...examples, Wilson exhibited plant-layout drawings showing how jet engines and car-body stampings, or planes and automobiles, could be produced under the same roof. "A large proportion of the manufacturing space could readily be made available for either purpose" with equipment and workers transferred quickly from one type of work to the other. In times of limited defense production, manufacturers could maintain pilot lines, continually updating their know-how for turning out military products on an all-out schedule. Then if all-out war came, the U.S. would be sure of all-out war production-and in time...

The Sterling, Law Buildings, which occupy a block next to the Yale library, form a quadrangle of campus gothic surrounding a picturesque court.

Many of the other pictures, however, tend to wander around 315's pages so that they and the text frequently get lost in unrelated rectangles of photo-engraving and type. The text itself suffers from the vagaries of its many contributors; it is laced with gags like "Sergeant 'Sock it' Toomey." There is an inordinate number...
