advance payments to hire and train additional employees With more employees the plant could meet its contractual production level of about 27000 suits a month he said The government told Camel it would not provide more advance did not meet previous production schedules Bower said however that Camel coukl not meet the production schedule because the government lab in Philadelphia took six months to test material instead of its contractual deadline of 30 days Before the delays started the Newport plant had a contract to make 327000 chemical protective suits for about $19 million So far
