Jalopies for defense. Here are some of the parts stripped from junked automobiles in auto graveyards. These parts were removed from cars before they were sent to a scrap iron dealer, who will process them and ship them out to steel mills. Some of these parts will be resold, but the vast majority, whether sold or not, will eventually end up in the furnace of an open hearth steel mill. There it will be melted down and combined with virgin metals to provide the fine quality steel needed for defense production

Conservation. Scrap iron and steel. Auto "graveyards" where old worn out automobiles are stripped of usable parts. Non-ferrous materials are burned out and the steel chassis and bodies are sent on to scrap iron and steel dealers. Such yards as these supply tons of scrap iron, steel and rubber yearly which is now being used to alleviate shortages in

Jalopies for defense. These cubes of scrap metal were once the bodies of junked automobiles, rotting in ugly auto graveyards from coast to coast. They will now provide some of the millions of tons of scrap steel so badly needed for defense production. They are baled up in this manner to prevent their burning away when they are thrown into the blazing inferno of an open hearth steel furnace. Open hearth furnaces are fed with approximately 50 percent scrap steel

A poster comes to life. The men pass the scrap charge for a battery of open-hearth furnaces, piles into small buckets which are emptied into the furnaces by an electrically operated shoveling mechanism. The line of buckets at the left shows what is happening to the auto hubs, axles, and drive shafts which a few months ago were strewn over the countryside in auto graveyards. The bucket-line at the right contains mill waste, which is carefully saved and reused
