The Michigan Stamping Company, of Detroit, undertook to build 50, 000 of these. These shell contracts were placed in December, 1917. The Michigan Stamping Company had to wait five months before it could secure and install its complete equipment of 276 THE ARMIES OF INDUSTRY machinery-. It was September before all the difficulties in the Detroit plant's project could be overcome and quantity pro- duction started. The concern eventually, before and after the signing of the armistice, built 9, 185... shell of this type at a maximum rate of fifty-six a day. Greater promise seemed to attend the Metropolitan Engi- neering Company's project to build shell of pressed-out plates, electrically welded. The Government undertook to furnish the steel plates for this work and secured from the American Roll- ing Mills Company of Middletown, Ohio, a total production of 6, 757 tons of them. The Metropolitan Engineering Com- pany had great difficulty in perfecting a proper welding process; and the concern lost a great deal of money on the contract, yet cheerfully continued its development without prospect of recompense, in order that we might have in this country the knowledge of how to build such shell.
