 of these rifles was placed with that com- pany in October. Facilities of the Mayo Radiator plant at New Haven, the New England Westinghouse Company's plant at [127] W? Story" gf Ordnance in the World War Springfield, Mass., and of the Hopkins and Allen plant at Norwich, Conn., were also pressed into service for the manufacture of Brown- ings as quickly as possible. Such was the progress made during the summer and early fall of 1917. To provide for the training of troops of the National Army then being called into service, the Ordnance Department ordered shipped to each National Army camp fifty Colt guns. This order was given within a month of the time that the first con- tingent of the National Army was called into service. Within another month the Colt guns were supplemented at each of these camps by twenty Lewis guns and 30 Chauchat automatic rifles of French manufacture. At about the same time, thirty Colt guns, thirty Chauchat rifles and from fifty to seventy Lewis guns were issued to the National Guard camps. Thus did Ordnance keep step with the demands for machine guns for training purposes. The first twelve divisions of the United States Army to embark for France were equipped with Hotchkiss Heavy machine guns and Chauchat automatic rifles, purchased from the French, upon their arrival in France. These divisions embarked prior to May, 1918. During May and June of 1918, Vickers guns were issued to the eleven divisions next to embark. Upon debarkation these divisions were equipped with Chauchat automatic rifles of French manu- facture. Subsequently all divisions were fully equipped with Brownings, machine guns and automatic rifles. Part of such equip- ment was issued to them in this country and the remainder upon debarkation in France. Browning guns, of both types, went into action against the enemy on September 13, 1918, in the hands of men of the 79th Division. The following extracts from the report of the Com- manding General of that Division to General Pershing, show the opinion of these guns held by the men who used them. "All of the 14 machine gun companies in the 79th Division but one were engaged at some time during the operation. Approx- imately 117,000 rounds of ammunition were fired. Practically no [128] We Story" gf Ordnance in the World War malfunctions occurred which caused the guns to go out of action. The guns operated under most serious adverse conditions of rain and mud. They met these conditions admirably. The following quoted reports of a Platoon commander will establish the satis- factory operation of the heavy Browning machine gun during this operation : " 'During the five days that my four guns were in action, they fired approximately 12,000 rounds of ammunition. They had very rough handling due to the fact that the infantry made constant halts, causing the guns to be placed in the mud. The condition of the ground on these five days was very muddy and considerable grit got into the working parts of the guns. Guns became rusty on the outside, due to the rain and wet weather, but in every instance, when the guns were called upon to fire, they fired perfectly. Dur- ing all this time I had only one stoppage, and this was due to a broken ejector. " 'The condition of the belts, in every instance, was muddy and wet. Belts that were shrunk were fed into the guns, making it very hard for the extractor to function. However there was not one instance where the gun failed to operate due to muddy and wet belts/ " "The rifle proved a good weapon but only partially satisfactory in this operation on account of the very adverse conditions of rain and weather. Many rifles became useless because of clogging with mud, and as the operation developed the men became so wet and their clothing and equipment so soaked that there were no dry rags toward the end of the fighting, and no oil with which to keep the mechanism of the rifle in proper condition. "On the whole, the Browning automatic rifle functioned well without jam or stoppage in spite of the fact that mud or dirt had ac- cumulated on the working parts. Some automatic rifles became useless with clogging of mud. This was easily corrected when they were cleaned and oiled." There is no "color" certainly in this report of the men who were [129] We Story* gf Ordnance in the World War depending upon these weapons for their lives. This was the first time the Browning guns were in action and the conditions were extremely severe. No one at all familiar with the use of automatic weapons will fail to appreciate the value of this testimonial, for malfunction and stoppage with these stream fire weapons is com- mon even under favorable conditions. Of machine guns and automatic rifles, the United States pro- duced during the nineteen months of her participation in the war a total of 206,752 as compared with 181,404 produced by England and 229,238 produced by France. England and France had been at war three years. During these nineteen months they were at maximum production. The