Barrage balloon manufacture. Spider and the flies. Putting last touches on a completed barrage balloon are these workers and their supervisor (standing). To inspect the bag for leaks, the light inside is turned off, leaving the workers in a midnight gloom. Then a co-worker on the outside takes a bright light, and works along the length of the entire balloon, back and forth, until he has covered every inch.

Cloth moccasins are worn inside the bag, or else stocking feet--to avoid chafing the fabric. General Tire and Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio
