Auto conversion to airplane engines. Some of the equipment impossible to convert from automobile engine manufacture to production of airplane motors is shown back of a huge automobile factory. A dismantled paint booth (left foreground) is among the scrap. In the background, against the rising glass roofs of the plant, tar-covered sheds house valuable machines which could not be converted, and are being stored for the duration to make room for the new war equipment. Chevrolet, Buffalo, New York

Auto conversion to airplane engines. With normal operations of this automobile factory suspended for the duration, the gigantic task of converting the entire plant to war production was taken over by the National Defense Plant Corporation. This involved all degrees of remodelling, the removal of old and installation of new machinery, and extensive rebuilding of the plant itself. An ex-automobile worker is pictured here operating a centering machine to determine the plain and stroke of an airplane engine crankshaft. Chevrolet, Buffalo, New York

Auto conversion to airplane engines. On the site of an automobile assembly line, this battery of Bullard boring machines used in manufacturing of airplane engines, now stands. With normal operations of this automobile factory suspended for the duration, conversion to war production was a gigantic task involving remodelling of machinery, removal of old and installation of new equipment and extensive rebuilding of the plant itself. These boring machines are used to rough cylinder barrels of airplane engines before heat treatment is applied. Chevrolet, Buffalo, New York
Auto conversion to airplane engines. With one hundred percent conversion of this automobile factory to production of airplane engines, the gigantic task of remodelling old machinery, removal of old and installation of new equipment, and extensive rebuilding of the plant itself was formidable--but speedy. Under terms of its contract, production was not scheduled until October, but Herulean efforts of management and labor reduced this to early spring of this year. Carloads of scrap material torn out of the plant are shown here at a siding back of the factory. Chevrolet, Buffalo, New York
Auto conversion to airplane engines. Once vital to automobile production, these dust pipes, ventilators of spray booths and other relics of pre-war days are relegated to the dump heap, useless now that the plant is one hundred percent converted to production of airplane motors.

Auto conversion to airplane engines. Automobile company personnel and U.S. Army inspectors view expanse of freshly laid cement covering track wells where freight cars rolled before December 1941. With one hundred percent conversion to airplane motor production, new machinery and equipment will occupy this space. Other requirements of conversion included the denuding of five and one-half miles of overhead conveyers. Chevrolet, Buffalo, New York
