Finishing the “last” shell at the Wolseley Works. Mr. A. McCormack, the managing director, addresses the workers in the Shell Department. Messrs. Wolseley Motors, Ltd., have finally closed down the manufacture of munitions of war at the Wolseley Works, and are resuming the manufacture of their well-known cars. The workers in the Shell Department made quite a function of this last shell, decorating it with a small Union Jack, and following it through from operation to operation. Mr. A. McCormack thanked the workers for their co-operation and loyalty during the trying period of the war, and for the manner in which they had helped to maintain the firm’s output of shells at such a high figure.
