Original Toronto Star caption: Miss Bussell and Miss Cumberland try aiming the gun. These big weapons use vast amounts of shells, firing them 40,000 feet into the air; each automatically timed to burst by an intricate fuse. More shells of all types are being used now than ever before. And 3,400 women workers are needed to fill the gaps at Scarboro and the D.I.L. plant at Ajax to keep the shells coming. Published in Toronto Daily Star, 30 June 1944, page 13, with title ''Geco Calls The Girls, 3,400 Needed To Fill Shells''.||The 364 acre Geco complex extended South from Eglinton Avenue East to present-day Hymus Road, between Warden Avenue and Birchmount Road, and consisted of 172 buildings.
