Notts Arsenal Busier Than During War
(British Official Wireless) (Received 1.0 p.m.) RUGBY, January 13. The War Secretary, Mr Hore-Belisha, visited the Royal Ordnance Factory at Nottingham, which is owned and managed like the one at Woolwich, and where many of the modern anti-air-craft guns are being made. The main buildings were erected during the war and disposed of afterwards. They were re-purchased in September, 1936, and deliveries began in December, 1937. The factory now employs 3300 workers, and is producing more guns than in the time of war.
