TEAPOTS TO TIN HATS
CHANGES IN BRITISH FACTORIES. Manufacturers of teapots - are now making tin hats, a cap factory is turning out bullets, and makers of roller and ice skates are at work on aircraft components, as the result of factory control in Britain. Many British concerns have swung over to war production under earlier re-armament programmes, but in the last six months the work of the Board of Trade’s Factory and Storage Premises Control has brought thousands more works, large and small, to direct war production. Torpedoes are coming from a boot and shoe factory and aero-engine parts from a hairpin works, while a beautycream factory is applying its experience to the making of anti-gas and medicated ointments. Art silk manufacturers are busy on munitions and a wallpaper mill is filling shells, the cases for which are being made by silversmiths and the fuses by makers of brass taps.
