War Department findings show Dixwell Corp and High Standard firms benefited from efficiency allowing high profits after renegotiating Browning machine gun contracts. Dixwell executives earned over 2 million dollars in 1941 and nearly 18 million in 1942, while High Standard's revised price totals save taxpayers 24 million dollars, due to lower unit costs and continued high margins.
