Conservation. Scrap iron and steel. Auto "graveyards" where old worn out automobiles are stripped of usable parts. Non-ferrous materials are burned out and the steel chassis and bodies are sent on to scrap iron and steel dealers. Such yards as these supply tons of scrap iron, steel and rubber yearly which is now being used to alleviate shortages in vital defense materials (U.S. Route 1, Baltimore-Washington Highway, August 1941)
Industrial salvage. Marine iron and steel scrap. Iron and steel scrap, left over from the repair and replacement of marine boilers, turbine engines and other equipment, now ready for removal from the Seabrook, Louisiana yard of the Standard Dredging Corporation.

Army truck manufacture (Dodge). Cab assemblies entering huge rust-proofing ovens. In this process the raw sheet metal of the cabs is treated with various chemicals before any finishing coats are applied.
