Conversion. Food machinery plant. Operator of this universal milling machine is John J. Morris shown here cutting steel disc covers for his company's normal product--cube steak machines. Today, Morris used the same machine adapted to war subcontract work- -the cutting of large hexagonal nuts for a government arsenal. "Hexing a nut" is a very simple job with a machine designed to shape the entire piece in one operation, but such a machine is not available and time is short. Morris, therefore, shifts the round piece of steel stock three times, cutting two sides in each operation. Cube Steak Machine Company, Boston, Massachusetts

Conversion. Food machinery plant. Back to aid in his country's war effort is Phineas Davenport Allen, seventy-eight-year-old mechanic who worked on steering riggings for submarines during World War I. Today he is employed by a New England company, whose normal peacetime product is cube steak machinery. The drill press he operates was a valuable part of the company's peacetime equipment, is even more valuable today in the speeding of work on war subcontracts. New tooling and a large drill have fitted this press for the drilling of screw machine parts needed in new machine tools for war production. Cube Steak Machine Company, Boston, Massachusetts

Conversion. Food machinery plant. Cutting of spouts for anti-tanks guns such as those shown in the foreground is the present work of this lathe, formerly used in the production of cube steak machines in a New England plant which is now turning out a number of parts for war machinery on subcontract. Conversion of this machine, and the stepping up of its speed required only a few hours. The operator, Ralph Hutchings, has also turned his skill to war work. He formerly operated a lathe in the production of cube steak machinery. Cube Steak Machine Company, Boston, Massachusetts

Conversion. Food machinery plant. This turret lathe was purchased second-hand from a nearby shoe factory to speed production on war subcontracts held by a New England plant which formerly turned out cube steak machinery. Edwin Becker is checking on a retooling job in progress which will eventually fit the new lathe to thread three-and-a-quarter-inch hexagonal nuts. Becker is checking the measurements of the tool hole in the turret with those of the specially-built tap which will do the threading. Cube Steak Machine Company, Boston, Massachusetts

Conversion. Food machinery plant. John J. Morris used to cut steel disc covers with his universal milling machine. These disc covers were part of the cube steak machines which are the normal products of the New England plant where he is employed. Today, however, Morris uses the same machine, tooled over for war subcontract work, for the cutting of large hexagonal nuts for a government arsenal. For cube steak machinery there was only one milling wheel, instead of the two shown above. "Hexing a nut" is a very simple job with a machine designed to shape the nut in a single operation, but such a machine is not available and time is short.

Jalopies for defense. It won't be an auto body for long now. Here it is being placed in a powerful hydraulic baling press, soon to emerge as a small cube of tightly compressed metal. The steel is bundled in this way not alone to facilitate shipment but also, and more important, to prevent the burning of sheet metal when it is exposed to the terrific heat in an open hearth steel furnace

Seating the valve and seaming the tube. After each tube is snipped off at the proper length, it passes to this worker who places the open and over a sleeve, and forces the valve into position right in the center of reinforcing patch. This makes doubly sure that the tube is absolutely leak-proof. When this is done, the cube can be seamed shut--the operation which is taking place here. The two ends are butted together, the sticky rubber is bonded together under pressure, and passed on to the curing molds for vulcanizing. Firestone (General), Akron, Ohio

Conversion. Food machinery plant. In the background is a cube steak machine, normal product of a New England plant now doing work on various war subcontracts. In the foreground are twenty-four items typical of those this plant has been doing to turn out for the war effort after certain retooling and conversion work had been done on its machinery. These changes are necessarily simple, for this company is still filling army and navy orders for the cube steak machine. Including among the twenty-four items are aluminum crankcases, steel spouts for anti-tank guns, bronze flanges, nuts and various screw machine parts.
