Excerpt from The Story of Ordnance in the World War The Problem of Ordnance in the World War was the problem of mobilization and coordination of science and industry with the military establishment. The scope of our effort was as broad as American industry, and it reached to the foundations of scientific research and knowledge. Although the Ordnance Department did not monopolize either field, it is safe to say that no other component of the war machine carried its responsibilities and effort as to design and invention, or production, into so many channels, or projected them upon so vast a scale. Our undertaking was, indeed, at once so varied and so prodigious that few persons could possess the knowledge to pass judgment upon it intelligently. I remember upon one occasion listening to the complaint of a fellow officer anent the lack of sympathy entertained by the public for the work of our corps. It was during the days that the Browning gun was "on paper." Another officer present picked up from my desk a paper-weight made of a seventy-five millimeter shrapnel shell cross-sectioned. Turning the smoothly machined exterior of the steel jacketed shell toward him, he said, "General, this is what the public sees of our product. But this is what that product really is."
