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
