Government discovers method to preserve movie film indefinitely. Washington, D.C., July 8. People living in the year 2000 will be able to see and hear today's history in the making through experiments on preserving movie film now being conducted by the National Bureau of Standards. The experts at the bureau recently completed "accelerated aging tests in which films in six months went through the effects of 50 years' storage in a cool dark room. These tests showed that cellulose, or explosive film, would last from 50 to 100 years. The new Safety or Acetate film "may be preserved for longer periods." Unofficially, the experts put the figure at several hundred years. The following set of pictures were made at the Bureau of Standards and the National Archives Building. (1) Accelerated aging, The stability of the films is tested similarly to paper. They are heated in this oven at 100 [degrees] C and tested for loss of flexibility and for evidences of chemical decomposition. Arnold Soorne, of the Bureau Staff, is picture making the test

Headed for last cleanup. Six giant truck tires, of the non-directional type are being wheeled in for cleaning and painting. This pattern, developed for the U.S. Army in 1941 is used for field equipment....gives excellent traction in forward or reverse because of the horizontal cleats, yet rides well on the highway on the continuous center rib. Firestone (General) Tires, Akron, Ohio

Wrapping the finished tire. Seeing is not necessarily believing. Even when you see the tire-wrapping machine in operation, it is difficult to understand how it works....spinning a strand of paper around a tire as fast as the operator can feed them in. All the operator need do is place the tire in position; the machine does the rest. Firestone (General) Tires, Akron, Ohio

Production. Airplane maufacture, general. A noontime rest for a full- fledged assembly worker at the Long Beach, California, plant of Douglas Aircraft Company. Nacelle parts for a heavy bomber form the background. Most important are the many types of aircraft made at this plant are the B-17F ("Flying Fortress") heavy bomber, the A-20 ("Havoc") assault bomber and the C-47 heavy transport plane for the carrying of troops and cargo

Removing cured tube from mold. As the tire molds are all-automatic, so are the tube molds. This one has just opened; all the operator need do is remove the finished tube and put in another raw one. Note the seam marks in the mold itself, which leave their imprint on the tube. Thus a seamless tube may appear to have a collection of many sections. Firestone (General) Tires, Akron, Ohio

Debarkation station aboard a transport bound for Salerno. "H" hour approaches, this time at Salerno. Assault craft are swung to deck level for loading and lowering into the sea.
