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. Above is a completed shell ejector getting its final testing. The brass bottom of a navy shell is applied on the testing stand, with the spring mechanism which actually ejects the shell getting the primary test. Spillman Engineering Company, North Tonawanda, New York
