Conversion. Food machinery plant. Operator of this universal milling machine is John J. Morris shown here cutting steel disc covers for his company's normal product--cube steak machines. Today, Morris used the same machine adapted to war subcontract work- -the cutting of large hexagonal nuts for a government arsenal. "Hexing a nut" is a very simple job with a machine designed to shape the entire piece in one operation, but such a machine is not available and time is short. Morris, therefore, shifts the round piece of steel stock three times, cutting two sides in each operation. Cube Steak Machine Company, Boston, Massachusetts

Auto conversion to airplane engines. With one hundred percent conversion of this automobile factory to production of airplane engines, the gigantic task of remodelling old machinery, removal of old and installation of new equipment, and extensive rebuilding of the plant itself was formidable--but speedy. Under terms of its contract, production was not scheduled until October, but Herulean efforts of management and labor reduced this to early spring of this year. Carloads of scrap material torn out of the plant are shown here at a siding back of the factory. Chevrolet, Buffalo, New York
