Conversion. Floor waxer plant. One of the few lathes bought by a small Eastern manufacturing firm. Unable to purchase much new machinery, the owner of the company installed and remodelled old equipment to produce war essentials under subcontract. First orders were delivered thirty days after contract, an amoazingly short time considering that conversion of machines took two weeks of it. Floorola Products Inc., York, Pennsylvania

Production. Milling machines and machine castings. It's all a matter of relative angles and turning speeds. Properly set, this gear-cutting machine tool will produce any kind of beveled, spur, hypoid or other kind of gear. The small hypoid bevel gear shown partially cut in the center of the picture will soon become part of another machine tool after it has been heat-treated, ground, lapped and thoroughly tested and checked

Conversion. Beverage containers to aviation oxygen cylinders. The first step in the manufacture of high-altitude-flying shatterproof oxygen cylinders in the metal department of a large rubber factory is the forming or stamping of the shell. Stainless steel sheets are blanked or cut into discs(left foreground). Before stamping, these discs are drawn through rolls where a drawing compound is added to both sides to facilitate the forming of the shell. The 750-ton toggle press, shown above, forms a half cylinder in one powerful stroke. Once the half cylinder is formed, it is trimmed and the value-fitting hole is punched into the spherical dome. A cleaning operation later removes the drawing compound. The cylinder halves are now ready for the various welding operations. Firestone, Akron, Ohio
