Manpower. Americans all. Machining hoods for America's medium tanks is much more than just a job to Peter Dykzeul. Born in Holland, this employee of a Midwest tank plant knows the brutality and horror Nazi agression can bring to a freedom-loving people. And he's just one among America's many loyal, foreign-born workers who are pitching in with every ounce of strength to keep the nation free, and to lift the yoke from their native lands. Pressed Steel Can Company, Chicago, Illinois

A special drill press cuts a great number of holes simultaneously in casings for engines at the Pratt and Whitney Aircraft Corporation. East Hartford, Connecticut

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

A girl riveting machine operator at the Douglas Aircraft Company plant joins sections of wing ribs to reinforce the inner wing assemblies of B-17F heavy bombers, Long Beach, Calif. Better known as the "Flying Fortress," the B-17F bomber is a later model of the B-17, which distinguished itself in action in the south Pacific, over Germany and elsewhere. It is a long range, high altitude, heavy bomber, with a crew of seven to nine men -- and with armament sufficient to defend itself on daylight missions

Tennessee Valley Authority. Watts Bar Dam hydroelectric plant. One of four tube-generating units which produce electric power at TVA's Watts Bar steam plant. This plant will supplement the big hydroelectric installations at Watts Bar Dam, which has an authorized output of 90,000 kilowatts, and a possible ultimate of 150,000 kilowatts. Each of the four big turbo-generators in the steam plant is rated at 60,000 kilowatts

Conversion. Floor waxer plant. Normally used in manufacture of floor waxers, as shown here, this five-spindle drill press is now used full-time on defense orders for which this small Eastern plant is under subcontract. Floorola Products Inc., York, Pennsylvania
