Notes:

SWORDS INTO PLOWSHARES---AUTOMOTIVE STYLE---Pictured above is an

outstanding example of the automobile industry's version of converting swords into

plowshares. Shown below is the metal finish line at Fisher Body's Pontiac, Mich.

plant. On this very line, during the war, (panel above) pedestals for the 90mm gun

were manufactured by this General Motors unit on an assembly line basis, the first

time the assembly of an intricate gun of such a large caliber had been accomplished

on a moving conveyor. Bodies now are being produced at this plant at a

steadily-increasing rate.
