Day Zimmermann, Inc., Operating Contractor of Lone Star Army Ammunition Plant, Texarkana, TX 75501... 

In 1951 Day Zimmermann, Inc. was awarded an initial contract to operate the Lone Star Army Ammunition Plant. Fire protection systems for equipment and processes consisted of fuzeable links and quartzoid bulbs for sensing fires. In the early 1950 s, a plan was initiated to replace the existing systems with the improved Heat Actuating Device. The H-A-D greatly improved the effectiveness of the deluge systems and was considered adequate at the time. 

Day Zimmermann has installed approximately 90 ultraviolet sensor deluge systems in the Lone Star and Kansas Army Ammunition Plants. The Primac valve is only used in the black powder operation because of its higher cost. All other materials use the system as described in the second series of tests and is considered highly effective. 

RDX is not produced commercially in the United States (HSDB 1994). Production in the United States is limited to Army ammunition plants such as Holston Army ammunition plant in Kingsport, Tennessee, which has been operating at 10-20% capacity (Army 1986e). Several Army ammunition plants, such as Louisiana (Shreveport, Louisiana), Lone Star (Texarkana, Texas), Iowa (Middletown, Iowa), and Milan (Milan, Tennessee), also handle and package RDX.
