Conversion. Copper and brass processing. Stocks of partially completed lengths of seamless copper tube in many sizes. These have still to go through several more draws through dies on drawbenches. Each draw reduces them in diameter and wall thickness, and lengthens them out. Then, before the tubes leaves the mill, the ends will be sawed off straight and clean.

Metal scrap salvage. The rural scrap collection center at Dexter, Michigan was the scene of much activity as the drive sponsored by the War Production Board (WPB) gained headway. The first load dumped here was followed by many others as farmyards yielded tons of old iron and rubber that put money into the pockets of local farmers and much valuable material back into use
