Silva House, 1333 Euclid Avenue, Saint Louis, Independent City, MO

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

Good men, good machines, good materials mean good gears for the rear axles of halftrac scout cars now being produced for our Army in an Ohio truck plant. White Motor Company, Cleveland, Ohio

Metal scrap salvage. The rural scrap collection center at Dexter, Michigan was the scene of much activity as the drive sponsored by the War Production Board (WPB) gained headway. The first load dumped here was followed by many others as farmyards yielded tons of old iron and rubber that put money into the pockets of local farmers and much valuable material back into use

Halftrac scout cars. When the American assembly line gets down to business, things gets done and done well. The assembling of engines for the Army's new halftrac scout cars is a job well done and understood by the trained men of a large Ohio truck plant. White Motor Company, Cleveland, Ohio

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

Steel manufacture, Allegheny-Ludlum. This doesn't look very impressive, just a pile of rock. Well, that's what it is, a pile of limesone, but since limestone is the main ingredient for the refining of high quality steels, heaps of rock such as these mighty important factors in the maintenance of defense production

Accurate workmanship is required to make perfectly uniform shells for the Army. Inspectors are on the alert to reject those which fail to meet requirements. Oldsmobile, Lansing, Michigan

The chassis of an Army halftrac scout car get a workout. When this test driver at a large Midwest plant has put the machine through its paces, he'll know if the machine meets the exacting specifications of the Army. White Motor Company, Cleveland, Ohio

A coat of paint makes anything look better. But the purpose of spraying the undercarriages of the Army's halftrac scout cars is for protection. The job is part of the production routine on a large order being filled by a Midwest truck manufacturer. White Motor Company, Cleveland, Ohio

Center Street Swing Bridge, Southwest of Public Square, Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, OH

New York, New York. Reel room of the New York Times newspaper. Preparing to thread paper through presses