United States, however, had to spend many of these precious months building factories and equipping others. A fairer basis of comparison is the rate of production for the months just prior to the signing of the armistice. The British rate of production was 10,947 guns, the French 12,122 and the American 27,270. Not only did America provide for her own needs, but had the war continued through the Spring of 1919, she would have provided large quantities of these guns for her allies. PISTOLS AND REVOLVERS The pistol presented one of the greatest problems in Small Arms production; possibly because of the very fact that at first it seemed the simplest. We had one of the best military pistols in the world, the outcome of the exhaustive tests of 1904 when a dozen models of varying calibers and types were tried out on both the human body and living flesh to determine their man-stopping power, the nature of the wounds inflicted and their general all- round efficiency. The development of the U. S. .45 was the result. It is interesting to note that in those trials, the two models of the famous German Luger proved the least destructive, which may ac- count for the facts that the Germans with their 26 types of pistols ranging from .22 to .45 in caliber and including the infamous "murder" and "camerad" pistols, were reported to turn tail quicker [130] We Story" §f Ordnance in the World War before the Yankee pistol than any other weapon, that the American pistol shooters were feared no less than the mysterious "Ladies from Hell," and that military surgeons reported that pistol wounds were rare among the Allied troops. The Colts Patent Fire Arms Company was tooled up for a large production of this weapon and it was believed by both the plant and Ordnance Department officials that they would be able to take care of the entire program. That this prediction later proved erroneous is not surprising, nor can blame be laid on either the company or the Ordnance Department. With no precedent, neither could foresee and count on the magnitude of the labor situa- tion about to confront the country, the scarcity of steel, the tremendous increase in requirements in the Spring of 1918, the crippling lack of expert tool-makers, the railway congestion, and the score of other limiting factors which played so great a part in the pistol program. When it became apparent in December 1917 that the Colt plant could not possibly meet requirements, contracts were placed with the Remington Arms and that company immediately started to create facilities. But tooling up a plant for quantity production is no sinecure. A minimum of four months is required before a pistol can be started ; two more are necessary for any production ; securing that most elusive of all artisans, the expert tool-maker, has proved far more elusive than gunning for the Hun ; the necessity for mak- ing new drawings and effecting absolute inter changeability in the product of the two plants; the nicety of pistol manufacture itself, representing 619 separate operations with exceedingly close toler- ances; the securing of the necessary eight grades of material and the building of the 1,264 machines for the Remington plant, pre- sented a problem which made the opening production in August 1918 an unusually quick piece of work. By that time the situation had become very serious and con- tracts to the extent of 2,550,000 pistols were placed with eight com- mercial firms such as the Burroughs Adding Machine Company, [131] *®e Story* gf Ordnance in the World War the Lanston Monotype Company and other firms whose peace- time products required machinery which might be converted to manufacture pistols. None of these, however, got into production up to the time of the Armistice. At that time, cumulative production totaled approximately 450,000. The practically negligible production of 1917 had been built up to 65,000 monthly, and had the War continued until the new contracts were under way, the Spring of 1919 would have seen a monthly output of 650,000 pistols. That pistol production could not at once meet the tremendous immediate requirements was inevitable and it was decided to use the caliber .45 revolver as a substitute until such time as pistol production should justify its abandonment. The revolver in question had several drawbacks; it was two inches longer than the pistol, harder to manipulate, capable of only about 1/3 the speed in shooting and it contained only 6 instead of 7 cartridges. On the other hand, it was capable of using the same ammunition as the pistol ; there were two plants, Colts and Smith & Wesson, sufficiently tooled up to begin almost immediate pro- duction, and it was the best available substitute. Its production started in October, 1917, and remained through- out the summer of 1918 at a fairly even average of 25,000 monthly, no attempt at increase being made, as this would have entailed a corresponding decrease in pistol production. Only about 268,000 were produced to November 