FIFTEEN HUNDRED AN HOUR A machine in a chocolate factory at Willesden, Middlesex, has been turning out 1500 Easter eggs an hour, it made more than 150,000 Easter eggs in three weeks, and not one, of them was touched by hand. Hollow chocolate novelties are usually made by hand in two portions and then clamped together. A fast worker makes about 40 eggs by hand in an hour. Only one man works this machine, which is said to be tho only one of its kind in Britain. " It will make anything from a tinv hollow chocolate strawberry an inch long, said an official, " to an egg sin. loi:g aud 3iu. wide."
