Tire recapping. A recap job on a passenger car tire. The tire with a tread strip of reclaimed camelback rubber is put into a curing mold. The old tread surface had previously been ground down evenly and coated with rubber adhesive. The plan to recap passenger tires with reclaimed rubber camelback, approved by rubber director William M. Jeffers, was put into effect in February 1943 to reduce the demand for replacement tires and still keep civilian cars in service

Production. Tin smelting. "Bars" of pure tin are trimmed and cleaned before removal from the molds in which they were formed in a Southern smelter. All the trimmings are returned to the "pot boilers" for remelting. The plant, finest and most modern in the world, extracts the pure metal from South American ore

Production. Copper. A thickener at a large copper concentrator of the Phelps-Dodge Mining Company at Morenci, Arizona. This plant supplies great quantities of the copper so vital in our war effort

Production. Airplane manufacture, general. This woman employee at North American's Inglewood, California, plant, assembles control brackets for bomber and fighter planes. All parts are arranged conveniently in the semi-circle. This plant produces the battle-tested B-25 ("Billy Mitchell") bomber, used in General Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, and the P-51 ("Mustang") fighter plane, which was first brought into prominence by the British raid on Dieppe

Production. Jeep engines. This grinding machine in a Midwest plant is doing yeoman service in the production of jeep engines for the Army. Continental Motors, Michigan

Transformer manufacture. Welding is an intrinsic part of the manufacture of transformers. This welder is employed by a large Eastern electrical company whose power transformers are needed by many factories engaged in war Production. Westinghouse, Sharon, Pennsylvania

Production. Small ramp boats. Fitting and painting small wooden ramp boats at a Southern shipyard. These thirty-six-foot carriers, built of prefabricated sections, are used for making beach landings of men and equipment. The completed boats are launched by crane and delivered in tows of six to eight. Higgins Industries

Tank manufacture (Chrysler). Ten thousand skilled workers at the huge Chrysler tank arsenal,in Detroit,turning out twenty-eight ton M-3 tanks. This pair is attaching a hinge plate to the cupola of a gun turret which will be set on one of these rolling arsenals

Shipbuilding. "Liberty" ships. This maze of rolling cranes, at a large Eastern shipyard is a typical scene in many large shipyards at work on ships for Uncle Sam's Navy and merchant fleet. Stocks of material are piled up for the cranes to take to vessels under construction so there is no delay in production while waiting for sections or materials. All parts are prefabricated in this huge Eastern plant which formerly turned out freight cars. The completed sections are then carried six miles to the ways on flat cars. Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards Inc., Baltimore, Maryland

Production. Launching of the SS Booker T. Washington. The SS Booker T Washington, first Liberty Ship named for a Negro slides down the ways at the Wilmington yards of the California Shipbuilding Corporation at its launching on September 29, 1942

Voices for a mighty argument. A long line of big guns being rushed toward completion under the war production program. Guns shown here are being turned out in the major caliber shop of a large eastern arsenal
