Packaging oil in paper containers--After 12 years of experimentation, a U.S. manufacturing company has developed a machine for paper packaging of oil. The process is illustrated in these pictures--PWW Photos--Serviced by Rome OWI ( A list out). Approved by appropriate military authority.-o-To make the paper oil containers, the container-making machine first twists paper into cylindrical tubes. Then labels are pasted around the cylinders as they move along a belt in the new high speed machine, as shown here. This new unit stepped up experimental speeds of 15 to 20 containers to 70 per minute. At this speed, paper packaging of oil is commercially feasible for the first time. 6653-Y.-o-The preformed cylindrical paper tubes are automatically closed at one end with paper disks. Then, at the oil plant, they are filled with oil and closed at the open end with paper disks in a high-speed packaging machine, reportedly the only one of its kind now in operation. Such machines are now available to the oil industry. The packaging machine, which operates together with the machine to make the containers, is completely automatic, with 14 stop stations along the line. It is six feet (1.80 meters) high, 16 feet (4.90 meters) long and four feet (1.20 meters) wide, and can be operated by two or three workmen. 6653-Z."”United States. 11 June 1945
