Conversion. Tire plant. This vulcanizing unit, largest in the world, was designed for the vulcanizing of giant tires used on earth-moving machinery, but is now helping out the war program by vulcanizing self-sealing gas tanks for the nation's war planes. The mold containing the tank has been lowered into the vulcanizing unit and the huge cover is being lowered into position before the heat is turned on
