1. America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. The depth of a modern oilwell in the U.S. Southwest is indicated by the height of the steel oil derrick and the "stack" of drill sections suspended from the derrick's top, ready for use one at a time as the hole drilled for oil goes deeper and the drill stem, on which the cutting-bit works, must be extended. One stem-section from the "stack" has already been picked up by the giant pulley and cable for lowering into the hole to extend the drill stem. Oilwells such as these are sometimes drilled to a depth of two or three miles (4.8 kilometers) under the ground to tap a rich oil deposit. More and more wells are being drilled today in the U.S., as the oil industry strives to supply the enormous demand of the armed forces of the U.S. and other United Nations for oil to lubricate and gasoline to propel planes and mechanized equipment of battle 1944?

2. Women in defense. This Middlewestern plant has converted not only its machinery but also its skilled labor force from the peacetime production of electric fans and motors to the war production of twenty-millimeter shell boosters. Here a veteran employee of the plant's experimental division teaches a former farmerette the operation of a Haskins drilling machine, which drill holes in a twenty-millimeter shell booster part 1942?

5. Palmer, Alfred T. An employee in the drill-press section of North American's huge machine shop runs mounting holes in a large dural casting, Inglewood, Calif. This plant produces the battle-tested B-25 ("Billy Mitchell") bomber, used in General Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, and the P-51 ("Mustang") fighter plane which was first brought into prominence by the British raid on Dieppe 1942 Oct

6. Rosener, Ann Women in industry. Aircraft motor workers. Youthful Paderewskis, take note! Her finger made superbly flexible by years of piano practice, this young employee of a Midwest aircraft motor plant finds her musical training of great assistance in her war job. The operation of this drill press demands constant, rapid hand and wrist movement--and that's where those hours of do-re-mi are paying dividends. She's countersinking six holes in a bolt, an operation requiring great precision, speed and skill 1942 Aug

10. America's petroleum industries pour out fuel and lubricants for the United Nations. This is an American "gusher" - an oil well in which great quantities of oil burst unexpectedly from the well-hole as the drill enters a subterranean oil pool which also contains gas under pressure. An oil well such as this one is a comparative rarity in the U.S. today where every step is taken to conserve oil. In the infancy of the U.S. oil industry "gushers" were common, but today the drill-hole is carefully sealed with steel, cement, and a mud mixture to avoid the loss of oil in such an emergency as the one pictured here. Special equipment has been rushed to this "gusher" well to "cap" the hole and prevent as much waste as possible. Such conservation methods have increased the efficiency of the U.S. oil industry and enabled it to supply the great demands made upon it by the planes, navies, and mechanized equipment of the United Nations at war 1944?

15. Palmer, Alfred T. Production. A-31 ("Vengeance") dive bombers. Drilling rivet holes in the side panel of the aft monocoque. Using a hand drill, the young woman in this scene is drilling rivet holes in the side panel of the aft monocoque, a step in the fabrication process of manufacturing Vultee "Vengeance" dive bombers at the Nashville Division of Vultee Aircraft Inc. The "Vengeance" (A-31) was originally designed for the French. It was later adopted by the RAF (Royal Air Force) and still later by the U.S. Army Air Forces. It is a single-engine, low-wing plane, carrying a crew of two men and having six machine guns of varying calibers 1943 Feb

16. Hollem, Howard R. Conversion. Toy factory. The hands of Lucille Ciecko, worker in a New England plant, tells the story of conversion in its simpler aspects. Lucille used to drill casings for toy locomotives. Here she is changing the drill on her press, about to begin the more vital work of today--drilling holes for wires in parachute flare casing. Not all conversion is as simple as this, but thousands of machines used in our peacetime industrial program are now being retooled and changed over to war work. A. C. Gilbert Company, New Haven, Connecticut 1942 Feb
