Conversion. Copper and brass processing. Drawing seamless copper tube. Rough cast tubes tapered at one end to fit through a die are gripped in the tongs of the electric motor-driven vehicle on the drawbench and pulled or "drawn" through the die to reduce them to the desired size. Tubes usually are redrawn many times; each successive "draw" reduces the diameter, and increases the length. Brass tubes need to be annealed or softened between each draw, but copper tubes can be drawn several times without intermediate annealing. The tapered nose of the tubes may be seen just behind the drawbench operator. The tube is checked with a micrometer after being drawn, to make sure it is the right diameter. The man looking through the short section of tube is inspecting the inner surface for flaws. The Chase Copper and Brass Company, Euclid, Ohio

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. Pickling lengths of copper water tube in a brass and copper mill. After annealing, or softening by heat to reduce brittleness and allow further drawing, tubes are "pickled" in a sulphuric acid solution to remove oxide and scale that result from the anneal. Bundles of the tubes are picked up by electric cranes and transported from the pickle to a rinse bath of water. The tubes are then returned to the drawbench for re-drawing down to smaller diameters.

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. The inside of a large brass and copper tube mill. Copper tubes are made in many sizes, and in many alloys, and are needed for war production in hundreds of different ways--from small diameter tubing for gas and oil lines in airplanes and tanks and motor cars to large diameter tubes used in construction of our battleships. A tube annealing furnace may be seen to the right. Chase Brass and Copper Company, Euclid, Ohio

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. Chase Copper and Brass Company, Euclid, Ohio

New oversize trailer for war workers. Note modern floating axle on the new oversize bus trailer which holds 141 persons and may be the answer to the problem of transporting war workers to outlying defense plants. Designed and built by Office of Defense Transportation and War Production Board (WPB) officials with cooperation of private companies, the trailer rolls on eight standard truck size tires, with the usual six tires on the power unit. The truck trailer unit as a whole is fifty-five feet long

Rags. Collection and processing. A portion of the sorting room in a large Eastern rag processing plant. In this room new rag remnants, consisting chiefly of cuttings received from clothing factories, are sorted. The rags are classified and separated according to the type of cloth; colored rags are graded according to the ease with which they can be bleached. The baskets in back of the women are filled with rags that have been sorted and classified. The women work in teams of two; it takes a team about two hours to sort the rags in one full bale. In another part of the plant, a room of the same size and general appearance as this is used for sorting used rags. Shapiro Company, Baltimore, Maryland

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - On Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the members of space shuttle Endeavour's STS-130 crew continue their emergency exit training by the catch nets for the slidewire baskets at the base of the pad. The emergency exit system includes seven baskets suspended from seven slidewires that extend from the fixed service structure to a landing zone 1,200 feet west of the pad. The astronauts are, from left, Mission Specialists Nicholas Patrick, Stephen Robinson and Kathryn Hire; Commander George Zamka; Mission Specialist Robert Behnken; and Pilot Terry Virts. The crew members of space shuttle Endeavour's upcoming mission are at Kennedy for training related to their launch dress rehearsal, the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test. The primary payload on STS-130 is the International Space Station's Node 3, Tranquility, a pressurized module that will provide room for many of the station's life support systems. Attached to one end of Tranquility is a cupola, a unique work area with six windows on its sides and one on top. Endeavour's launch is targeted for Feb. 7.
