Production. Copper (refining). Casting house in a large copper refining operation. Here sheets of pure copper, formed by electrolysis, are melted and cast into ingots. Large amounts of copper are produced for the war effort at the El Paso, Texas plant of Phelps-Dodge Refining Company

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

Baltimore, Maryland. The "work" cards, by means of which constant check is kept on what is being done with each block of Social Security Account Applications, are punched in the Production and Control Section. Each hole in each "work" or peration, card represents a letter or a numeral. When translated, these give necessary pertinent data for the daily permenent work records of the Social Security Board Records Office in Baltimore. The photograph above shows a worker in the Production and Control Section of the Records Office punching "work", or operation cards

Women in industry. Aircraft motor workers. Employer resistance to the hiring of women workers in war industries is rapidly becoming a thing of the past, and this young employee of a Midwest aircraft motor plant embodies the reasons for this change of heart. With no previous industrial experience, she mastered the operation of this compressed-air machine in record time, and is now polishing airplane motor parts with speed and skill
