Conversion. Floor waxer plant. One of the few lathes bought by a small Eastern manufacturing firm. Unable to purchase much new machinery, the owner of the company installed and remodelled old equipment to produce war essentials under subcontract. First orders were delivered thirty days after contract, an amoazingly short time considering that conversion of machines took two weeks of it. Floorola Products Inc., York, Pennsylvania

Conversion. Toy factory. Stephanie Cewe and Ann Manemeit, have turned their skill from peacetime production of toy trains to the assembly of parachute flare casings for the armies of democracy. Along with other workers in this Eastern plant, they have turned their skill to the vital needs of the day, and in many cases have seen to it that the machinery they used to use does Uncle Sam's most important work today. Here, they are assembling parachute flare casings, using the same electric screwdrivers they formerly used to assemble the locomotives of toy trains. A. C. Gilbert Company, New Haven, Connecticut

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. Stocks of partially completed lengths of seamless copper tube in many sizes. These have still to go through several more draws through dies on drawbenches. Each draw reduces them in diameter and wall thickness, and lengthens them out. Then, before the tubes leaves the mill, the ends will be sawed off straight and clean. Chase Copper and Brass Company, Euclid, Ohio

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

Shipbuilding. "Liberty" ships. Shell plates of a ship at the bow, where the inner plates are first bolted to the outer plates for added strength. The rivets are countersunk to be flush on the outer side. Production scene in a large Eastern shipyard. Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards Inc., Baltimore, Maryland

Rags. Collection and processing. A portion of the sorting room in a large Eastern rag processing plant. In this room new rag remnants, consisting chiefly of cuttings received from clothing factories, are sorted. The rags are classified and separated according to the type of cloth; colored rags are graded according to the ease with which they can be bleached. The baskets in back of the women are filled with rags that have been sorted and classified. The women work in teams of two; it takes a team about two hours to sort the rags in one full bale. In another part of the plant, a room of the same size and general appearance as this is used for sorting used rags. Shapiro Company, Baltimore, Maryland

Production. Pratt and Whitney airplane engines. Cylinder heads for R-1340 Wasp planes are inspected in a large Eastern plant now producing a huge number of fine American engines for our fighting air forces. Pratt and Whitney Aircraft

Conversion. Food machinery plant. This turret lathe was purchased second-hand from a nearby shoe factory to speed production on war subcontracts held by a New England plant which formerly turned out cube steak machinery. Edwin Becker is checking on a retooling job in progress which will eventually fit the new lathe to thread three-and-a-quarter-inch hexagonal nuts. Becker is checking the measurements of the tool hole in the turret with those of the specially-built tap which will do the threading. Cube Steak Machine Company, Boston, Massachusetts
