War production drive. The war production drive committee in the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company plant in Cleveland approved this pledge card. The signing of each card impressed the worker with his individual responsibility for the success of the drive. Many other plants have used similar pledges and many plants forward these signed pledges to Donald M. Nelson, Chairman of the War Production Board (WPB), as a gesture of their commitment to increase production

Transformer manufacture. Building cores for power transformers is highly skilled work. A new electric steel called hipersil is used in these cores, a steel which makes it possible to build smaller cores, and therefore use less copper and steel, both virtually needed elsewhere in the war program. In addition, this hipersil carries one third more magnetic flux than ordinary steel. Westinghouse, Sharon, Pennsylvania
