Shipbuilding. "Liberty" ships. Use of a former Pullman car plant for the prefabrication of many sections used in the ships being built at a nearby yard means the saving of many valuable months in our shipbuilding program. This man is a brakeman on a train carrying assembled sections from the plant to the yard. All parts are prefabricated in this huge Eastern plant which formerly turned out freight cars. The completed sections are then carried six miles to the ways on flat cars. Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards Inc., Baltimore, Maryland

Conversion. Electric shaver plant. This New England whose normal product is electric dry shavers is now turning out parts for machine tools which will find their place in the war production effort. This bank of Norton grinders which formerly ground motor shafts are now grinding small parts for tools. Tolerances on the war work are only .002 inches whereas the former work demanded much closer tolerances up to .0002 inches. The conversion was accomplished by putting on new grinding wheels, by minor changes in the head and by increasing the feed of the cutting solution. Schick Inc., Stamford, Connecticut

Production. Airplane manufacture, general. Sheet metal plane parts, previously cut on a router are pressed to all the required shapes on Masonite dies in a 3,000 ton hydraulic press in the Inglewood, California, plant of North American Aviation, Incorporated. Four crews of girls, one at each side, feed and operate the press. The actual forming operation takes only about ten seconds. This plant produces the battle-tested B-25 ("Billy Mitchell") bomber, used in General Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, and the P-51 ("Mustang") fighter plane, which was first brought into prominence by the British raid on Dieppe

De Land pool. Bits and parts. The members of the De Land, Florida pool solved their welding problem on their first war contract with typical American ingenuity. F.W.
