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. Here is a stock of billets, or solid cylindrical brass or copper castings, which have been sawed to length. These billets will be heated and put through a powerful extrusion machine, which will extrude rods, tubes or other special shapes from them. Billets are cast six inches to eight inches in diameter and usually from four to ten feet long. These are sawed to shorter lengths before they go to the extrusion machines. Chase Brass and Copper Company, Euclid, Ohio

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. Bundles of various sizes brass, copper, and bronze rod in the shipping room of a brass and copper mill.

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. In the brass and copper casting shop, the operator of an electric furnace is pouring the molten metal into molds to form shells, or rough tubes, which are later formed into finished tubes. Tubes are formed by casting molten metal into these molds in which a refractory core has been inserted. The molds are mounted on a turntable, which brings them into position to receive the pouring. Chase Brass and Copper Company, Euclid, Ohio

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. Gaging copper rotating bands. These bands are sawed from long copper tubes, machined to size, serrated and applied like a collar to projectiles. These copper rotating bands fit the serrations inside gun barrels, and make the projectile rotate as it is shot from the gun. The man in this picture is checking the diameter of the bands as they come from the saws, before they are machined. Chase Copper and Brass 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.
