Shipbuilding. "Liberty" ships. Wooden templates are used as patterns for the laying out of a number of steel plates. This worker is carrying the template for a gun foundation from the mold loft to the plate working section. All parts are prefabricated in this huge Eastern plant which formerly turned out freight cars. The completed sections are then carried six miles to the ways on flat cars.
