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.

The view of young girls in flowered print aprons operat- ing such sizzling, thundering motal 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 automutic or semi-automa- tic machine tools have.made British this possible. Tho have adapted American mass-

A great deal of the riveting is done by women. The plant manager told the writer that women often make much bet- der 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, out that and also pointed 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 à 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 11 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 enses than those for wo- теп,

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 minlature 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 n pin we get for contributing to our factory's Spitfire fund,"

Another whom I questioned admitted she found the work hard and long hours difficult, 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 a large extent being moved right inside the factory itself. Many of the most intricate processes and the most important machines now have their own shelter built round them.

Nevertheless, factory off- cials, admit that considerable time is lost cach 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 Spitfire. Al- though the rate of production naturally remains secret, af- ter 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 larget force of Heinkels or Messerschmitts that has so far attempted a daylight air attack on Bri- taín.
