Dr. Miklos Hatenyi, Hungarian-born research engineer at the Westinghouse electric and manufacturing company. He made various types of nuts and bolts, attached weights to the bottom of each model and heated them to "freeze" the stress lines, then cut slices from the center of each model and photographed the thin plastic sections to show which nut or bolt divided the "pull" among threads

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. By using a polarized light apparatus to take pictures of plastic models of turbine nuts and bolts, Dr. Hetenyi, Hungarian-born research engineer at the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, has discovered how to make this fastening device up to forty per cent stronger. He found that nuts and bolts with broad shoulders and tapered bodies distribute stress on threads more evenly than do ordinary nuts and bolts

Barrage balloon manufacture. Neck and neck in the stretch. Appearing like race horses galloping down each side of a long strip of barrage balloon fabric, the worker with the scissors apparently finishing ahead of the fellow with the electric fabric cutter. Actually the scissors are not used for cutting, but for "touch up clipping" only, since the power cutter is so much faster. After these men have cut the patterns, the pieces are sent to "seamers" who assemble the individual pattern pieces into strips of "gores," which in turn are assembled into completed barrage balloons. General Tire and Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio
Tying in new spools. This is a highly skilled occupation, and is supervised at this tire company by a man whose previous training was in a weaving mill in Scotland. The deft weaver's knot, which will not pull out, must be tied in the fraction of a second whenever a break occurs, to catch the broken ends together without interrupting the flow of cord. Firestone (General Tires), Akron, Ohio

Production. Subchasers. Galvanizing nuts and bolts for use on subchasers under construction in a Southern shipyard. This man used to run a printing shop and tourist camp. Now, as a galvanizer and also a welder, he has helped the shipyard earn the coveted Navy "E"
Barrage balloon manufacture. Rope work. Splicing and handling ropes is a vital part of barrage balloon manufacture, and requires unusual skill to make ropes lie smoothly, pull uniformly, avoid chafing the fabric, or bunching after the balloon is fully inflated. An early step in the work is shown here, in which the rope is frayed out into its many strands, which are then cemented into fabric "fingers" for greatest holding power. General Tire and Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio
Dr. Bair. Scientist, now turned war worker, checks over fire-scarred models of some of his inventions. Dr. Bair, once a college professor and inventor, is aiding the production drive by sawing steel billets to sizes required by a large forging company. A fire destroyed his house and his valuable library several years ago
