S. Boak, Works Manager of the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. division, on Aug. 17 announced that by the end of this month he expects to have the plant completely converted to commercial production of sport¬ ing arms and ammunition, flashlight batteries and roller skates. Winchester's post-war employment is expected to be 50%greater than pre-war because of the enormous backlog of orders and increased demands for the company's products, Mr. Boak said. Winchester's pre-war employment level was approximately 3,600 and present production plans are expected to require the full employ¬ ment of 5,500 persons by Aug. 31, it was added. Y Winchester was able to cushion itself against abrupt dislocations in its reconversion program because of careful planning made possible by prior cutbacks in its military contracts.
