..in Canada, the M.G.O, wrote to the Secretary, D.M.S. stating that he understood that instructions had been given to Ford and G.M. to tool up to the point of being capable of producing 100 C.M.P. units per day. The companies should initiate production at that level as soon as possible, he requested. It was also suggested that the companies create banks of components in finished, semi-finished and raw states sufficient to permit either company entering production of finished units at the 100-per-day level in not more than 15 days from receipt of instruction to do so. If this suggestion was adopted maximum production could be realised at least 60 days earlier than by other methods
