Conversion. Floor waxer plant. The owner of this small Eastern floor waxer plant (left) has planned for and almost completed conversion of his equipment to accomodate the defense production for which he has subcontracted. This five-spindle drill press, once used in manufacture of floor waxing machines, has been equipped with special chuck and drill for production of anti-aircraft guns.

Summary
Original caption: BLUE-GREEN BEAM: Duane D. Erway (left) and Dr. Paul C. Fletcher of Electro-Optical Systems, Inc., a Pasadena subsidiary of Xerox Crop., adjust blue-green output beam of ionized argon gas laser which will be used to signal a manned-spacecraft for the first time. Laser beacon was developed by the EOS Optical Electronics Division under the direction of Dr. Fletcher and Mr. Erway. The NASA-funded beacon will be aimed from White Sands Missile Range at orbiting Gemini Give. It is hoped astronauts aboard that vehicle will be able to visually locate its pencil-thin beam. Successful observation could be the initial step in establishment of laser beam communications between a manned spacecraft and earth.
