Aluminum casting. When the aluminum solidifies, it is knocked out by hammer from the ingot molds. Soon to be cast into essentials for the war effort, this metal is one of America's most vital essentials for victory. Destination of the finished aluminum products is kept secret--but they'll probably end up as jeeps or airplane engines parts. Aluminum Industries Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio

Aluminum casting. A new development in the production of war materials involves use of magnesium.
