Three-inch A.A. cartridge cases. Cartridge cases for three-inch antiaircraft shells are produced by a series of operations that transform a flat brass disc into a case ready for loading with propelling charge and shell. Between each operation there is careful washing to remove all scale and adhesion and to leave surfaces clean for later processing. The big Midwest plant doing the work is well equipped to handle it in stride

Fiberglass manufacture, Owens-Corning, Toledo, Ohio. Fiberglass yarns are twisted and plied on standard textile machinery as a step in the manufacture of tapes and cloths, used principally to insulate electric equipment operating under heavier loads today than ever before

Production. Jeep engines. This grinding machine in a Midwest plant is doing yeoman service in the production of jeep engines for the Army. Continental Motors, Michigan

Production. Marine boilers. Grinding of welded seams inside the drum of a large marine boiler at a Midwest plant which has converted its facilities to war production

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

Fort Benning. Tommy gunners, armored forces. The tank soldier finds many chores for the Thompson sub-machine gun, familiarly known as the Tommy gun

Mitchell Field. The eagle puts foot to earth. An air-crew officer dressed in full combat gear inspects a bomber landing wheel. Part of the retracting mechanism is shown

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

Two women workers are shown capping and inspecting tubing which goes into the manufacture of the "Vengeance" (A-31) dive bomber made at Vultee's Nashville division, Tennessee. The "Vengeance" (A-31) was originally designed for the French. It was later adopted by the R.A.F. and still later by the U.S. Army Air Forces. It is a single-engine, low-wing plane, carrying a crew of two men and having six machine guns of varying calibers

Army truck manufacture (Dodge). A bank of wheels and tires for Dodge Army trucks piled up as they arrive at the plant before the assembling process starts

1918 Cadillac Type 57, Gardiner, Jefferson County, WA

Conversion. Beverage containers to aviation oxygen cylinders. The first step in the manufacture of high-altitude-flying shatterproof oxygen cylinders in the metal department of a large rubber factory is the forming or stamping of the shell. Stainless steel sheets are blanked or cut into discs(left foreground). Before stamping, these discs are drawn through rolls where a drawing compound is added to both sides to facilitate the forming of the shell. The 750-ton toggle press, shown above, forms a half cylinder in one powerful stroke. Once the half cylinder is formed, it is trimmed and the value-fitting hole is punched into the spherical dome. A cleaning operation later removes the drawing compound. The cylinder halves are now ready for the various welding operations. Firestone, Akron, Ohio