11, 1918, the October production having reached 33,400, a daily output of 1,200, double that of January, 1918. SMALL ARMS AMMUNITION The story of cartridge production during the War is one of the most spectacular in the history of industry. Early in 1917, existing facilities could not produce more than a small fraction of require- ments. Frankford Arsenal, the chief source of manufacture, had a [132] The best military pistol in the world, the U. S. 45. During the trials when this pistol was made the standard of the United States Army, the two models of the famous German Luger proved the least destructive, which may account for the fact that the Germans, with their 26 types of pistols and including the famous "murder" and "camerad" pistols, were reported to turn tail before the Yankee pistol quicker than before any other weapon. At the time of the armistice the United States was producing more small arms ammunition of the service type than France and England combined. A single plant, the Reming- ton Arms U M C Company, was turning out 6,000,000 rounds daily, double the quantity of the largest order they had ever received prior to the war. This plant's first year's output of 1,000,- 000,000 rounds equaled 35 years of peace-time manufacture. ri35i Fig. 1 : What the public sees of our product. Fig. 2: What that product really is. An exterior and a cross-section view of the head of a seventy-five millimeter shell. The shell is composed of seventy-three component parts made with all the precision and delicacy of a watch. The layman, observing an ammunition dump with these shells stacked in thousands, has no appreciation of the difficulties of design and manufacture encountered in the production of the first type shell and until quantity production is achieved. This in- tricacy of design is what makes possible the timing of the explosion and the perfect control of the force of the shell. A particular shell is developed for each tactical requirement; shrapnel, high explosive or gas. Shrapnel would be em- ployed against personnel, high explosive for demolition purposes, and gas to break down the morale of an enemy force preparatory to an ad- vance. [137] W? Story" gf Ordnance in the World War capacity of 100,000,000 yearly. Requirements called for 2,756,- 608,000 to July 1, 1918. The difficulties attendant upon the production of the cal. 30 ser- vice cartridge were numerous. Heretofore, our service ammuni- tion had been used in one type of rifle and two machine guns. Ow- ing to the impossibility of having the complication resulting from a variety of small arms ammunition, it now became necessary to de- velop a cartridge which would function satisfactorily in two rifles and seven machine guns, each having firing-pins of differing shapes, sizes and methods of functioning, and each giving a different pres- sure on the primer. To develop a cartridge adapted to the eccentricities of any one of these guns would have been a compar- atively simple matter, although the logical method is to fit the gun to the cartridge. To develop one suited to all nine, one which was adapted equally well to service on land and in the air, which must therefore be absolutely free from jamming and hang-fire and which could be produced in billions by a dozen different manu- facturers was a task challenging the keenest faculties of ammuni- tion experts. To devise a perfect cartridge for peace-time manu- facture is one thing ; to develop one which can be made at the rate of 1 1,000,000 per day is another. The cartridge itself is one of the most difficult in the word to make, many of its tolerances being less than a thousandth of an inch. There are 88 operations aside from gauging and inspection on each cartridge. Early in the fall of 1917, a conference of all the small arms ammunition manufacturers in the country was called to devise a means of creating new facilities and to discuss standardization. The problem of facilities was settled by an agreement on the part of the manufacturers to expand as much as possible, thus provid- ing for an extra billion rounds per year. Existing facilities, how- ever, which were for the cal. 303 British cartridge of the rimmed type, had to be modified to produce the U. S. ammunition, which was very different. This required six months before quantity pro- [138] ^e Story" sf Ordnance in the World War duction could start. The brass and cupro-nickel shortage, the transportation congestion, the labor difficulties naturally resultant from high competition, lack of wage standardization, and the lack of a type of labor for which the peace-time demand is practically negligible — all operated to delay manufacture. Forty thousand guage makers were needed at once. There were 4,000 in the nation. The Allies- claimed it would take two years to train our tool-makers; we did it in two months. Jig- makers, guage-makers, inspectors, skilled mechanics of every type, had to be procured and trained almost overnight. And the result was that at the