"A rare steel frame shot tower for the creation of lead bullets." Surely this should be "...lead shot." GrahamBould (talk) 06:40, 24 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

"..., when it allowed the company to keep production levels high..." What is "it"? The government? GrahamBould (talk) 06:40, 24 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

"The tower remained in profitable operation until after World War II, when it allowed the company..." - what is unclear here? "It" is clearly talking about the tower. if you'd like to rephrase it somewhat, please do so. Ingolfson (talk) 06:55, 24 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
