9-inch gun was then made by the Royal
Gun Factories, the details of the cost of

during each year, and the replacement in
consequence of a change of pattern or of
the ordinary annual consumption; that in
order to prevent the manufacture of War-
like Stores becoming a mere monopoly in
the hands of the Government Establish-
ments it is advisable to purchase a certain
proportion of the articles required for Mili-
tary purposes from the private trade; and to
ensure accuracy of accounts, economy of pro-
duction, and fair comparison of Government
with trade prices, the Manufacturing Depart-
ments shall be treated as private firms, the
Government purchasing the articles required
at remunerative prices, to be provided from
Army and other Votes, and the capital
charges of the Establishments (whether for
