Conversion. Floor waxer plant. One of the few lathes bought by a small Eastern manufacturing firm. Unable to purchase much new machinery, the owner of the company installed and remodelled old equipment to produce war essentials under subcontract. First orders were delivered thirty days after contract, an amoazingly short time considering that conversion of machines took two weeks of it. Floorola Products Inc., York, Pennsylvania

Metal scrap salvage. The rural scrap collection center at Dexter, Michigan was the scene of much activity as the drive sponsored by the War Production Board (WPB) gained headway. The first load dumped here was followed by many others as farmyards yielded tons of old iron and rubber that put money into the pockets of local farmers and much valuable material back into use

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

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

Production. Milling machines and machine castings. It's all a matter of relative angles and turning speeds. Properly set, this gear-cutting machine tool will produce any kind of beveled, spur, hypoid or other kind of gear. The small hypoid bevel gear shown partially cut in the center of the picture will soon become part of another machine tool after it has been heat-treated, ground, lapped and thoroughly tested and checked

Conversion. Food machinery plant. Cutting of spouts for anti-tank guns is the present work of this lathe, shown here at its former job-shaping wooden rollers used with a belt control to carry steaks into the cube steak machine which is this New England plant's normal production.
