RADIO MANUFACTURERS URGED TO ORDER FINE WIRE QUICKLY
Manufacturers of resistors and fine wire, used in mili¬ tary radio, have been urged to place orders quickly for fine wire in a recent letter by S. K. Wolf, Chief of the Resources Branch of the Radio Division, War Production Board.
Mr. Wolf pointed out that while orders for many sizes of fine wire are being delayed, the wire producers are working below capacity. He stated that facilities for producing some sizes have not been completed so that complaints of slow deliveries may be justified. He urged those who are experiencing difficulty in the delivery of fine wire .002 or smaller to seek the direct assistance of the Resources Branch.
"There have been complaints from some of you regarding fine wire deliveries", he wrote to manufacturers. "These complaints may be Justified in certain sizes of fine wire where there are definite bottlenecks since some extensions have not been completed. However, there are sizes which are still not up to capacity of pro¬ duction in spite of tne fact that these sizes are likewise neces¬ sary to meet the requirements of your industry. Apparently some of you have yet to place orders to meet your requirements in these latter available sizes.
"In the event you have placed your orders for fine wire (.002 and smaller) and are experiencing any delivery difficulties, we will assist you if, with your request,, you send us a list of all your fine wire orders on which you are having delivery troubles. Report for each order the name of the supplier, purchase order number, size, quantity, description, delivery date promised and date required. "
