U.S. record production of lend-lease locomotive. America recently built for the British Ministry of Supply in the fastest time, a locomotive for the transportation of military supplies in the near east. The engine, incorporating many British features, was planned and produced in one day less than three months. Britain previously held the record, established in 1940, when an engine for the use of the B.E.F. in France was built in five months

Shipbuilding. "Liberty" ships. Ships for war has meant the rehabilitation of numerous odd pieces of equipment unused for long periods, both in shipyards and in various other plants engaged in production of parts for ships. A discarded steam locomotive in a large Eastern plant is being turned up for use once again. All parts are prefabricated in this huge Eastern plant which formerly turned out freight cars. The completed sections are then carried six miles to the ways on flat cars. Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards Inc., Baltimore, Maryland

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. Railroad cars stand on a side track ready to receive cargoes of gasoline stored in large spherical tanks at the refinery of one of the principal U.S. oil companies. The cars will speed the gasoline across the American continent to seaports where it will be loaded onto tanker ships for conveyance overseas to the armed forces of the United Nations. Gasoline totals have reached new records since the U.S. entered the war. Besides the enormous amounts required to fuel the 180,000 planes American factories have turned out since December 7, 1941, large supplies of fuel are needed for naval vessels, merchant ships, tanks and mechanized units in the field. It takes 25,000 gallons of gasoline to move a single U.S. Army tank division 100 miles (160 kilometers)
