The material was not properly tempered. Senator Hitchcock. When was it that the factory in Birmingham began the output of the guns? Digitized by VjOOQIC MACHINE GUNS 128 Col. Lewis. On a large scale our first inter- changeable guns were delivered to the British Gov- ernment under contract in 1914. I think it was in November, if I am not mistaken. I think war was declared on the 3d of August, and we did not get real deliveries of these interchangeable guns under our contract with the British Gov...ernment, although we had been working eighteen months at it, until November of 1914. I am quite sure. Senator. Senator Hitchcock. Prior to 1913 you were not in shape to oflfer guns to Gen. Crozier, were you? Col. Lewis. What do you mean? Senator Hitchcoch. You had no factories estab- lished? Col. Lewis. No; certainly not. I had not the money to establish a factory. Senator Hitchcock. And when the test was made of your first output of the British factory it was premature? CoL Lewis. Very much so, and against my judg- ment.
