Wrapping in cloth prevents sticking. Reels of fabric may be stored for a few moments or a few days, wrapped in cloth to prevent it from sticking to itself when rolled up. These reels are brought from storage to machines such as this, in which the fabric is out on a powered bias cutter to exact length for one ply of a tire. This worker is making a layer of two plies, with the cords running at right angles, one laid on top of the other. This layer will later be used by a tire builder in building up the plies of his tire to the required number. Firestone (General Tires), Akron, Ohio

Production. B-17F heavy bombers. One of the many women who have become excellent plane technicians at the Long Beach, California, plant of Douglas Aircraft Company.

This saucer is matched by another on the far side of the tire which works on the other side at the same time, assuring perfect balance of the finished tire. The saucers may be swiveled in every direction to press the tire at right angles or lightly at a tangent. Firestone (General Tires), Akron, Ohio

Production. Milling machines and machine castings. It's all a matter of relative angles and turning speeds. Properly set, this gear-cutting machine tool will produce any kind of beveled, spur, hypoid or other kind of gear. The small hypoid bevel gear shown partially cut in the center of the picture will soon become part of another machine tool after it has been heat-treated, ground, lapped and thoroughly tested and checked
