View of inside the Shell Shop at White & Poppe's factory in Holbrooks as workers are seen loading shell cases into wagons ready to be transported to be filled with explosive. The picture and a lot of information is included in the excellent book 'We re-invented the Wheel', a Dunlop history, by Ron Vice. The shell cases appear to be of a similar calibre to the gun barrels that were manufactured in the same industrial complex. C1916
