Copper and Brass - Inside brass and copper tube mill

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. Coils of copper water tube. Large quantities of copper tube are needed by our Army and Navy, and vital industries. The smaller sizes are used for oil lines on equipment producing defense products and for fuel lines on tanks and other mechanized equipment. Single lengths up to sixty feet are coiled for convenience in handling and shipping. Chase Copper and Brass Company, Euclid, Ohio

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. Coils of brass and copper metal are loaded into a freight car and shipped to factories where it is fabricated into thousands of metal parts needed for our war program, or to our airplane submarine, or ship-building industries to become parts of their production.

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

Transformer manufacture. Fitting up outer parts of giant transformers is one of the skilled jobs done by employees of a large Eastern electrical company. The demand for power transformers has increased in proportion to America's ever-increasing war production. Westinghouse, Sharon, Pennsylvania
