Conversion. Food machinery plant. Back to aid in his country's war effort is Phineas Davenport Allen, seventy-eight-year-old mechanic who worked on steering riggings for submarines during World War I. Today he is employed by a New England company, whose normal peacetime product is cube steak machinery. The drill press he operates was a valuable part of the company's peacetime equipment, is even more valuable today in the speeding of work on war subcontracts. New tooling and a large drill have fitted this press for the drilling of screw machine parts needed in new machine tools for war production. Cube Steak Machine Company, Boston, Massachusetts
