Conversion. Merry-go-round plant. Hooks for export packing cases of aircraft engines are bent on this horizontal bulldozer which was formerly used to bend rails for merry-go-rounds to delight the hearts of carefree children. It was thought impossible to convert the machine for this use, but a little thinking and ingenuity solved the problem. The slack was taken out of the bulldozer and it was found to work quite satisfactory as an aid to bending the heavy hooks into shape. Spillman Engineering Company, North Tonawanda, New York

Collecting pitchers is hobby of Virginian. Arlington, Virginia, July 2. Twenty five years ago Mrs. William B. King of Arlington Virginia, started her hobby of collecting pitchers. Now she has over 300 and only two duplicates in the collections. She has pitchers from almost every state in the Union as many from foreign countries. England has contributed a fine Toby, a pitcher in the shape of a cow and another which is a souvenier of Oxford. Included in her collection are also ones from Italy, Germany, France, Holland, Africa, Belgium, Mexico, and Bermuda. Her hobby seems much more interesting when you consider that all her pitchers are used on different occasions instead of being used for decoration only, 7/2/37

"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

Interferometer tests standard gages for automobile manufacturers. Washington, D.C. May 28. I.J. Fullmer of the Bureau of Standards is shown with an interferometer by means of which differences in length are measured in terms of wave-lengths of light to the millionth of an inch. A four-inch square precision gage is being compared for length with the Bureau's standard 4 inch, which is rectangular in shape. These gages are tested against the master gages which the different auto manufacturers check their measuring devices so that the parts of the cars separately made can be, when assembled, fitted perfectly.

Bas relief detail at The Ace of Clubs House in Texarkana, Texas, more formally known as the Draughon-Moore home. The house was built in 1885 in roughly the shape of the "club" figure on the ace of clubs card in a poker deck, with three octagonal wings and a rectangular wing. According to legend, the house was built with money won from a poker game. It is now a city-owned tour home and museum

In this group are some of the youngest workers in Spinning Room of Cornell Mill. The smallest is Jo Benevidos, 5 Merion St. Other small ones are: John Sousa, 84 Boutwell St., Anthony Valentin, 203 Pitman St. Manuel Perry, 124 Everett St. John Travaresm [or Taveresm?], 90 Cash St. The difficulty they had in writing their names was pathetic. When I asked the second hand in charge of the room to let the boys go outside a moment and let me get a snap-shot he objected, saying they would stay out and not be in shape to work. When they carry dinners, they breathe the close air of the spinning room from 7 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. with no let-up. Cornell Mill. Location: Fall River, Massachusetts.

Conversion. Food machinery plant. John J. Morris used to cut steel disc covers with his universal milling machine. These disc covers were part of the cube steak machines which are the normal products of the New England plant where he is employed. Today, however, Morris uses the same machine, tooled over for war subcontract work, for the cutting of large hexagonal nuts for a government arsenal. For cube steak machinery there was only one milling wheel, instead of the two shown above. "Hexing a nut" is a very simple job with a machine designed to shape the nut in a single operation, but such a machine is not available and time is short. Morris, therefore, shifts the round steel stock three times, cutting two sides at a time. Cube Steak Machine Company, Boston, Massachusetts
