And so, within a period of 22 days — the tireless construction team looked upon the task as "holy work"— a 30-foot-deep hole was dug: 100 feet long, 24 feet wide and 101/2 feet high and en- cased in walls and ceiling 1 1/2 feet thick. Our tour guide took us down the ladder and into the fac- tory, now redesigned as a display area, with life-size cardboard fig- ures manning the various pieces of machinery. We noted the high ceilings of the large hall and the pillars which supported it and divided the space into sections. Some were insulated for handling haz- ardous materials like gunpowder and others were sound-proofed as firing ranges. Soundproofing, we noted, was further enhanced by an asphalt roof and a layer of soil 10 1/2 feet thick. Additional layers of thick mat- tresses filled the space between the bottom of the oven and the ceiling of the arms plant below. The oven's chimney, our guide ex- plained, allowed for the flow of fresh air into the factory; the laundry smokestack was the vent, discharging polluted air out- side. Who would operate the army factory? Haganah approached a group of young men and women who had planned to create their own kibbutz nearby along the Mediterranean coast. Would they postpone their dream, "for the du- ration," and produce ammo in- stead of apples? After heated discussion on the proposed mis- sion, the would-be kibbutzniks agreed unanimously to make 9 mm. bullets And so they did, for three years, producing them under the most difficult conditions. Despite the ventilation through the oven chimney and good fluorescent lighting, the health of the un- derground workers deteriorated. The combination of fumes, noise, dust from the sheets of copper from which the bullet cases were made, the heat of the machines and the lack of sunlight left the mark of a prison pallor, aches and general weakness. Dr. Yosef Coft, head of Magen David Adorn, the Haganah first- aid service, was summoned for consultation. He urged a regular routine of enriched food and large quantities of milk — produced "topside" — vitamins and daily treatments with a sunlamp. The workers survived, if they did not actually thrive, on the good doc- tor's regimen; and they main- tained full production until the final armistice with the Arabs was signed in the autumn of 1948. Throughout, the secret of their clandestine labors had been care- ful guarded. Few in Palestine, or in Israel after independence was achieved, knew of their existence.
