Forty-two keys to victory. This man was once a skilled worker in a typewriter factory. He's still a skilled worker in the same factory, but instead of typewriters he's now assembling war items. Although Army and Navy demands for typewriters are increasing, the manufacute of these machines will have ceased by the end of the year. That's why the government needs your typewriter -- if it's of standard size and a model made no earlier than 1935

Conversion. Frying pans to aircraft parts. One of the owners of an Eastern manufacturing company explains the workings of a soundproof auxiliary engine cover to a friend. He's producing this engine cover on an experimental basis now, along with small aircraft parts, instead of the egg poachers and frying pans he used to make before converting his plant to war production. This cover will enclose motors used on four-engine bombers to take care of retracting gear and other essentials not connected with the main drive engine.

Subcontracting aircraft parts. These are aluminum flaps for military aircraft. The workers are in one of the canvas covered shops created in a former airship dock. The shops are enclosed to facilitate heating, since it would be impossible adequately to heat the entire air volume of the building, which approximates 45,000,000 cubic feet. Goodyear, Akron, Ohio
