Sea jeeps. Successfully crossing a fast-flowing stream, the Ford-built amphibian, with full complement of four soldiers, easily climbs opposite shore and is ready for any scouting operations. Picture shows maneuvers recently held in the Detroit area, when soldiers from Fort Wayne in full combat dress manned the machines. The controls of the new Army transportation unit for land operations are identical to the quarter-ton, four-wheel drive reconnaissance car, and no steering changeover is required from land to water operation. The new car is being used by U.S. fighting forces in war zones

Aluminum casting. These castings are being loaded onto a sandblast table prior to the actual sandblasting operation. Conversion of this large Midwest aluminum foundry to production of war essentials has already taken place. This factory is producing aluminum equipment for Uncle Sam's war effort, under subcontract to other factories producing war items. Destination of the finished aluminum products is kept secret, but they'll probably end up as jeeps and airplane engines. Aluminum Industries Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio
