Steel manufacture, Allegheny-Ludlum. This man is determined that there be no halt in production because of electrical power difficulties. He's a steel mill electrician, and his job is tremendously important in the maintenance of maximum efficiency throughout all the various processes of steel production

Steel manufacture, Allegheny-Ludlum. Back into production go these carloads of scrap metal. The melting of alloy steels for defense work requires that steel mill scrapyards such as this be constantly filled. The overhead magnet deposits the scrap in a loader which carries it to the open hearth furnace. About fifty percent of scrap steel is used in open hearth production

Steel alloy manufacture. Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corporation, Brackenridge, Pennsylvania. Power for the wheels of defense industry. The throbbing heart of this plant where scrap iron and steel are convert into alloy steels for the national defense production program. Heavy wires carry current to the huge electric melting furnaces

Steel manufacture, Allegheny-Ludlum. Scrap from areas near the steel mill is delivered by motor truck. The melting of alloy steel for defense production necessitates constant delivery of scrap iron and steel to the mills. The overhead magnet will deposit the steel in a loader, which then carries it to an open hearth or electric furnace. In the neighborhood of forty percent of all steel produced comes from scrap metal

Steel manufacture, Allegheny-Ludlum. Here is one of the men upon whom depends the success of our effort to produce for the boys in uniform. He is a steel mill maintenance man on his way to repair a breakdown. It's his job to see to it that nothing interferes with our defense production

Steel alloy manufacture. Allegheny Ludlum Steel Corporation, Brackenridge, Pennsylvania. Open hearth steel is also made at this plant. Here a worker sits at the controls of the charging mechanism for loading materials and elements into the furnace. This open hearth furnace has a capacity of about 100 tons per heat

Steel manufacture, Allegheny-Ludlum. A rigid schedule, though they don't cover much ground. These men operate a locomotive inside the plant grounds, hauling scrap and other ingredients to the open hearth and electric furnaces for melting and refining

Steel manufacture, Allegheny-Ludlum. This doesn't look very impressive, just a pile of rock. Well, that's what it is, a pile of limesone, but since limestone is the main ingredient for the refining of high quality steels, heaps of rock such as these mighty important factors in the maintenance of defense production

YB-17 bombardment squadron, Langley Field, Virginia. Top-notch performance of our big bombers is made a matter of certainty by the ground crews of the Air Force. A soldier-mechanic at Langley Field, Virginia makes an engine adjustment on a mighty YB-17 bomber under the critical eye of a sergeant

Steel production. Driving hard for iron production. There's plenty of activity in the row of boiler house stacks, in the roaring blast furnaces and the steel trestle that serves them. Republic, Youngstown

Conservation. Scrap iron and steel. A building truckload of discarded automobiles stripped of all usable parts and non-ferrous materials is delivered to a scrap iron dealer's processing plant in Baltimore, Maryland. This steel will be baled in huge hydraulic presses and sent to steel mills to feed the ever hungry furnaces now turning out steel for the national defense production program

Salvage. Requisitioning auto graveyards. Tons of scrap at the auto graveyard of the Lenox Motor Company, Colmar Manor, Maryland were withheld from the war effort. Donovan, the owner, refused to sell at established junk prices. The material has since been requisitioned by the U.S. government

Butte, Montana. Trucks waiting for the beginning of the scrap salvage campaign

Columbia Steel Company at Geneva, Utah. Partly finished open hearth furnaces and stacks for a steel mill under construction which will produce vitally needed steel

A poster comes to life. "Meet the guys who shoot 'em." George Woolslayer introduces a group of open-hearth furnace men to his poster pals, Evans and Vineyard, who are getting a first-hand view of production for war. Although they knew how to shoot guns and drive jeeps before they came to Allegheny-Ludlum, they're seeing for the first time the kind of Americans who make these things: skilled and semi-skilled workers, tireless men who can work for hours in terrific heat. Allegheny-Ludlum Steel, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
