This title is an acquisition.

In this war of machines, the skill of the engineer and the craftsmanship of the industrial worker are as vital a part of wartime military strategy as the khaki-clad figures on the firing line. The film tells how, almost overnight, Canada has become the arsenal behind the Allies, and how the special skill of each Canadian worker contributed to her fighting strength.
