Conversion. Copper and brass processing. This is the inlet end of a conveyor furnace. The rolls of strip brass and copper ride through the furnace on a conveyor, and when the metal comes out the other side it is annealed, and ready to be worked; that is rolled to a thinner gauge, or stamped into cup or shell-shaped products by fabricating plants. Chase Brass and Copper Company, Euclid, Ohio

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. Casting a billet from an electric furnace. Modern electric furnaces have helped considerably in speeding the production of brass and other copper alloys for national defense. Here the molten metal is poured or cast from the tilted furnace into a cylindrical mold to form a billet. The billet later is worked into rods, tubes, wires or special shapes for a variety of defense uses. Chase Brass and Copper Company, Euclid, Ohio

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. The inside of a large brass and copper tube mill. Copper tubes are made in many sizes, and in many alloys, and are needed for war production in hundreds of different ways--from small diameter tubing for gas and oil lines in airplanes and tanks and motor cars to large diameter tubes used in construction of our battleships. A tube annealing furnace may be seen to the right. Chase Brass and Copper Company, Euclid, Ohio

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. This is an inverted bull clock, a modern piece of equipment in a brass and copper mill for drawing large diameter wire. As the wire leaves the machine, it is automatically coiled for easy handling. Most frequently it is redrawn to smaller diameters, though there are many uses for heavy wire, too. Chase Brass and Copper Company, Euclid, Ohio

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. Weighing brass scrap. The war program calls for the use of such vast amounts of brass and copper among other metals, that all available scrap must be utilized. Here a truckload of brass trimmings from a sheet mill is being weighed. From here it will go to the casting shop, where it will be remelted and cast again into billets.

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. Brass or copper, as it comes from the rolls, is usually in strips too long for convenient handling. Here motor-driven shears cut the strip to shorter lengths. At the same time the metal is carefully inspected for surface defects. Chase Brass and Copper Company, Euclid, 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

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. In the brass and copper casting shop, the operator of an electric furnace is pouring the molten metal into molds to form shells, or rough tubes, which are later formed into finished tubes. Tubes are formed by casting molten metal into these molds in which a refractory core has been inserted. The molds are mounted on a turntable, which brings them into position to receive the pouring.