time of the Armistice we were producing more ammunition of the service type alone than France and England combined. A single plant, the Remington Arms UMC Co., was turning out 6,000,000 rounds daily, double the quantity of the largest order they had ever received prior to the War. This plant's first year's output of 1,000,000,000 rounds equalled 35 years of peace-time manufacture. The material con- sumed daily at this plant for its cartridge production included 179 tons of brass, more than 19 tons of powder, 42*/2 tons of lead and 21 tons of cupro-nickel ! A total of 2,586,000,000 rounds of the Service M-1906 ammuni- tion was produced up to the signing of the Armistice. Then there was the special ammunition. Armor-piercing car- tridges, whose function it was to penetrate armored trucks, tanks and planes, against which service ammunition was ineffectual, were developed and produced to the extent of nearly 5,000,000 rounds. Incendiary cartridges to inflame the gases or oil escaping from the holes thus made were sent after the armor-piercing bullets from aircraft machine guns shooting at the rate of from 500 to 1,200 rounds per minute. More than 14,000,000 of these were pro- duced. About 25,000,000 tracer cartridges were manufactured. These blaze a fire trail to show the trajectory or path of flight of the other cartridges and thus serve as a guide to the aim. [139] We Story" gf Ordnance in the World War More than 323.000,000 pistol ball cartridges, caliber .45, were made. In short, nearly 3% billion rounds of ammunition were made by American manufacturers between April, 1917, and November, 1918! NITRATES As S. Nauchoff has pointed out, the saying of Liebig, "No phosphorous, no mind" might well be parodied with "No nitrogen, no war." Practically all military explosives, whether used as pro- pellants or bursting charges, are wholly dependent upon it and in this war more than in any other, explosives have played the lead- ing role. Approximately two pounds of sodium nitrate are required for each pound of explosive. Prior to our entry into the war, our chief source of supply lay in the saltpeter beds of Chile, the yearly import amounting to about 600,000 tons, of which fifty per cent was used in the manu- facture of explosives and an additional twenty-five per cent in the making of nitric acid. With the multifold requirements for ex- plosives in 1917, the supply was inadequate, even without tak- ing into consideration the shortage in world tonnage and the sub- marine menace. Import from Chile was not to be relied upon. As far back as 1915, the seriousness of the situation was evident and the Chief of Ordnance said in his annual report of that year: "I do not know of any article of this class which at the present time should cause more concern with reference to the war-time supply than nitric acid." Germany had prepared for it some years before her declaration of war with cold-blooded calculation and had de- veloped the Haber process to such an extent as to be wholly inde- pendent of the Chilean sources when England closed the seas. In 1916, an appropriation of $20,000,000 was made for experi- ments and investigation as to the best and most economical pro- cesses and for the construction of an experimental plant. At the time of our entry into the War, no definite program had yet been approved, but activities became enormously increased. Ordinarily, this industry is one requiring years for development [140] ^e Story" gf Ordnance in the World War and the problem facing the Ordnance Department was a serious one. Five processes aside from the coke-oven method were in ex- istence ; the Arc ; the Nitride ; the Cyanide ; the Synthetic Ammonia, an improvement on the German Haber system, and the Cyanamid. The first two were impracticable and were never employed. A plant at Saltville, Va., to produce ten tons daily by the sodium Cyanide process was constructed in the fall of 1917 and was practically completed at the time of the armistice. Of the large government plants, Plant No. 1 used the Synthetic Ammonia process. It was situated at Sheffield, a small town in the northwestern part of Alabama on the Tennessee River. Its capacity was 60,000 pounds of ammonia daily. In order to supplement the capacity available at Plant No. 1, and to insure the production of nitrates in proportion to the ever increasing demand, Plant No. 2, with a capacity of 110,000 tons per year, was started in December, 1918, near the famous Mussel Shoals of the river. On January 1, 1918, there existed a few preliminary free-hand sketches of the design of the plant; none of the equip- ment of the powerhouse had yet been purchased. On November 25th, less than eleven months later, a vast plant was manu- facturing ammonium nitrate in a town with housing facilities, lighting, sewers, paved streets, water supply, sanitation, hospitals, dispensaries, a corps of physicians, dentists and nurses, stores, churches, schools and recreation centers for more than 20,000 em- ployes. And