Production. Milling machines and machine castings. Many minds, many heads, many skills went into the construction of this large, hydraulically-operated milling machine. The slender shaft just below the figure "100" in the upper right is a tracer finger, so called because it feels its way gently around the edge of a pattern so that the cutters reproduce the pattern exactly in tough steel. This tracer, so sensitive that it can be deflected with the edge of a piece of cardboard, controls the movement of tons of machinery exerting fifteen or twenty horsepower of cutting force

Like many other farm wives whose husbands are engaged in war work, Mrs. William Wood manages a 120 acre farm in Colona, Michigan, with little male assistance. With a crop of corn, tomatoes and rasberries to harvest, she still finds time to care for her own Victory garden and to attend a first-aid class.

Agriculture. Women on farms. There's a feminine hand at the controls of many of America's activities these days. Like many other farm wives whose husbands are engaged in war work, Mrs. William Wood manages a 120 acre farm in Colona, Michigan, with little male assistance.
