Conversion. Frying pans to aircraft parts.

Forty-two keys to victory. This man was once a skilled worker in a typewriter factory. He's still a skilled worker in the same factory, but instead of typewriters he's now assembling war items. Although Army and Navy demands for typewriters are increasing, the manufacute of these machines will have ceased by the end of the year.
