Conversion. Electric shaver plant. This New England whose normal product is electric dry shavers is now turning out parts for machine tools which will find their place in the war production effort. This bank of Norton grinders which formerly ground motor shafts are now grinding small parts for tools. Tolerances on the war work are only .002 inches whereas the former work demanded much closer tolerances up to .0002 inches. The conversion was accomplished by putting on new grinding wheels, by minor changes in the head and by increasing the feed of the cutting solution. Schick Inc., Stamford, Connecticut
