War transportation. Military traffic comes first. One reason why shipments of gasoline and other civilian materials are delayed is because the movement of such army equipment as those half-trac scout cars must have priority over other transportation

Transportation. Tank cars. This train of tank cars on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad illustrates the new plan for solid-train movement of oil. The plan cuts down the time consumed in the previous turn-around of tank car equipment, making more cars available to haul oil to the East

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.
