Conversion. Toy factory. Stephanie Cewe and Ann Manemeit, have turned their skill from peacetime production of toy trains to the assembly of parachute flare casings for the armies of democracy. Along with other workers in this Eastern plant, they have turned their skill to the vital needs of the day, and in many cases have seen to it that the machinery they used to use does Uncle Sam's most important work today. Here, they are assembling parachute flare casings, using the same electric screwdrivers they formerly used to assemble the locomotives of toy trains. A. C. Gilbert Company, New Haven, Connecticut

Good men, good machines, good materials mean good gears for the rear axles of halftrac scout cars now being produced for our Army in an Ohio truck plant. White Motor Company, Cleveland, Ohio

Halftrac scout cars. When the American assembly line gets down to business, things gets done and done well. The assembling of engines for the Army's new halftrac scout cars is a job well done and understood by the trained men of a large Ohio truck plant. White Motor Company, Cleveland, Ohio

Shipbuilding. "Liberty" ships. This maze of rolling cranes, at a large Eastern shipyard is a typical scene in many large shipyards at work on ships for Uncle Sam's Navy and merchant fleet. Stocks of material are piled up for the cranes to take to vessels under construction so there is no delay in production while waiting for sections or materials. All parts are prefabricated in this huge Eastern plant which formerly turned out freight cars. The completed sections are then carried six miles to the ways on flat cars. Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards Inc., Baltimore, Maryland

Production. Pratt and Whitney airplane engines. Cylinder heads for R-1340 Wasp planes are inspected in a large Eastern plant now producing a huge number of fine American engines for our fighting air forces. Pratt and Whitney Aircraft

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

The chassis of an Army halftrac scout car get a workout. When this test driver at a large Midwest plant has put the machine through its paces, he'll know if the machine meets the exacting specifications of the Army. White Motor Company, Cleveland, Ohio

A coat of paint makes anything look better. But the purpose of spraying the undercarriages of the Army's halftrac scout cars is for protection. The job is part of the production routine on a large order being filled by a Midwest truck manufacturer. White Motor Company, Cleveland, Ohio

Shipbuilding. "Liberty" ships. Wooden templates are used as patterns for the laying out of a number of steel plates. These workers are transferring the templates designs, or patterns, to steel, to be used in ships under construction at a large Eastern shipyard. All parts are prefabricated in this huge Eastern plant which formerly turned out freight cars. The completed sections are then carried six miles to the ways on flat cars. Bethlehem-Fairfield Shipyards Inc., Baltimore, Maryland
