Because of the time and difficulties which would be encountered in buying a new staking machine, engineers of a Midwestern company converted an old standard arbor press into an air-operated machine, pictured above, which stakes screws in a twenty- millimeter shell booster. The results of the air-powered machine were a definite saving of time and elimination of fatigue which resulted from the operation of manually operated press. The young lady operating the machine was an operator of a machine for making loose-leaf notebook binders before she became employed on war work

To save time in checking threads on a twenty-millimeter shell booster, a plant superintendent built this machine. It makes possible a speedy checking of thread accuracy in contrast to the old hand method. The inventor made the machine out of a fan base and a couple pieces of machine steel in a matter of hours. Months would have been necessary to buy such a machine on the market

Two new tools were set in the New Britain-Gridley lathe, pictured above, to adapt it for the cutting of twenty-millimeter shell booster parts. The new parts are an eccentric spindle, which may be seen attached to a driving rod in the center of the machine, and a thread rolling attachment. In peacetime, the machine was used to turn out spur gears, worm wheels and commentator rings in steel and brass

Rather than wait two months for the delivery of a machine which would burr holes on the inside of a shell booster, the engineering department of a Midwestern plant built its own machine in thirty hours. A novel feature of the homemade machine is the use of a dental burr, which in peacetime is used to make dental patients squirm
