This interval was of greatconcern to the Services; it was notpossible for them to begin their fore quantity production started. While this was a very expensiveway to produce radar equipments, theservice proved to be of such greatvalue in its saving of time that itgrew rapidly. It became necessaryto limit pre-production by a criticalexamination of each request, in orderthat its volume might not overtaxthe Laboratories capacity and slowdown its development programs. The 1943 dollar volume of radarsystems pre-production was $3,000,-000, and in 1944 it increased morethan three-fold. It continued at anaverage level somewhat in excess of$1,000,000 per month until the warsend. This service was unique; itsnearest equivalent was a job shop atthe Radiation Laboratorv for con-struction of development models insmall quantity for similar purposes.

To BRIDGE the gap between design and quantity production, the Laboratories set up a pre-production shop—a corner of which is shown here—where limited numbers of new equipments were completed job shop basis, a large volume of itscomponents of recent development Inorder that the Service laboratories,the Radiation Laboratory, and In-dustrial laboratories could obtain newcomponents for evaluation and use Inthe development of radars In advanceof the time Western could start quan-tity production. This service was ofgreat value in accelerating evaluationand standardization of new compo-nents by the Services and the develop-ment of radar systems by others. Technical Manuals andInstruction Books Radars were sent to far distant warfronts In Europe and Asia. It wasmost Important that the officers andmen of the Services at the fronts beprovided with complete technical manuals and Instruction books foreach radar system.
