Bofors forty-millimeter mounts. Gears for guns-for-victory. Hundreds of these precision cut gears roll off specially designed gear-cutters daily in the Bofors plant of a large rubber factory. When assembled, they'll be part of the Bofors forty- millimeter anti-aircraft gun mounts and carriages, some of the war essentials now manufactured in a plant whose sole product used to be tires for the family sedan

Conversion. Beverage containers to aviation oxygen cylinders. Once the two-half cylinders are joined together into a complete shatterproof high altitude flying oxygen cylinder on the production line of a huge rubber factory now producing metal essential for the Army, all traces of inside weld scale must be removed to prevent contamination of oxygen. In this process, a special chemical solution is drawn through the cylinder at controlled temperature and all foreign matter is removed. Firestone, Akron, Ohio

Conversion. Beverage containers to aviation oxygen cylinders. The first step in the manufacture of high-altitude-flying shatterproof oxygen cylinders in the metal department of a large rubber factory is the forming or stamping of the shell. Stainless steel sheets are blanked or cut into discs(left foreground). Before stamping, these discs are drawn through rolls where a drawing compound is added to both sides to facilitate the forming of the shell. The 750-ton toggle press, shown above, forms a half cylinder in one powerful stroke. Once the half cylinder is formed, it is trimmed and the value-fitting hole is punched into the spherical dome. A cleaning operation later removes the drawing compound. The cylinder halves are now ready for the various welding operations. Firestone, Akron, Ohio

Conversion. Beverage containers to aviation oxygen cylinders. After they are stamped on the huge toggle press in the metal division of a large rubber factory, these cylindrical domes which make up half of a shatterproof oxygen cylinder, are placed on a large conveyor where they are carried to workmen who will apply the circumferential and longitudinal straps. Cylinders are used for high altitude flying as a source of oxygen. Firestone, Akron, Ohio

Conversion. Beverage containers to aviation oxygen cylinders. Removing of non-shatter-chemical solution tank at a rubber factory now producing metal essential for the Army. This bath, which follows the removal of the weld scale, gives the inside of the cylinder a further cleaning and removes all chemicals which may remain from the previous operation. A satin-like surface, absolutely sterile and free from foreign matter, is made permanent in this operation. The cylinder is now also immune to attack from corrosion and other deteriorating elements. Firestone, Akron, Ohio
