Auto conversion to airplane engines. With normal operations of this automobile factory suspended for the duration, the gigantic task of converting the entire plant (floor space: 500' x 900') to war production was taken over by the National Defense Plant Corporation. This involved all degrees of remodelling, the removal of old and installation of new machinery, and extensive rebuilding of the plant itself. This hand milling machine, formerly used in manufacture of automobile motors, has been converted to production of airplane engines. In peacetime it was used to mill the pulley keyway on the front of crankshafts. It cost $150 to convert this $1,800 machine with installation of a special fixture to enable milling of staking nicks at each end of crankpin oil hobs. Chevrolet, Buffalo, New York

Auto conversion to airplane engines. With one hundred percent conversion of this automobile factory to production of airplane engines, the gigantic task of remodelling old machinery, removal of old and installation of new equipment, and extensive rebuilding of the plant itself was formidable--but speedy. Under terms of its contract, production was not scheduled until October, but Herulean efforts of management and labor reduced this to early spring of this year. Carloads of scrap material torn out of the plant are shown here at a siding back of the factory. Chevrolet, Buffalo, New York

Auto conversion to airplane engines. "We'll be turning out as many airplane engines as Carter does pills," employees of a converted automobile factory told OEM (Office of Emergency Management) photographer. Now undergoing one hundred percent conversion to airplane motor production, this factory employs thousands of workers who are familiarizing themselves with the newly installed tools and machines. Two workers here lathe the cylinder of an airplane motor. Under terms of its contract, production was not scheduled until October, but Herculean efforts of management and labor completed the conversion this spring. Chevrolet, Buffalo, New York
Auto conversion to airplane engines. On the site of an automobile assembly line, this battery of Bullard boring machines used in manufacturing of airplane engines, now stands. With normal operations of this automobile factory suspended for the duration, conversion to war production was a gigantic task involving remodelling of machinery, removal of old and installation of new equipment and extensive rebuilding of the plant itself. These boring machines are used to rough cylinder barrels of airplane engines before heat treatment is applied. Chevrolet, Buffalo, New York
