Gloucester, Massachusetts. The crew of "Old Glory" pulls up a sizeable haul of fish. Almost all of this catch will be filleted and frozen for military and lend-lease shipment. Of the total packs in the United States, 60 percent of the salmon and 80 percent of the sardine and mackerel are consumed by the armed forces here and abroad

Conversion. Food machinery plant. John J. Morris used to cut steel disc covers with his universal milling machine. These disc covers were part of the cube steak machines which are the normal products of the New England plant where he is employed. Today, however, Morris uses the same machine, tooled over for war subcontract work, for the cutting of large hexagonal nuts for a government arsenal. For cube steak machinery there was only one milling wheel, instead of the two shown above. "Hexing a nut" is a very simple job with a machine designed to shape the nut in a single operation, but such a machine is not available and time is short. Morris, therefore, shifts the round steel stock three times, cutting two sides at a time. Cube Steak Machine Company, Boston, Massachusetts
