Retired library book with usual library markings. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. From the Foreword: I transmit herewith the Annual Report of the Army Service Forces for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1943. The fiscal year 1943 brought new problems to the Army Service Forces. In the field of procurement, the principal concern during 1942 was the construction or conversion of productive facilities to war manufacture. In 1943 productive facilities largely ceased to be a bottleneck. Deliveries of ground type munitions began to realize the full promise of American mass production. The first great difficulty in procurement was one of channeling raw materials in an orderly manner to war contractors and subcontractors. The problem of raw materials was also a problem in War Department relations to the War Production Board. The War Department's fears that the Production Requirements Plan would prove administratively unfeasible were borne out in the third quarter of 1942. In the meantime the new priority ratings for specific quantities of war goods to be acquired in a particular time period went into effect. Almost simultaneously the War Production Board announced a new scheme of materials control--the Controlled Materials Plan--and took steps to put day-to-day relations with the War Department on a systematic basis. Both agencies worked together in planning the methods for putting the Controlled Materials Plan into effect. With increasing materials shortages, the problem of production scheduling came to the fore. The most effective use of all materials was indispensable if completed articles were to be produced instead of many half-finished items. Production scheduling was therefore closely tied to materials control. Drawing the line between the two, and between the respective fields of authority of the War Production Board and the War Department, was not easy. It was done, however, and done satisfactorily. Moreover, through the Production Executive Committee set up by the War Production Board, close, continual relations between the Army Service Forces and the War Production Board on production questions has been achieved. In the fiscal year 1942 careful attention had been given to the development of adequate data on War Department requirements for munitions. These data were used in setting procurement objectives and in presenting raw materials needs to the War Production Board. In 1943 these requirements had to be further adjusted because of production limitations and consequent changes in strategic plans. 274 pages.

Shipping Terms

We generally ship by the next business day. We want your order to reach you in the same condition it leaves our shelves -- so much so that we've created our own brand of shipping mailer. CorgiPack� mailers are constructed with a B-flute corrugated fiberboard pad providing solid edge and corner protection in transit, protection sadly lacking in cheap bubble mailers. And they're 100% recyclable -- just put them out with the household paper! International orders are shipped via AIR and should arrive in 7 to 10 days after shipping. Oversize items (e.g. sets containing 2 or more volumes, 4to, folios) and high cost items are sometimes subject to additional shipping charges; we will contact you for your approval if such is the case. Orders shipped outside of the United States may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees levied by the destination country. International shipments may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are levied once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and can't predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; you should contact your local customs office for more information. When customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates.
