Barrage balloon manufacture. Fin-shaping cords. These workers are inside the rear-right horizontal fin of a barrage balloon, checking the ropes which give the fin shape and hold it together. Since barrage balloons are non-rigid and entirely collapsible, these ropes come closest to being the "back-bone" for the gigantic "defenders of cities." General Tire and Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio
