Government discovers method to preserve film. (2) Expansion and contraction, like paper and other sheet materials made from cellulose, films expand as they take up moisture and contract as they lose it, and the extent of the change is different in the two directions of them. This may cause some distortion of the image, and therefore is of particular importance where the image must be true to scale, such as in aerial photography. C.O. Pope is shown with a type of expansiveity tester used and which was designed by the Bureau of Standards. Long strips of film are suspended under constant tension in the [cabinet?] in which the humidity is varied by means of [...] solutions. The change in length is indicated [...continuously?] on a scale by means of an optical-level arrangement, 7/8/38

Huge drop hammers work day and night forming sheet metal parts for United Nations bombers and fighters at the North American Aviation, Inc., plant, Inglewood, Calif. The heavy hemp rope is used to snub the hammer so that it forms the part under proper pressure and rises clear of the work after each operation. 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

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.
