Bunch of Big Shots Ready for service are these 10-inch "disappearing carriage" cannon which have a range of about 10 miles. They were in the yards of the U.S. Watervliet arsenal near Albany, N.Y. There are 300 men employed at this plant, but the arsenal has a gun factory where 15,000 men could be put to work. Most of the work now being done there is on navy orders.
