Production. New Tennessee Valley Authority synthetic ammonia plant. Making a weld on a filter head in the ammonia synthesis system at the TVA's new synthetic ammonia plant in the Muscle Shoals area. Ammonia is made here by the high- pressure synthesis of nitrogen and hydrogen. The ammonia thus secured is converted at Muscle Shoals to ammonium nitrate for use in the making of high explosive shells. In addition to the production of munitions, the TVA is engaged in research in many fields, seeking new sources of strategic materials and better ways to utilize them in the war effort

Tennessee Valley Authority production. Elemental phosphorus. A Negro worker tending an electric phosphate smelting furnace which is producing elemental phosphorus at a TVA chemical plant in the Muscle Shoals area. The phosphorus, used in the manufacture of incendiary bombs and shells and of material for "smoke," is produced by smelting phosphate rock, coke and silica together in the electric furnaces and condensing the resulting phosphorus gases. When surplus phosphorus is available it is converted into highly concentrated phosphate fertilizer, much of which is shipped abroad under provisions of the Lend-Lease Bill

Production. Aircraft. An engineer in the laboratory of a large Western aircraft plant tests a standard Army weld sample. At irregular intervals every welder working on Army contract material must make the "tee" weld shown here. This sample has failed, as part of the break has occurred in the weld rather than in the parent material. The welder must now produce a satisfactory weld sample before he can again work on Army aircraft material
