Bantam, Connecticut. The Bantam airplane observation post is on a hill in the northern part of town, an old shack moved there from the property of Bernard C. Roeberg, real estate man and principal of Bantam School. Insulation of the walls and other work on the interior was not yet completed when this picture was taken. Watcher is Charles D. Kilbourne, a local dairy farmer and construction man. The post is manned twenty-four hours daily, and many of the watchers are workers in Bantam war industries

Chickamauga Dam and powerhouse. View of generator hall, looking towards reception room end. Upper row of three large windows is overlook for reception room. Three windows beneath are those of control room (compare with K 2313). Balcony for communication and view in front of control room windows. Roof is carried by rigid steel arches which spring from crane rail level; steel purlins, exposed precast concrete slab. Windows of hall are glass brick for insulation. Translucent plastic discs suspended from standard highboy lighting units conceal view or direct reflection of filaments and reflect spill light onto ceiling, thus generally brightening the space. Floor is ceramic tile; walls, glazed structural tile up to crame rail, exposed concrete above

Fuel conservation. Home insulation conserves fuel. Every homeowner can get behind his government's efforts to conserve fuel whether he heats his home with oil or coal, and both are strategically important. Fuel savings can be effected by keeping temperatures at reasonable levels, closing off unused rooms, and insulating in various ways. Windows can be weather stripped. Conservation of fuel will help release railroad and other transportation facilities for the movement of fighting materials

Guntersville Dam and powerhouse. Generator hall. Roof is supported by trusses with arched bottom chords, concealed by ceiling made up of asbestos boards on steel furring. Ceiling also serves as insulation and plenum chamber and permits recessing of highbay reflectors which are louvered at bottom to eliminate glare. These reflectors furnish the main working light and throw the generators upon which they are concentrated into strong relief; general illumination of the space comes from indirect reflectors concealed behind the crane relief and turned towards the ceiling. Floor is ceramic tile; wall, glazed structural tile up to ceiling, but of lighter color above crane rail
