A government backed corporation, the National Operating Company (NOC), was formed to manage the S&W factory and assumed control on 13 September 1918. But based on Army reports on the delivery of S&W M1917 revolvers, the management transition did not significantly impact production. There is probably more to the story than this, but I think it was a result of labor problems affecting production quotas.
