Three-inch A.A. cartridge cases. Cartridge cases for three-inch antiaircraft shells are produced by a series of operations that transform a flat brass disc into a case ready for loading with propelling charge and shell.

The big Midwest plant doing the work is well equipped to handle it in stride

Vitliano Scambis is an Italian from New York. He has only taken out his first papers, but he is a real American and proud of it, despite the fact that his shoulder has been pretty well shot to pieces, his arm damaged and one of his eyes shot away, he greets everybody with a bright smile and says: "I gotta it very bad from those Huns. But if I had lost my life I would have been glad to give it for my country." Describing his brief stay in France to a Red Cross visitor, he said "I feel vera bad that I gotta it so soon, because I wanta to be out there a fighting. When I saw the poor French people and their cities all smashed, it broke my heart!" On another occasion he said, "American is my country. I want to go back to Italy and see my fodder and mudder for a few days after the war. Then I wantta go home to America!"
