A poster comes to life. "This is what I call warm hospitality," said Chief Radioman Evans in his dry Georgia manner as the three men stood in 140 degrees of heat looking into the door of an electric furnace. The furnace makes silica steel which is used to make transformer cores. Some of Evans' radio equipment, back at his base, uses transformers whose cores may well have come from this furnace. Allegheny Steel, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. A geology expert of one of the large oil companies U.S. displays two varieties of sand from an oil drilling district. The hand on the left holds dry, oil-less sand, while the one on the right holds sand rich and dark with oil. The latter oil-soaked sand, called "Simpson sand," is the goal of all seekers of oil and finding the sand in a test-boring indicates that is a well is sunk at that place the chances of "striking" oil are good. No longer do oilwell drillers in the U.S. rely on "hit or miss" methods of drilling for oil. Geologists make careful surveys of the surface of the ground to detect those geological characteristics which indicate the presence of oil deposits beneath. The industry's high efficiency has resulted in the production of enormous quantities of oil, a great part of which today propels and lubricates the planes, navies, and mechanized equipment of the United Nations' armed forces
