Ordnance Factory London, Jan. 13.
The Secretary of State for War, Mr. Leslie Here-Belisha, spent two hours today at the Royal Ordnance Factory at Nottingham, which is owned and managed like the Woolwich Arsenal and where many of the modern 3.7 inch and 4.5 inch anti-aircraft guns are being made.
The main buildings of the factory were erected during the Great War as a national factory and were disposed of afterwards. They were repurchased in September, 1936, and deliveries began in December 1937. "The factory now employs 3,300 work people and is producing more guns than have ever been produced of a similar calibre by any other factory, even in time of war.—Wireless through Reuter.