this is but one of many similar projects entailing an incomprehensible amount of work before even the first step in the actual work in hand can be started. The construction of two more Army plants, in addition to the Navy Plant at Indian Head, Md., was necessitated by the alarming submarine interference and the low quantity of Chilean nitrates on hand during the winter of 1917-1918. One of these was situated at Toledo, Ohio, and the other at Ancor, Ohio, near Cincinnati. Their production was to be equal to that of Plant No. 2. Both of these were well under way at the time of the signing of the Armistice. [141] Ordnance "Over There 99 The Story of Ordnance With the A. E. F. as Published in the Stars and Stripes, Official Organ of the A. E. F. Out of the babel of tongues heard on the battlefields of the late war there was a language known and respecte'd of all men, a lan- guage that needed no interpreter, a language in which friend and enemy alike held parley day and night across No Man's Land — the language of the guns. History will record that it was in this language that America gave her answer to the Imperial German Government — gave it in the form of 175,000 tons of hot steel and high explosives and one billion rounds of small arms amunition. And there was never such a talking machine as the American Army. "We shot away stuff so fast that our Allies thought we were crazy," says a report of last month's campaign. "The fight- ing energy of our troops at the front," says another military leader, "upset every calculation." It fell to the Ordnance Department of the A. E. F. to keep this machine going. This meant the procurement, storage, distribu- tion, maintenance and repair of 32,000 different classes of articles ranging all the way from the great lumbering caterpillar tank to the well-known mess-kit, and including all offensive and defensive arms and ammunition, from the great guns and howitzers, hurling shells of nearly a ton in weight, down to the small but deadly trench or knuckle knife. It called for not only machine guns, automatic rifles and small arms, but tanks, tractors, trailers and mobile repair shops. New [142] Tgie Story gf Ordnance in the World War conditions of warfare added a considerable list of unfamiliar Ordnance devices, such as drop bombs, incendiary darts, grenades and pyrotechnics. To sum up best the achievements of the Ordnance Department is to say that it has met the demands thus made upon it, though they were multiplied by hugely increased schedules of troops sail- ing to France, by greatly accelerated programs of military of- fensives, and by expenditures of ammunition by the American forces enormously exceeding the estimates based upon French and British experience. From the beginning the policy of the Department was based on large and liberal lines. "There are troops in France and we must give them what they want. If they ask for elephants, give them elephants," was the dictum passed along, and it was faithfully adhered to. On November 11th, 1918, the Ordnance Department had actually placed on the American lines 3,500 cannon of all calibres, which, during periods of great artillery activity, were actually handing Jerry 6,000 tons of hot steel every 24 hours. These guns took 7,000,000 shots at the enemy. There were also on that day 2,000 trench mortars helping to make things miserable for the retreating enemy and 2,000,000 hand grenades ready to throw. And more than 100,000 machine guns and automatic rifles re-enforced the fire of the million service rifles, the doughboys were peppering the Boche with on that eventful day. Nor was this all. There was more and a plenty where this came from. Cleverly tucked away and camouflaged from front lines back to base ports there were waiting more than 4,500,000 rounds of shrapnel and high explosive shells and 640,000,000 rounds of small arms and machine gun ammunition. And perhaps the German high command thought it impossible for the Americans to bring up artillery, keeping pace with the rapidly advancing doughboys. The Ordnance Department pro- [143] We Story* gf Ordnance in the World War vided means to overcome all such obstacles as shell-torn roads and crater-filled fields by hooking tractors to the guns and hauling them to places where horses could not have gone except perhaps by long, tedious days and nights of effort. Seven thousand Ord- nance tractors and artillery repair and supply trucks were put into action and rendered invaluable service. By motorizing the wicked 75's and the 155-mm. howitzers, our artillery was able to give effective assistance to the driving In- fantry at all times. The 14-inch naval guns, railroaded into posi- tions of great strategic value, especially during the St. Mihiel and Argonne drives, threw the enemy's lines into confusion and con- sternation for miles behind his retreating columns. Although the doughboys wittily complained that "all these guns did was to stir up trouble and then run away," with all the facts now in