Original Toronto Star caption: Every day more and more tanks are rumbling off production lines from factories throughout the United States. Once geared to the high speed production of cars; automotive works have shelved their tools for the duration and installed machinery for making heavy tanks. The top picture shows the iron war horses rolling down production lines; under it is illustrated an American tank transporter; used to prevent wear and tear on tank treads. Fully loaded; the tank transporter weighs over 30 tons; and is powered by a 130 h.p. motor.
