Barrage balloon manufacture. Neck and neck in the stretch. Appearing like race horses galloping down each side of a long strip of barrage balloon fabric, the worker with the scissors apparently finishing ahead of the fellow with the electric fabric cutter. Actually the scissors are not used for cutting, but for "touch up clipping" only, since the power cutter is so much faster. After these men have cut the patterns, the pieces are sent to "seamers" who assemble the individual pattern pieces into strips of "gores," which in turn are assembled into completed barrage balloons. General Tire and Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio

Barrage balloon manufacture. Seamers at work. Putting rubber cement on both surfaces which are to be fastened together, these workers assemble individual pattern pieces into strips or "gores" for barrage balloons being made for army balloon corps. By an ingenious arrangement of folds, strips nearly a hundred feet long can be handled by each worker on the table in front of him. General Tire and Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio

Barrage balloon manufacture. Rubber tailor shop. Using a tailor's electric cutter--a speedup suggestion from one of the young workers--these workers slice through several thicknesses of rubber fabric as they cut the patterns for the strips and "gores" for making barrage balloons. Marked, cut, assembled and seamed on long tables, the strips are taken from the tables to the assembly floor to be fashioned into a gigantic gas balloon for the protection of our cities.
