Aluminum casting. These castings are being loaded onto a sandblast table prior to the actual sandblasting operation. Conversion of this large Midwest aluminum foundry to production of war essentials has already taken place. This factory is producing aluminum equipment for Uncle Sam's war effort, under subcontract to other factories producing war items. Destination of the finished aluminum products is kept secret, but they'll probably end up as jeeps and airplane engines. Aluminum Industries Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. This picture shows brass rod coming from the extrusion machine. Red hot brass billets (solid cylindrical castings) are pushed by tremendous force through a steel die in the extrusion press to form rods of various shapes, or hollow shells that are subsequently made into tubing. The metal is ejected from the extrusion press like tooth paste from a tube. Chase Brass and Copper Company, Euclid, Ohio

DeLand pool. Improvised foundry, Daytona Beach. Experts said they couldn't make precision aluminum and brass castings in this improvised Florida foundry, but it's being done to the exact specifications of a war contract. In Daytona Beach's three-man foundry. A city fireman, a young electrician, and a foundryman are casting important aircraft equipment for the DeLand industrial pool. City fireman J.L. Clayton became curious about the melting of aluminum and brass, and built himself a hobby workshop in the back of the Daytona fire station. It grew into this foundry on the edge of town where, in addition to pool castings, they are turning out a new type of air raid siren

To determine the correct amount of alloys necessary for desired results in the making of castings and other uses, the U.S. Bureau of Standards is conducting daily tests. 600 different portions of the alloy are used at the present time. The tests are made with brass bars which are melted in a high frequency induction furnace and the temperatures are recorded before and during the pouring into the molds.