hand it is clear that all these guns played a tremendous part in hastening the enemy retreat, disordering his communications and destroying his morale. The armored tank was perhaps one of the greatest triumphs of the war, and our Ordnance Department put 300 of these in the big offensives. Ordnance experts regard as the outstanding accomplishments of this department of the A. E. F. the motorization of our artillery, the system of mobile repair shops maintained with the armies, and the arming of all airplanes for American squadrons. The importance of keeping the guns at the front in first-class fighting trim can readily be realized. The motorized shops for that purpose that kept in the wake of the armies and rendered first aid to all artillery and arms were a distinctive American contribu- tion to the war. There were at the time of the armistice a number of these heavy mobile repair shop organizations and 25 mobile ord- nance repair shops operating with the armies. They could doctor up any kind of a gun and get it back in commission unless it needed major repairs. The 2nd Mobile Ordnance Repair Shop on the Soissons front [144] To send this gun back to the firing line was a part of the job of Ordnance with the A. E. F. To make repairs to guns and Ordnance equipment at organization and training centers or instruc- tion camps, more than twenty-five repair shops were equipped and maintained in the S. O. S. The greatest of these, at Mehun, was itself de- signed to handle repairs to all artillery and Ord- nance equipment for an Army of 2,000,000 men. It covered 50 acres of ground, was manned by 6,000 technically trained soldiers, and could re- make anything from a tank or a piece of heavy artillery to a mess-kit. It was designed for a capacity of relining 1,245 guns, repairing 2,000 Ordnance gun vehicles and 3,000 Ordnance motor vehicles and overhauling 150,000 rifles, 5,000 pis- tols and 20,000 machine guns a month. [147] *®e Story* gf Ordnance in the World War put into action against the retreating Germans 28 pieces of their own artillery, ranging from 77-mm. to 210-mm. guns. The Mobile Ordnance Repair Shop attached to the 35th Division established the record of having no piece of artillery out of action over five minutes during the Argonne drive. These repair shops took care of all Ordnance materiel, and many other things besides, such as water carts, rolling kitchens, bicycles, typewriters, shower baths, watches, meat grinders, steam rollers, stone crushers, trench pumps, captured German baths and delous- ing plants. They also assisted in the salvage of Ordnance equip- ment. It is said that some chronicler of Ordnance activities, seeking local color, was invited to visit one of these mobile repair shops at work. As he arrived a hugh motor truck, which had been brought in helpless, was snorting away, restored to full vigor. A Y. M. C. A. secretary was waiting with a Victrola to be fixed. In a few minutes it went away singing. Then a heavy tractor lum- bered in, towing a great 155-mm. G. P. F. gun which had been put out of action. It was repaired and returned to the lines. As it went away a general's car drove up and the general him- self got out. "Captain," he said, "I have lost a little screw out of my eyeglass and I am helpless without them. Is there any way you can fix them?" There was. "That will do," said the historian, clos- ing his note book, "I have local color enough for one day." Some of the notable work of the Ordnance Department was done in arming planes for the American front. The aircraft arma- ment shops were at Orly and Romarantin, the two airplane as- sembly plants of the A. E. F. The adaptation of American arma- ment to European planes was a knotty problem consummately handled. The Vickers, Lewis, and Marlin machine guns with which our planes were armed proved highly satisfactory in combat. The supply of aircraft armament, ammunition and drop bombs at all times met the demand, and, to quote the verdict of experts, was of "proven efficiency against the enemy." [148] *®e Story" gf Ordnance in the World War Not only had our Ordnance Department at the time of the armistice matched the armored seat provided by Germany for the protection of her aviators, but steps had been taken to put on the front an invincible armada of all-armored planes. None of these ironclads of the air had actually taken the field, but the project had long passed the experimental stage. The Ordnance Department, indeed, before the war ended, had equipped the forces at the front with veritable flying fortresses, fitted with eight guns instead of two or four. Four of these guns projected through the floor of the plane, two fore and two aft. Another contribution of our Ordnance to airplane warfare was a parachute dropping device, with a 14-foot spread, for dropping food, supplies and ammunition to troops in the trenches. This de- vice was completely successful and was actually employed on a large scale. The Ordnance Department had well in hand