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

Production. Copper (refining). Casting house in a large copper refining operation. Here sheets of pure copper, formed by electrolysis, are melted and cast into ingots. Large amounts of copper are produced for the war effort at the El Paso, Texas plant of Phelps-Dodge Refining Company
