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. 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. 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

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"
