Seamless Copper Tube Production in Euclid Ohio 1942

The image captures the conversion of raw materials into seamless copper tubes at the Chase Copper and Brass Company in Euclid, Ohio, in February 1942. This facility utilized electric motor-driven vehicles on drawbenches to grip rough cast tubes and pull them through dies, a crucial process for achieving precise dimensions. Brass tubes required annealing between draws, while copper could often be drawn multiple times without this step. The image is part of the FSA/OWI Collection, which documents American industrial efforts during World War II.
