Auto conversion to airplane engines. On the site of an automobile assembly line, this battery of Bullard boring machines used in manufacturing of airplane engines, now stands. With normal operations of this automobile factory suspended for the duration, conversion to war production was a gigantic task involving remodelling of machinery, removal of old and installation of new equipment and extensive rebuilding of the plant itself. These boring machines are used to rough cylinder barrels of airplane engines before heat treatment is applied. Chevrolet, Buffalo, New York

With one hundred percent conversion of this automobile factory to production of airplane engines, the gigantic task of remodelling old machinery, removal of old and installation of new equipment, and extensive rebuilding of the plant itself was formidable--but speedy.

Carloads of scrap material torn out of the plant are shown here at a siding back of the factory. Chevrolet, Buffalo, New York
