It's done with a twist of the wrist!
Yes, almost as easily as turning a valve, Standard
of California, at government request, converted
its big new toluene plant to the all-out produc
tion of more aviation gasoline.
Built in record time, this plant has produced
record quantities of toluene, an essential ingredi
ent of TNT. But Standard's engineers designed it
with a thought to the swift changes of war. They
prescribed new catalytic cracking methods so that
with a few lightning changes it could be convert
ed to other war production. ,

Now, thanks to their ingenuity, the equipment
that put the "bite" in block-busters is turning
out liquid horsepower for fighting planes.
Already, Standard of California is brewing
enough aviation fuel daily to send 900 Flying
Fortresses from Port Moresby to Rabaul and back.
Work is under way on another plant to make
fuel for 300 more. Before long, Standard of Cal
ifornia will be making enough high octane, gas
oline to put 1200 heavyweight bombers over
Rabaul every day.
