Behind British Aeroplanes

By Mallory Browne

PITFIRES-British fight- ing planes which are the great foé of the Nazi bomber

are being made largely through the combined efforts of American machines and British women workers.

In a factory stretching for miles, thousands of men and women work at row after row of machines of all sorts, shapes, and sizes--whirling metal lathes, giant jigs, turn- ing out and assembling latest huge presses and monster metal stretching devices.

More than a third, of these hundreds of machine many

marvels. iools, mechanical which are the real story be- hind the story of aeroplanes which they make possible, are American.

A ☆ *

In fact, the proportion of American equipment, includ- ing tools and jigs of all sorts,". is more than 50 per cent. in certain blocks or units of this particular factory and the pro- portion is constantly increas- ing as shipments of more ma- chines continue to arrive from the United States.

A surprisingly large num- are ber of these machines

Al- women. operated by though some-machines and mechanical devices appear to be no more formidable than a small electric sewing ma- are towering chine, others masses of steel which hiss and roar and thump alarmingly as they simmer out metal parts to be used in the. production of planes.

The view of young girls in flowered print aprons operat- ing such sizzling, thundering metal monsters struck the ob- server as the most significant sight in the entire factory- which the British claim is the biggest factory in the world..

At present about 40 per cent. of the workers in this Spitfire factory are

women.

But within a few weeks or months at most it is expected the proportion of women will be nearer 80 per cent, to only about 20 per cent, of men.

American methods of man- ufacture and American types of automatic or semi-automa tic machine tools have made this possible. The British have adapted American mass- production methods to this Spitfire production factory...

The result in a factory re- markably well suited to the production of such an intric ate weapon as a high-speed fighter plane which must be the same time delicate of mechanism and an extremely robust article, capable of be- ing turned out in large num bers in a short space of time.

There is a great deal of specialisation so that ench worker has hor or his particu lar operation to perform. It: might be putting rivets in a

frame of a Spitfire wing or it a more complex might be operation such BB sewing fabric on wing and tail control flaps.

☆

A great deal of the riveting is done by women. The plant manager told the writer that women often make much bet- ter riveters than men. Asked why, he said he didn't know, except that they often seemed to be able to use their hands more quickly and cleverly,. and also pointed out that most metal used was a rela- tively light aluminium alloy and not heavy steel.

The wages paid to these women workers in the Spitfire plant vary considerably. They may start at £3 a week for beginners learning a trade or for those doing the simplest type of work. Earnings of experienced women workers average about £6 weekly and rise as high as £8 or more in a few exceptional cases. Wo- men, like the men, work 11 hours a day. For Sunday work they are paid double. time..

The factory is operating on a 24-hour basis, although the night shift isn't quite so long as the day. Wage rates for men are slightly higher in most cases than those for wo-

skilled aircraft men. workmen may easily earn up to £15

a piece work-basis.

Despite long working hours the work was obviously excel- lent among both men and wo- men workers. Seeing that a large number of workers, par- ticularly women, were wear- ing a pin in the shape of a miniature Spitfire, I ques- tioned one, saying I supposed it was a badge given to workers in the factory. "Oh, no," she replied, "it is just a pin we get for contributing to our factory's Spitfire fund."

Another woman worker whom I questioned admitted she found the work hard and long hours difcult, but said,. "The work has got to be done 'and somebody's got to do it, so why shouldn't we? It is worth it if it helps win; and if we don't win, life wouldn't be worth while, so I guess that's all there is to it."

. One significant new de- velopment observer in the fac tory was the fact that the air raid shelters, normally out- side, are now to n large extent being moved right inside the Many of the factory. itself. most intricate processes and the most important machines own shelter now have their built round them.

Nevertheless, factory off- cials admit that considerable time is lost each week through air raids and air raid warn- ings, especially during night shifts. One method of beat- ing the bomber that is being used extensively is dispersal. Not only are factories widely scattered but a large number of machines formerly concen- trated into this particular fac- tory have been removed and are now doing the same work elsewhere. The parts they produce are then brought to the factory for assembling into a finished Spitüre. Al- though the rate of production naturally remains secret, af- tur seeing every stage-in-the- manufacture from the arrival. of raw material to the test flight of a completed plane equipped with its cannon, it is possible to state with confi- dence that Britain's Spitfires are being produced in big enough quantities to give an uncomfortably warm reception to a much larger force of от Messerschmitts Heinkels that has so far attempted a on Bri. daylight air attack tain.
