Logbooks of the Springfield Laboratory, 1778-1780.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79664017

Series consists of three logbooks inventorying personnel (officers, workers) and daily production of each: Goods produced are chiefly musket and artillery cartridges; also occasionally noted are carriages and wheels for cannons, gunpowder, cannons, and case shots. Book (2) records the period of highest cartridge production, notably Sept. 13-18, 1779, with a weekly total of 26,160. Book (3) shows a sharp decline in production, presumably the result of quantities of arms now being supplied by the French and by the Continental laboratory at Carlisle, Pa., as the Revolutionary battleground progressed southward.
