Lunch on the job. Lunchtime in the creel room does not release workers from watching the flow of the cord. Whereas there is not often an emergency break, someone must be on hand in case the emergency should arise. Firestone (General Tires), Akron, Ohio

Headed for last cleanup. Six giant truck tires, of the non-directional type are being wheeled in for cleaning and painting. This pattern, developed for the U.S. Army in 1941 is used for field equipment....gives excellent traction in forward or reverse because of the horizontal cleats, yet rides well on the highway on the continuous center rib.

An interesting scene in the manufacture of rubber boots and shoes, Akron, Ohio.

Wrapping the finished tire. Seeing is not necessarily believing. Even when you see the tire-wrapping machine in operation, it is difficult to understand how it works....spinning a strand of paper around a tire as fast as the operator can feed them in. All the operator need do is place the tire in position; the machine does the rest. Firestone (General) Tires, Akron, Ohio

The tracks for an Army halftrac scout car begins to take shape on the "building wheel" of a Midwest tire plant. Goodrich, Akron, Ohio

Self-sealing fuel tanks. Not only as nurses behind the battle lines, but as workers in the factory producing important war goods, women are doing much to win this war and to spare the lives of the men doing the actual fighting. These girls are stitching inner ply to a building form used in the manufacture of self-sealing tanks. Goodrich

Removing cured tube from mold. As the tire molds are all-automatic, so are the tube molds. This one has just opened; all the operator need do is remove the finished tube and put in another raw one. Note the seam marks in the mold itself, which leave their imprint on the tube. Thus a seamless tube may appear to have a collection of many sections. Firestone (General) Tires, Akron, Ohio
