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

Shipbuilding. "Liberty" ships. Wooden templates are used as patterns for the laying out of a number of steel plates. These workers are transferring the templates designs, or patterns, to steel, to be used in ships under construction at a large Eastern shipyard. All parts are prefabricated in this huge Eastern plant which formerly turned out freight cars. The completed sections are then carried six miles to the ways on flat cars. Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards Inc., Baltimore, Maryland

Fort Knox. Halftrac crews. The crews of halftrac armored cars, in training at Fort Knox, Kentucky, are hardy, able men. The Fort Knox school for men of the armored services is teaching many American soldiers how to use mechanized striking equipment to best advantage. Its graduates are now on many of our far-flung battle lines, ready to meet the Axis on more than even terms
