MOJAVE DESERT, Calif. – In the Mojave Desert in California, students and engineers assist as the Garvey Spacecraft Corporation's Prospector P-18D rocket is lifted into position for its scheduled launch on June 15 with the RUBICS-1 payload on a high-altitude, suborbital flight. The rocket will carry four satellites made from four-inch cube sections. Collectively known as CubeSats, the satellites will record shock, vibrations and heat inside the rocket. They will not be released during the test flight, but the results will be used to prove or strengthen their designs before they are carried into orbit in 2014 on a much larger rocket. A new, lightweight carrier is also being tested for use on future missions to deploy the small spacecraft. The flight also is being watched closely as a model for trying out new or off-the-shelf technologies quickly before putting them in the pipeline for use on NASA's largest launchers. Built by several different organizations, including a university, a NASA field center and a high school, the spacecraft are four-inch cubes designed to fly on their own eventually, but will remain firmly attached to the rocket during the upcoming mission.

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. This worker is at the controls of an extruding machine, a powerful piece of apparatus in a brass and copper mill that pushes billets of metal usually heated red hot, through a die to form rods, tubes, angles, channels and other shapes. Chase Brass and Copper Company, Euclid, Ohio

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. This picture shows brass rod coming from the extrusion machine. Red hot brass billets (solid cylindrical castings) are pushed by tremendous force through a steel die in the extrusion press to form rods of various shapes, or hollow shells that are subsequently made into tubing. The metal is ejected from the extrusion press like tooth paste from a tube. Chase Brass and Copper Company, Euclid, Ohio

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. A mechanical feeder is here shown running billets of brass into an electric furnace, where they will be heated at a high temperature. Then the heated billets will be pushed with tremendous force through the die of an extrusion machine to form rods, tubes, angles or other shapes. Chase Brass and Copper Company, Euclid, Ohio

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. Large rolls of sheet brass and copper ready for the slitting machine, where the roll edges will be trimmed off. These unfinished rolls will all be slit into even-edged, uniform width rolls. Chase Copper and Brass Company, Euclid, Ohio

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. As extruded rod comes from the extrusion machine, it is too hot to handle. It is put under a cold water spray, then sent to the saws to be cut to shorter lengths for further operations. Chase Copper and Brass Company, Euclid, Ohio

Conversion. Floor waxer plant. One of the few lathes bought by a small Eastern manufacturing firm. Unable to purchase much new machinery, the owner of the company installed and remodelled old equipment to produce war essentials under subcontract. First orders were delivered thirty days after contract, an amoazingly short time considering that conversion of machines took two weeks of it. Floorola Products Inc., York, Pennsylvania

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. Stocks of partially completed lengths of seamless copper tube in many sizes. These have still to go through several more draws through dies on drawbenches. Each draw reduces them in diameter and wall thickness, and lengthens them out. Then, before the tubes leaves the mill, the ends will be sawed off straight and clean.

Halftrac scout cars. When the American assembly line gets down to business, things gets done and done well. The assembling of engines for the Army's new halftrac scout cars is a job well done and understood by the trained men of a large Ohio truck plant. White Motor Company, Cleveland, Ohio

Conversion. Food machinery plant. This turret lathe was purchased second-hand from a nearby shoe factory to speed production on war subcontracts held by a New England plant which formerly turned out cube steak machinery. Edwin Becker is checking on a retooling job in progress which will eventually fit the new lathe to thread three-and-a-quarter-inch hexagonal nuts. Becker is checking the measurements of the tool hole in the turret with those of the specially-built tap which will do the threading. Cube Steak Machine Company, Boston, Massachusetts
