CANADIAN-MADE FUSES
BIG EXPANSION RECORDED. OTTAWA. More than 35,000,000 separate parts will go into the September production of Canadian-made fuses and other similar components of shells to be rained upon the enemy, it was announced recently by the Department of Munitions and Supply. Representing a sharp increase over April output involving the assembly of some 22,700,000 parts, Canada’s production of fuses, gaines, primers, tubes and tracers is expected to reach a value of approximately 2,000,000 dollars a month by the autumn. Indicative of the tremendous need for these small but lethal stores, 21 firms are now producing or are on the point of producing. The fuse division of the department, since its inception, has authorised expenditures for plant extensions amounting to nearly 5,000,000 dollars with firms which have orders for some 22,500,000 units.
