Substitute materials. Interior view of two-foot section of built-up wooden pipe, twenty-four inches in diameter. These pipes, used in place of corrugated iron or reinforced concrete pipes, are made of sections cut from short lengths of wood. About 100,000 feet of these wooden pipes were installed in 1942 in drainage culverts, storm sewers and conduits under highways and at army camps, naval stations, airfields and ordnance plants

Substitute materials. Wood culverts for steel. Assembly of an emergency sectional wood pipe, twenty-four inches in diameter. These pipes, used in place of corrugated iron or reinforced concrete pipes, are made of sections cut from short lengths of wood. Locking of adjacent rings with hardwood dowel pins produces a flexible structure. About 100,000 feet of these wooden pipes were installed in 1942 in drainage culverts, storm sewers and conduits under highways and at army camps, naval stations, airfields and ordnance plants

Substitute materials. A shipment of 1,488 feet of 18-inch, 24-inch, 30-inch and 36-inch wooden pipe on one flat car. Weight 70,020 pounds. An equal footage of reinforced concrete pipe weighs 455,412 pounds, requires over ten cars.

Substitute materials. Timber connectors. Use of wood in the construction of Army chapels is shown here, one of 570 similar structures erected since last fall. All of them were built with wood trusses like these or with glued laminated wood arches, saving many tons of structural steel for more strategic purposes. New methods for timber joints have made it possible to reduce the amount of material needed for trusses and other load-bearing members

Conversion. Copper and brass processing. The inside of a large brass and copper tube mill. Copper tubes are made in many sizes, and in many alloys, and are needed for war production in hundreds of different ways--from small diameter tubing for gas and oil lines in airplanes and tanks and motor cars to large diameter tubes used in construction of our battleships. A tube annealing furnace may be seen to the right. Chase Brass and Copper Company, Euclid, Ohio

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. War housing trailers. The side of a war housing trailer nears completion on a table-top jig at Western Trailer Company's plant in Los Angeles. Exceptional strength is secured through built-up construction of Masonite over plywood with a casein bond. The side is secured to spacers with drive screws
