Conversion. Floor waxer plant. He's not drawing a bead on an enemy ship, but he's hitting at the Axis just the same. Formerly a Work Projects Administration timekeeper (WPA), this employee of a small Eastern manufacturing firm is now producing small parts for America's war machine, due to the company's subcontract for defense work.

Conversion. Floor waxer plant. One of the few lathes bought by a small Eastern manufacturing firm. Unable to purchase much new machinery, the owner of the company installed and remodelled old equipment to produce war essentials under subcontract. First orders were delivered thirty days after contract, an amoazingly short time considering that conversion of machines took two weeks of it. Floorola Products Inc., York, Pennsylvania

Conversion. Floor waxer plant. No more floor polishers will be produced by this small Eastern manufacturing company, whose entire resources are being converted to defense Production. Bench workers will henceforth be women, if the owner's plans are realized, so that his male operators can be released for heavy-duty machine work. Floorola Products Inc., York, Pennsylvania

Conversion. Floor waxer plant. These twenty-year-old lathes are producing equipment for Uncle Sam's armed forces twenty-two hours a day. Alive to the possibilities of converting old equipment to defense usage, the owner of this small Eastern factory bought and remodelled old equipment which is proving its mettle in 1942. Note overhead power-driven machinery. Floorola Products Inc., York, Pennsylvania

Conversion. Floor waxer plant. The sugar shortage brought this worker back to the lathe. Employed now by a small Eastern manufacturing firm which used to make floor waxers but is now completely converted to war production, this worker had only a trade school course in mechanics taken fifteen years ago as background for his new job. He operated his own confectionery business until the sugar shortage forced him into a new field. But he's glad to be aiming gun-sight parts at the Axis. Floorola Products Inc., York, Pennsylvania

Conversion. Floor waxer plant. Formerly producing floor waxing and polishing machines, this small Eastern factory is now one of the America's myriad plants devoted to production of small machine parts for war purposes. Foreseeing possibilities of shortage of aluminum (necessary for polishing equipment), this factory's owner sought defense subcontracts many months ago, he is now operating twenty-two hours a day with a crew of thirty workers, a distinct improvement over his previous eight hours, three-worker days.

Conversion. Floor waxer plant. He used to be a weaver and repair man for looms, but he's one of Uncle Sam's defense workers now. Employed by a small Eastern floor waxer manufacturing firm, this worker now spends ninty-nine percent of his time working on small parts for gun mounts. Here, however, he's working on the remainder of the floor waxer stock left in the plant. Orders for the shop's peacetime products can still be filled from stock, but no new waxers are being made.

Conversion. Floor waxer plant. Now making machine gun cover plates, this machine was converted from a line shaft drive to motor drive when a small Eastern manufacturing company converted its product from floor waxers to small parts for war equipment. Unable to purchase new equipment for his defense work, the owner bought second-hand equipment and remodelled it. Delivery of first orders was made thirty days after contract, an amazingly short time considering that conversion of the machinery took two weeks of it. Floorola Products Inc., York, Pennsylvania

Conversion. Floor waxer plant. A modern Molly Pitcher of the machine, this secretary-treasurer of a small Eastern manufacturing company knows as much about drills and lathes as the oldest employee around the place. And it was in part through her foresight and initiative that this floor waxer plant was converted to war production. She's shown here with a youthful worker who is operating one of the recently converted machines. Floorola Products Inc., York, Pennsylvania

Conversion. Floor waxer plant. This drill press and all other machines of a small Eastern floor waxer company had to be rebuilt to accomodate defense production parts. Complete retooling was accomplished in two weeks, a phenomenally short time for this job. Credit for this speed falls to both management and workers who entered into the job in a "beat the Axis or bust" frame of mind. Floorola Products Inc., York, Pennsylvania
