Pearl Harbor bombing. Destruction. Smoke pours from the USS Shaw, bombed dry dock (right center) while in the foreground lies the capsized USS Oglala, a minelayer. To the left is the 10,000 ton cruiser, USS Helena, struck by an aerial torpedo on the starboard side. The concussion caused the Oglala, formerly berthed alongside the Helena to flood and she turned over after being brought to dock. At the extreme left, may be seen some of the superstructure of the USS Pennsylvania and at the right appears to be the USS Maryland burning

Aluminum casting. Before metal can be poured into the mold, this wooden superstructure will be completely filled with sand. Technically, it's known as facing sand on coperflask and placing of gaggers. But in anybody's language, it's one of the many operations necessary to complete molds in which vital aluminum parts for the armed forces will be cast. What the exact object being cast is, is one of the army's secrets. Aluminum Industries Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio

Soldiers inspecting new trackless tank during demonstration at Fort Myer, Virginia. Tank was manufactured by the Trackless Tank Corporation of New York, and submitted to the Ordnance Department, U.S. Army, for inspection. Preliminary tests indicate that the tank may be adaptable for reconnaissance purposes, possibly replacing scout cars. Tank weighs 10 tons. During initial, brief tests at Fort Knox, Kentucky, it made 45 miles an hour across rough country, with a 37 mm gun and two machine guns mounted in its turret; its designer says it can travel 85 mph on level ground. It is powered by a 250 horsepower diesel engine, and carries 1/2-inch armor. Tentative plans of the Army call for a redesign of the superstructure for better arming of the tank

General planning. Refrigerated barge designed and built by the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) in collaboration with the University of Tennessee to encourage the fruit and vegetable freezing industry in the Valley and the marketing of its products over the inland waterways system. The architects of the Authority cooperated in the design of the superstructure which was erected on a standard steel barge. Sheathing is of T and G boards, roof of galvanized sheet metal. Glass-enclosed cabin at one end houses refrigerating machinery, at other end crew's quarters. Colors are light shades of grey, with upper and lower bands of superstructure in maroon. Visible part of windows is the screen frame; glazed sash is behind and its frame is painted black to eliminate its competetion with the screen frame and its..
