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

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

Flotation bag manufacturing. Stack of flotation bags made of rubberized fabric inflated for test purposes, preparatory to deflation for insertion in wings of military airplanes. These bags are used to support planes forced down at sea. Goodyear, Akron, Ohio

Barrage balloon manufacture. Reinforcing tail rigging of a new ballonet type barrage balloon, these workers at the barrage plant are cementing, seaming and rolling reinforcing tape across points in the tail and fins where strain is greatest. General Tire and Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio

Conversion. Beverage containers to aviation oxygen cylinders. After they are stamped on the huge toggle press in the metal division of a large rubber factory, these cylindrical domes which make up half of a shatterproof oxygen cylinder, are placed on a large conveyor where they are carried to workmen who will apply the circumferential and longitudinal straps. Cylinders are used for high altitude flying as a source of oxygen. Firestone, Akron, Ohio

Synthetic rubber (Ameripol). These tanks contain vegetable fats and butadiene, a highly volatile gas "cracked" from crude petroleum. These raw materials for synthetic rubber are piped from freight cars into these storage tanks. Goodrich
