Barrage balloon manufacture. Spider and the flies. Putting last touches on a completed barrage balloon are these workers and their supervisor (standing). To inspect the bag for leaks, the light inside is turned off, leaving the workers in a midnight gloom. Then a co-worker on the outside takes a bright light, and works along the length of the entire balloon, back and forth, until he has covered every inch. The tiniest pinhole shines forth like a bright star in the sky, and these alert inspectors spot it and repair it. Cloth moccasins are worn inside the bag, or else stocking feet--to avoid chafing the fabric. General Tire and Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio
