STRIKING BRITISH EXAMPLE
(British Official Wireless.)
(Received November 18, 11.10 aon.)
RUGBY, November 17.
A striking, example of the manner in j which war speeds up industry and j changes its direction is afforded in the | case of a large works whose peace-time output of gramophones, radio, tele-: vision sets, bicycles, and electrical applfances is known throughout the world.' * i
Under the direction of the Ministry of supply, these works, in addition to normal activities, are now producing smoke shell cases, fuses, prismatic compasses, aerial winches, reels, and frames, tools, jigs, predictors, mine covers, and sound locators.
Scientists are playing an important part in perfecting these and other instruments, and in the case of sound detectors for location of the whereabouts of enemy aircraft they have, with the co-operation of industry, provided the Army with a ' method of picking up sounds and recording them on dials with unfailing accuracy.
