Conversion. Beverage containers to aviation oxygen cylinders. Once the two-half cylinders are joined together into a complete shatterproof high altitude flying oxygen cylinder on the production line of a huge rubber factory now producing metal essential for the Army, all traces of inside weld scale must be removed to prevent contamination of oxygen. In this process, a special chemical solution is drawn through the cylinder at controlled temperature and all foreign matter is removed. Firestone, Akron, Ohio

Significance: The Arista Mill complex is the oldest physical reminder of three forgotten elements in the history of Winston-Salem: Although the development and reputation of this city has been dominated by tobacco manufacturing, its industrial foundations were laid by the textile industry; Although the Moravian town of Salem is celebrated today for its craft traditions, it played an equally significant role in the industrial revolution and the transition to industries of mass production; Finally, although the contributions of well-known families such as Hanes, Gray, and Reynolds have long been recognized, the achievements of the Fries family of Salem in manufacturing, banking, and transportation were also vital to the development and growth of this Piedmont city.
