Machon Ayalon
Machon Ayalon was an underground bullet factory, located on Kibbutz Hill in Rehovot, Israel. The factory was established in 1946 and was in use as a factory until 1948; however, today the factory is used as a tribute to the brave men and women who worked there in the most extreme of conditions. This underground bullet factory was “secretly created in less than a month, 8 meters (25 feet) underground and was a part of the Haganah"〔http://www.shimur.org/english/article.php?id=28〕
==Background information==
The kibbutz was created to disguise the factory from the British. In order to get all of the copper for the bullets the kibbutz members told the British that they were making kosher lipstick. The British bought their lie and let them make their “kosher lipstick”. Yosef Avidar, who was the head of the Israel Military Industries, bought the bullet-making machines from Poland and they were able to put them into the underground factory. It was no easy task to transport the big machines into the factory, but they got them in and started using them right away. They devised an intelligent way of covering up the noises of the machines by having its openings covered by a 10-ton oven and a large washing machine. The washing machine was in use all the time and it became a problem for the kibbutz members because all of their clothes were washed so many times that they became raggedy. Again they came up with a great way of masking their true intentions and created a 24-hour laundry service, so while they were hiding their secret they could also raise money. Not all of the members in the kibbutz were aware that there was a secret underground bullet factory right under their homes. The people who had no idea were referred to as the “Giraffes” by all of the secret factory workers.
