Conversion. Electric shaver plant. This Norton type C six-inch semi-automatic cylindrical grinder in a New England plant used to grind motor shafts for the firm's normal production of electric dry shavers. It is now grinding spring collets which are used in turning machines to hold the work being turned. Such machines are vitally needed for the war production effort. The conversion of the machine was accomplished by replacing the one-inch vitrified aluminum oxide wheel shown here with a three-inch wheel and by enlarging the feed of the cutting solution. Tolerances on this war work are only .002 inches as compared with the tolerances on the normal production of .0002 inches (see pix #D-2974). Schick Inc., Stamford, Connecticut

Conversion. Electric shaver plant. This Norton type C six-inch semi-automatic cylindrical grinder in a New England plant normally turns out these motor shafts for the firm's electric shavers. It has since been converted to the grinding of spring collets that are used in machine tools being produced to aid the war production effort. The conversion was easily accomplished by replacing the one-inch vitrified aluminum oxide wheel shown here with a three-inch wheel and by enlarging the feed of grinding solution. In this operation normal tolerance is desired (see pix #D-2975). Schick Inc., Stamford, Connecticut

That's a jukebox part under the drill but as soon as the jukeboxes now in the process of completion have been shipped out, this firm will devote a large percentage of its time and space to production of electrical devices to be used by the Army and Navy.

Oil burners to machine gun parts. Using a micrometer to check this small part for an army machine gun, this worker must achieve tolerance not greater than 1/10,000 of an inch. This upper New York state factory, which formerly produced oil burners, is under contract for 75,000 small precision parts for the Army. Its employees are super-skilled workmen, many of whom have been with the firm for decades. Reif-Rexoil Company, Buffalo, New York

Conversion. Floor waxer plant. The sugar shortage brought this worker back to the lathe. Employed now by a small Eastern manufacturing firm which used to make floor waxers but is now completely converted to war production, this worker had only a trade school course in mechanics taken fifteen years ago as background for his new job. He operated his own confectionery business until the sugar shortage forced him into a new field. But he's glad to be aiming gun-sight parts at the Axis. Floorola Products Inc., York, Pennsylvania

Conversion. Floor waxer plant. He used to be a weaver and repair man for looms, but he's one of Uncle Sam's defense workers now.
