Melbourne war plant run by women enters fourth year
The Melbourne facility, staffed entirely by women aged 25 to 40, has operated for four years with many workers new to employment outside the home. They manufacture Bren gun carrier steering dears and telescope holders, while parcel shipments to service members abroad proceed without export licenses.
