NOTE.--Eddystone, Winchester, and Ilion plants turned out
the United States rifle, caliber .30, model 1917, popularly
known as the Enfield, while the Springfield Armory and the
Rock Island Arsenal produced the United States rifle, caliber
.30. model 1903, popularly known as the Springfield rifle. The
months marked by a drop in the production at Springfield and at
Rock Island were months in which the components manufactured
were not assembled but were used for spare parts.
