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

De Land pool. Bits and parts. The members of the De Land, Florida pool solved their welding problem on their first war contract with typical American ingenuity. F.W. Casey had to have a welding generator and couldn't buy one. So he took an old Overland chassis, mounted a Dodge motor on it, attached a Studebaker radiator, and connected a second-hand generator to the engine. The outfit performs with the same efficiency as a five hundred dollar factory job

The pool's first machines are shown being moved into the fairgrounds building
