Conversion. Merry-go-round plant. These hands used to turn out merry-go-rounds to gladden the hearts of the nation's children. The carrousel plant in which they work is now engaged in producing war parts on subcontracts from army and navy contractors. These skilled hands belong to sixty-five-year-old Herman Jagow, whose wood carving skill delighted thousands of children riding the horses of merry-go-rounds. Here he is doing lathe work in landing gear housing. Spillman Engineering Company, North Tonawanda, New York
