Conversion. Merry-go-round plant. These hands used to turn out merry-go-rounds to gladden the hearts of the nation's children. The carrousel plant in which they work is now engaged in producing war parts on subcontracts from army and navy contractors. Joe Wiegand is the machinist shown above, turning a rod for a shell extractor for a six-inch forty-seven-caliber naval gun. Spillman Engineering Company, North Tonawanda, New York
