Default Royal Ordnance Factory Cardiff

I have found two references to the manufacturing of guns at R.O.F. Cardiff.

“It was originally established in 1940 as a Royal Ordnance factory, manufacturing field guns and other weaponry.”

“THE Atomic Weapons Establishment in Cardiff began its life as a Royal Ordnance factory in 1940. During World War II, it played a vital role, manufacturing anti-tank weapons. At the peak of wartime production, there were more than 3,000 employees, 90 per cent of them women, turning out more than 1,700 guns a month.”
