A poster comes to life. It takes a heap o' treatin' to make a ship's hull out of scrap metal. Soldier, welder and sailor watch this giant four-high machine at Allegheny-Ludlum which rolls bloomed ingots into sheet steel. Thanks to welder George Woolslayer's explanations of the steel-making process, Sergeant Vineyard and Chief Evans are getting a liberal education in the fine art of production for war. Allegheny-Steel, Pittsburgh

Production. Aircraft. An engineer in the laboratory of a large Western aircraft plant tests a standard Army weld sample. At irregular intervals every welder working on Army contract material must make the "tee" weld shown here. This sample has failed, as part of the break has occurred in the weld rather than in the parent material. The welder must now produce a satisfactory weld sample before he can again work on Army aircraft material
