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 in subcontracts from army and navy contractors. Here the hands, which belong to Otto Andre, are bending crate hooks for the packing of airplane engines for export. The bulldozer was used in peacetime work, has since been converted to war work. Spillman Engineering Company, North Tonawanda, New York
