There may be other obstacles of the same kind that slowed production last year. Glenn Martin once had scores of B-26 bombers waiting on the field for propellers; Bell Aircraft waited weeks for Allison engines and 37-mm. aerial cannon; Lockheed for flight instruments.

G.M.'s arms output was officially set at 24% of all G.M. output in the September quarter. Soon it may reach 50-60%; next year...
