Production. Milling machines and machine castings. Pouring a large mold is a fiery sight. To the left, flames are shooting from an escape hole -- caused by gas generated by the contact of iron with the relatively cool sand, graphite, linseed oil and other ingredients involved in the mold structure. The man at the left is wielding a skimmer to hold back any impurities floating on the surface of the ladle iron

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

Production. Milling machines and machine castings. When a full ladle comes along, there must be enough molds ready to take the whole load. Nowhere is Time so stern a master as it is in the foundry. Iron must be poured when it's right -- or thrown out, cooled, and returned to the cupola. Location: a large Midwest tool plant

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

A poster comes to life. Almost dwarfed by the ladle which pours molten steel into ingot molds below, Sergeant Vineyard, George Woolslayer and Chief Evans stand in awe of the giant machine which processes steel into armaments. Woolslayer sums it up like this: "We're making the stuff for you to fight with to protect us." Thus America's men and her machines work together for victory. Allegheny-Ludlum Steel, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

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
