DeLand pool. Bits and parts. Casey's machine shop, down by the railroad tracks in De Land, Florida, is one of the strongest members of the Volusia County pool, now starting on its third million-dollars worth of war production without a single rejection. F.W. Casey, owner of the shop, looks over some of the miscellaneous items in his yard from which he makes many of the machines he uses. He's inspecting a woodworking machine with an eye to the pool's next contract. An old dough mixer at the right of the window will supply some parts for the next job

De Land pool. Bits and parts. Casey's machine shop, a unit of the De Land, Florida industrial pool, couldn't make a certain washer fast enough for the contract. So F.W. Casey took parts from a junk heap and built the speed press pictured above. Now it sits in the yard, because of insufficient room in the little shop, and turns out eight washers a minute for the war machine. Operating it is young Norman Bane, who was an automobile mechanic up until six months ago, when he apprenticed as a machinist under Casey

De Land pool. Bits and parts. Old pumps, gears, chains, parts from every kind of machine under the sun comprise Casey's source of supply in the corner of his De Land, Florida shop. When he needs a new machine, most of the parts come from this junk heap. On a recent contract handled by the De Land pool, he couldn't get steel for a certain die. He found the metal in the gear he is holding, made the die himself, and put it to use for making airplane parts

De Land pool. Bits and parts. Faced with the problem of doubling production speed on a certain type of washer needed for the De Land, Florida pool aircraft contract, F.W. Casey went to his scrap heap. He took a two-cylinder gas engine from a spray machine used in an orange grove, a pump from the hydraulic lift of a dump truck, another pump from a steam engine cylinder, and built his hydraulic speed press. Too big for his little machine shop, the machine was set up in the yard, where it produces eight parts a minute for the war machine. Operating it is Norman Bane, Casey's one-man crew

De Land pool. Bits and parts. With a "know-how" skill developed in thirty-two years experience as a machinist, Fred W. Casey, sub-contractor in the De Land, Florida pool, bends over a heavy lathe as it machines a part for the nation's war machine. Fifty-two-year-old Casey, like many machinists who retired to Florida, chuckles at the idea that machinists in the deep South cannot work to close tolerances

In time of war there is no excuse for carelessness, and it is carelessness that is responsible for the loss of most tire mileage. Running into a curb can mean a break in the tire wall, or at least a weakening. Blowouts are more apt to occur when these sidewalls are in bad condition
