Back to aid in his country's war effort is Phineas Davenport Allen, seventy-eight-year-old mechanic who worked on steering riggings for submarines during World War I. Today he is employed by a New England company, whose normal peacetime product is cube steak machinery. The drill press he operates was a valuable part of the company's peacetime equipment, is even more valuable today in the speeding of work on war subcontracts. New tooling and a large drill have fitted this press for the drilling of screw machine parts needed in new machine tools for war production. Cube Steak Machine Company, Boston, Massachusetts

Citations of individual production merit awarded. The first five Citations of Individual Production Merit have been awarded to five war workers, War Production Drive Headquarters has announced. The citation is the highest honor conferred for individual achievement. It is granted only for ideas or suggestions that have an outstanding effect on the entire war effort. Joseph H. Kautsky, Indianapolis, Indiana, an employee of the Lin-Belt Co., was awarded his citation for four suggestions, each technical. He suggested a grinding wheel adapter, which permits higher speeds in internal grindings; a simplification cutting down the number of special internal grinding spindle wheel adapters from twelve to three; the adoption of a precision screw adjustment to the vertical column of dial indicator guages, to get faster adjustments without danger to the dials; and a new method of testing the concentricity of internally ground parts. The picture shows Mr. Kautsky (center) being congratulated by formean Bill Whitaker (right) as Superintendant R. E. Whitney (left) looks on

Steel-saving glass-top jars recommended by the War Production Board, Containers Division, for home canning of the Victory garden fruits and vegetables in 1943. Third step is to allow expanding air inside the jar to escape during the processing; the screw band should be turned as far as it will go and then turned back about a quarter of a turn. Immediately after processing, the screw band must be made as tight as possible, to ensure a perfect seal. The jar is then set aside, in an upright position, to cool

Production. Aircraft. Samples for microscope inspection--a lowly rivet, a screw, an extruded part--prepared by a test engineer in a large Western aircraft plant. Samples are embedded in bakelite, polished to mirror finish, then etched with acid to bring out the grain. A faulty grain structure, as revealed through the microscope, will show up low-grade material or faulty processing methods in the manufacture of the part

Steel-saving glass-top jars recommended by the War Production Board, Containers Division, for home canning of the Victory garden fruits and vegetables in 1943. Third step is to allow expanding air inside the jar to escape during the processing; the screw band should be turned as far as it will go and then turned back about a quarter turn. Immediately after processing. the screw band must be made as tight as possible to ensure a perfect seal. The jar is then set aside in an upright position to cool

America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. At an oil well in the U.S. Southwest state of Oklahoma, oil drillers are using tools called "tongs" which are clamped on the drill stem to screw on a new section of stem or to unscrew the stem, section by section, after the drilling far below the earth's surface is finished. This procedure is common in modern rotary drilling for oil . The well pictured here is being drilled by a "wildcat" organization of drillers, which means they are formed in a group independent of any of the great oil companies. The well, if successful, will contribute to the vast quantity of oil being poured overseas to the U.S. armed forces and the United Nations for the successful waging of the war. The predictable total of U.S. oil production in 1944, according to a U.S. oil company official, is 1,601,2500,000 barrels produced by thousands of wells such as this one. Some U.S. oilwells today are drilled to a depth of three miles (4.8 kilometers) underground

Lititz, Pennsylvania. Chester W. Woolworth, president of the Animal Trap Company, had foresight enough to scour the country for screw machines before a single war order came in, and founded the local Lancaster County Office of Price Management. He raised 20,000 dollars for the Republican Party. Before orders for bullets came in from the British Purchasing Commission, the factory turned out army cots, and coat hooks. He was inspired by the York plan for sub-contracting to small machine shops
