U.S. TANK OUTPUT
BRITAIN OUTSTRIPPED UP TO 33,600 A YEAR PRODUCTION SPEED-UP (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Nov. 27, 2.40 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.
United States tank production has already outstripped England’s said an official of the Office of Production management.
The United States’ goal of a yearly output of 33,600 tanks is rapidly being reached. Half the output is being regularly rushed to the battle lines. The Empire forces are receiving most of the medium vehicles, while Russia is getting fast, light tanks. The new American production schedule calls for 2000 30-t'on medium tanks and 800 13-ton light tanks monthly. The army is now testing a 55-ton land dreadnought which may be mass produced if the results are successful.
