Detroit, Michigan. Assembly of Rolls Royce engines at the Packard motor car company. Washing the crank case after the studs are driven

Production. Machine guns of various calibers. Walter Newman, operator of a high-speed lathe in a large firearms plant, performs an operation on the barrel of a machine gun. Many women workers are also employed in this plant producing essential weapons for the armed forces

Six stages of fat salvage. Saponification of fats makes glycerine. Glycerine makes explosives and camouflage paints. In this giant soap kettle, in a great industrial plant, fats become soap. When salt is added, the liquid part of this mixture will drop to the bottom of the kettle. That liquid will soon become glycerine

Six stages of fat salvage. Separated from the soap, crude glycerine is purified and repeatedly tested by chemists. The housewife's tablespoonful of fat is now almost ready for the fighting fronts. When 98.6 purity has been achieved, glycerine is sent to ammunition plants, munitions plants, plant factories

Six stages of fat salvage. Shipped in metal drums, the glycerine is no longer recognizable as waste fat. Its nitric and sulphuric acids are added, it becomes deadly nitroglycerine for explosives. When gylcerine is allocated to one of our allies, it is usually shipped in its harmless state

Conversion. Rendering of household fats. Valuable fats from waste household greases are recovered by a pressure process in an expeller at a rendering plant. These fats drain into a settling tank and are later drawn off into tallow storage tanks, from where they are conveyed to a soap plant for the making of soap and glycerin

Conversion. Rendering of household fats. Tallow made from reclaimed kitchen greases is pumped into a tank car from a storage tank at a rendering plant. From here the tallow goes to a soap factory where glycerin is produced as a byproduct of the soap- making process

Proctor and Gamble Distributing Company, Cincinnati, Ohio. Inside of a soap kettle. Soap has to be made before glycerine can be obtained from the waste fat

Conversion. Rendering of household fats. Empty cans from which reclaimed household greases have been removed are shoveled from a vat at a rendering plant. The greases will be rendered for the making of soap and glycerin. These cans, often prepared the way the householder does, will be sent to a detinning plant for the recovery of tin and steel
