Modern materials handling techniques in US Army Ammunition Plants are detailed in the Refs given under Modernization Engineering Project for US Army Ammunition Plants in this Vol, A study of materials handling at the Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant, carried out under the above project, is reported in Ref 6. The principal objectives of this study were to develop recommendations to modernize materials handling in a cost effective and safe manner. 

Plant Layout, Location, Design and Construction. For information on the special techniques required in the loading and fabrication of expls pertinent to ammo plant layout and design, see the entry under that title in Vol 7, L46-L to L57-L For what has been done to accomplish modernization of munitions plants now extant, see Modernization Engineering Project for US Army,Ammunition Plants1 in this Vol, M.147-L to Ml48-R. The problem of pollution created by ammo plants is examined in an article under this topic in this Vol...
