FRAMES FOR AIRCRAFT
LORD NUFFIELD'S FACTORY BIG YEARLY PRODUCTION LONDON, June '2 Viscount Nuffield, the Daily Mail says, plans to produce yearly 5000 frames for the latest interceptor fighters, which will be fitted with RollsRoyce engines if the Birmingham corporation, as is anticipated, grants his application for a factory site. The Secretary of State for Air, Sir Kingsley Wood, has given Lord Nuffield a free hand outside the "shadow" scheme, which Lord Nuffield considers technically wrong. It is hoped that the factory, which will employ 15,000 workers, will be in production by the end of tho year, and ultimately produce 100 frames a week.
