Rubber reclamation. Rubber "mush" from old tires. Softened rubber material, reclaimed from scrap tires by dissolving and washing away the fiber, passes from dewatering screens to storage bins. The rubber, still hot from steam used in previous operations, is kept moving into a squeezing device before proceeding to the drying and other operations of the xylos process. Firestone

Production. Milling machines and machine castings. When a full ladle comes along, there must be enough molds ready to take the whole load. Nowhere is Time so stern a master as it is in the foundry. Iron must be poured when it's right -- or thrown out, cooled, and returned to the cupola. Location: a large Midwest tool plant

Production. War housing trailers. Many time-saving methods are employed in the making of war housing trailers at the Los Angeles plant of Western Trailer Company. A heavy-duty stapling machine, for example, makes fast work of fastening the waterproof finish sheeting in place. Later a decorative strip will cover the staple heads and the sheeting will be trimmed off flush with the lower edge of the stip

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. By using a polarized light apparatus to take pictures of plastic models of turbine nuts and bolts, Dr. Hetenyi, Hungarian-born research engineer at the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, has discovered how to make this fastening device up to forty per cent stronger. He found that nuts and bolts with broad shoulders and tapered bodies distribute stress on threads more evenly than do ordinary nuts and bolts
