Auto conversion to airplane engines. Some of the equipment impossible to convert from automobile engine manufacture to production of airplane motors is shown back of a huge automobile factory. A dismantled paint booth (left foreground) is among the scrap. In the background, against the rising glass roofs of the plant, tar-covered sheds house valuable machines which could not be converted, and are being stored for the duration to make room for the new war equipment. Chevrolet, Buffalo, New York
