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. 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 be reduced 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. 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. Chase Copper and Brass Company, Euclid, Ohio