the production of a standard American parachute for the use of aviators in jumping from their planes, but none was ever used by us at the front. The Germans actually used the parachutes successfully during the last few weeks of the war. There should also be mentioned the American bomb dropper, furnished our planes, by which our aviators could take any kind of an Allied bomb on their bombing expeditions. The American Wimpers and the Franco- American Michelim bomb site proved 100 per cent efficient in guiding bombs to their objective. In addition to its achievements in the field another great prob- lem that confronted the Ordnance Department of the A. E. F. was storage and heavy repair in the S. O. S. The base section of the A. E. F. was the great reservoir of Ord- nance materiel and facilities into which the initial Ordnance sup- plies were poured. The intermediate section was the regulating mechanism taking up fluctuations of supply and demand. The ad- vance section was the sensitive system in direct touch with the Army and responsive to its needs from day to day. For the pur- [149] W? Story" if Ordnance in the World War pose of maintenance and reserves, it was planned to keep 45 days' supply in the base section, 30 days' in the intermediate and 15 days' supply in the advance section. This idea was never fully realized, but it was well approached in the summer of 1918. To effect the distribution of Ordnance materiel, it was necessary to stretch multiple chains of general and ammunition storage depots across France from the base ports to the front lines. Thus, for example, at the coast were the great general storage depots of St. Sulpice and Montoir ; in the intermediate area, Gievres with its acres of buildings; in the advance zone, Is-sur-Tille, which long bore the brunt of the supply service — all of them handling hun- dreds of cars a day. The ammunition storage projects alone of the A. E. F. covered enough of France to make a good sized county in New England. The depot at St. Loubes was two miles long and nearly two miles wide. The ammunition storage project at Donges extended along two sides of a triangle for nearly four miles. Foecy deserves a place on the map of the A. E. F. ; here thousands of tons of French, British and American ammunition were received and stored, re- classified and sent to the front. As many as 1,500 ten-ton cars of guns and ammunition were sent out from this center in a day, the storage project employing 1,000 men. Jonchory, with its spider-web system of tracks and its warehouses cleverly hidden and naturally camouflaged by the trees, housed tens of thousands of tons of shells, grenades and bombs, and during active offensives handled 300 cars a day in and out. To make repairs to guns and Ordnance equipment at organiza- tion and training centers or instruction camps, more than 25 repair shops were equipped and maintained in the S. O. S. The greatest of these, at Mehun, was itself so designed as to handle repairs to all artillery and Ordnance equipment for an army of 2,000,000 men. It covered 50 acres of ground, was manned by 6,000 technically trained soldiers, and could remake anything from a tank or a piece of heavy artillery to a mess-kit. It was designed for a capacity of [150] We Story if Ordnance in the World War relining 1,245 guns, repairing 2,000 Ordnance gun vehicles and 3,000 Ordnance motor vehicles and overhauling 150,000 rifles, 5,000 pistols and 20,000 machine guns per month. Whether in depot, shop or ammunition dump, the work of the Ordnance Department required individual fitness and special train- ing. To supply the latter, the department organized and operated six great schools — St. Aignan, lor office work and care of Ordnance equipment; Foecy, Jouchery and Bourges, for ammunition; Is-sur Tille, for artillery, small arms and Ordnance supply and shop work, and St. Jean de Monts, for the aerial armament training which con- tributed to the brilliant results already spoken of. The alumni of these schools numbered some 5,000 to which the graduates of many smaller centers of instruction added a considerable number. The work of the Ordnance Department in the A. E. F. was neither a small nor an easy job. Some idea of its extent can be estimated from the fact that it handled more than 500,000 tons of materiel and spent more than $50,000,000 and made every ton and every dollar count. To their credit it should be said, in conclusion, that this pro- gram was carried through by a little band of 1,803 officers and 12,205 enlisted men, whose work was as hard as any in the Army and as hazardous, even if in the S. O. S. According to the schedules of requirements the Ordnance force of the A. E. F. should have been 2,145 officers and 35,330 enlisted men, while the program for July 1, 1919 called for 3,454 officers and 70,550 enlisted men. The history of our Ordnance is the history of success in a race between handicap and American brains and energy, and therefore one in which we can all take pride.
