A poster comes to life. Like liquid fire, molten steel is poured from an electric furnace into a ladle. When drawn, forged, treated and cast, this red river will be a tank, a ship's hull, or a hundred guns for men like Sergeant Vineyard and Chief Evans to use against the enemy. George Woolslayer, welder at Allegheny-Ludlum, explains this process in steel-making to the servicemen during their visit to the mill

It is composed largely of limestone, which carries with it various other impurities in the metal. In the foreground is a huge ladle into which the molten steel will be poured after the slag has run off

Fiberglass manufacture, Owens-Corning, Toledo, Ohio. In a plant of the Owens-Corning Fiberglass Corporation, a worker stands ready with his iron ladle to transport molten glass from the furnace to the machine that forms it into glass marbles from which it is converted into glass fibers. As one of the men behind the men behind the guns, his work is an essential step in the production of fiberglass yarns being used in a wide variety of military and naval applications

Steel manufacture, Allegheny-Ludlum. Ladling it out! These workers are casting ingots from the ladle into which a thirty-five ton electric furnace has just poured its molten steel. The "hot tops" allow for shrinkage of the steel in the ingots bodies. If these should be any slag left in the molten steel, it will rise into these hot tops, since slag is lighter than the steel
