Subcontracting aircraft parts. War production is in large measure a story of conversion, a story of using at once facilities already available while newer facilities are being readied. Formerly an airship dock, this huge building--thought to be the largest in the world with no interior supports--is now the scene of many busy shops turning out aircraft sub-assembly parts. Either new housing close to the plant or vastly improved public transportation will eventually have to be supplied, for the tires on the cars of the workers, and perhaps even the cars themselves, will in many instances give in before the end of the present emergency.

This photograph shows how the two halves of a trailer house, delivered individually, are assembled by simply rolling them together on previously prepared foundations which consist of a few posts driven into the ground connected by planks upon which the house halves roll by means of small wooden wheels. Each half is light enough to be towed behind a 3/4 ton truck or passenger car. They come fully equipped with all essential furniture and equipment, either built-in or stored inside during transport. They are connected to each other by a few bolts, while the roof sections meet in ridges over which a common cap is laid. The whole operation may take between one and three hours, including connection to previously prepared utilities. The section or halves measure 26' x 7'9," thus permitting highway transportation without special permits. Any number of sections can be combined. Two- and three-bedroom houses. Recreation buildings, bath houses, and even very large barracks, have been constructed by TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) on the same general plans but using more sections

Government discovers method to preserve film. Scratch resistance, film, particulary the emulsion side, may become damaged through scratching. D. Levinsky of the Bureau is using an instrument which tests the resitance of a film by measuring the width of a scratch produced by a diamond point under a given load. Another method is to put a piece of film in a bottle of sand, revolve the bottle a certain number of times, then measure the haxiness developed. Many commercial treatments designed to increase the hardness of the emulsion have been investigated, 7/8/38

Urges age minimum age limit provisions in Connery-Black Bill. Washington, D.C. June 14. Testifying on the Black-Connery Wage and [Hours] Bill today, Rep. Robert Luce, of Massachusetts, urged the Seante and House Labor Committees to exempt from the wage provisions of the bill all persons under 21 years of age. Luce, who employs almost a hundred women in a clipping bureau he conducts, declared the measure overlooks all the little fellows like himself. He explains this statement by saying that most women employed today do not intend to make a life work out of industry and therefore should be excluded from a minimum wage. He added that because of the money and times used in training women, he loses $3250 everytime one resigns. 6/14/37
