Several months ago
started, on our own initiative, on
an entirely new 1500 horsepower air
plane engine especially designed for
mass production. This engine is now
in the test stage and plans are being
developed for producing it in large
quantities when and if needed.
That is a report of progress
to date.
The experience and facilities
of this company can be used
to do much of the job which
America now needs to get done
in a hurry.
Our way of working, which
avoids all possible red tape, en
ables us to get results and get
them fast. This benefits users
of our products and workers
who produce them.
We are ready to make any
thing we know how to make,
to make it to the limit of our
capacity if need be, to make it
as fast as we can go, and to start
the next job whenever our
country asks us to. And to this
