Original Toronto Star caption: The brief simple ceremony was attended by hundreds of workmen; who quit their jobs for a few moments to witness the dedication of the first-fruits of their labor. Here munitions inspectors at the plant line up behind women spectators. The tank; Mr. Howe said; is a Canadian product; into which radical changes in design have been introudced. Hundreds of other mbile fortresses will soon follow this first one.
