War Material Production at Schuylkill Arsenal
An elderly observer notes the Schuylkill arsenal in Philadelphia manufactures 8,000,000 rounds of ammunition and 1,000,000 rifle balls yearly. Guns and ammunition undergo daily testing for strength, reliability, and performance as thousands of rounds are used in trials. The Philadelphia arsenal is highlighted as the sole large scale producer for the government. A Lancaster man mentions a rooster with unusually long legs in a separate anecdote.
