Transformer manufacture. Preparation of insulating board used between copper coils on distribution transformers is done by women employees of a large Eastern electrical company. These young women are extremely valuable to Uncle Sam, because the product they are making is used in almost every phase of the armament program. Westinghouse, Sharon, Pennsylvania

Steel manufacture, Allegheny-Ludlum. This is a four-high hot rolling mill, which reduces hot steel into ribbons about thirty-five inches wide, to be used either in coils or cut lengths. The steel enters the first of these electrically driven rollers at a thickness of about six inches and emerges, three times as fast, from the fourth only about two inches thick

Transformer manufacture. Granddaddy to 57, Henry Bert (right) has been with a large Eastern electrical plant for almost half a century. Now he's as important to the war as though he were on the front line, for he's one of the many workers who manufacture transformers, essential to defense. He's shown here with a youthful employee checking transformer coils. Westinghouse, Sharon, Pennsylvania

Conversion. Rendering of household fats. Cans filled with reclaimed household grease are dumped into pressure cookers at a rendering plant. Often they are prepared the way the householder does. The cooker melts the greases, and the empty cans are removed for detinning. Other types of cookers remove grease from cans by steam plates and hot coils, eliminating the necessity for putting the cans into the cooker

Transformer manufacture. When completed, this transformer will supply electric furnaces with the power needed to produce steel for Uncle Sam's ships and tanks and guns. The cooling coils pictured here are made of copper. A new process of forced oil cooling adds efficiency to these coilings; oil through these tubes at relatively high speed, cooling is greatly improved, and a larger lead current can be carried through the copper windings, thereby increasing the output of the transformer.
