DeLand pool. Improvised foundry, Daytona Beach. Experts said they couldn't make precision aluminum and brass castings in this improvised Florida foundry, but it's being done to the exact specifications of a war contract. In Daytona Beach's three-man foundry. A city fireman, a young electrician, and a foundryman are casting important aircraft equipment for the DeLand industrial pool. City fireman J.L. Clayton became curious about the melting of aluminum and brass, and built himself a hobby workshop in the back of the Daytona fire station. It grew into this foundry on the edge of town where, in addition to pool castings, they are turning out a new type of air raid siren

DeLand pool. Improvised foundry, Daytona Beach. City fireman J.L. Clayton of Daytona Beach, Florida, turned curiosity into war production. Several years ago he became interested in molding metals, particularly brass and aluminum in his spare time and put up a one-man foundry in back of the fire station as a hobby. Now he's making cast parts for the DeLand industrial pool and turning out aluminum air raid sirens of his own invention. Clayton is pulling a newly-cast siren section out of the mold. With him is R.G. Campbell, Jr., foreman of his expanded hobby shop

DeLand pool. Improvised foundry, Daytona Beach. This is the blast division of city fireman J.L. Clayton's three-man foundry at Daytona Beach, Florida. It is turning out precision parts for experimental bombers. In the foreground is the blast furnace, in the background the junk heap of brass and aluminum scrap from which come the metals to charge the crucible. Arthur Brown, Negro helper, used to work in an orange grove until Clayton taught him how to handle molten metals

DeLand pool. Improvised foundry, Daytona Beach. A new kind of air raid siren is resulting from a fireman's curiosity about aluminum. City fireman J.L. Clayton of Daytona Beach, Florida, became interested in metals and put up a one-man foundry for a hobby in the rear of the fire station. Today he is molding aluminum air raid sirens in a rapidly expanding foundry and is handling molded aircraft parts for the DeLand, Florida, industrial pool. R.G. Campbell, Jr., foreman of the shop; Lewis Pollity, formerly an electrician, and Clayton examine a newly-cast siren "blade"

DeLand pool. Improvised foundry, Daytona Beach. American ingenuity is the keenest tool in the kit of the machinists turning out war weapons in Florida's pools. This is the way J.L. Clayton, Daytona Beach fireman, figured out and built a blast furnace hot enough to melt brass and aluminum. He hooked up a fuel oil barrel to the old foundry pump shown at right. The pump blasts the oil and compressed air down the pipeline into the crucible. Arthur Brown, Negro helper, has his hand on a valve that controls the air and fuel which heat the furnace

DeLand pool. Improvised foundry, Daytona Beach. Making a part for the new type of air raid siren he invented. Several years ago, city fireman J.L. Clayton of Daytona Beach, Florida, became interested in melting alloys and built a hobby foundry in back of the fire station where he spent his spare time. Now it has grown into a three-man foundry at the edge of town, and he is turning out experimental parts for bombers, vital pieces for the DeLand industrial pool, and air raid sirens of aluminum and brass

Citations of individual production merit awarded. The first five Citations of Individual Production Merit have been awarded to five war workers, War Production Drive Headquarters has announced. The citation is the highest honor conferred for individual achievement. It is granted only for ideas or suggestions that have an outstanding effect on the entire war effort. Joseph H. Kautsky, Indianapolis, Indiana, an employee of the Lin-Belt Co., was awarded his citation for four suggestions, each technical. He suggested a grinding wheel adapter, which permits higher speeds in internal grindings; a simplification cutting down the number of special internal grinding spindle wheel adapters from twelve to three; the adoption of a precision screw adjustment to the vertical column of dial indicator guages, to get faster adjustments without danger to the dials; and a new method of testing the concentricity of internally ground parts. The picture shows Mr. Kautsky (center) being congratulated by formean Bill Whitaker (right) as Superintendant R. E. Whitney (left) looks on
