De Land pool. Bits and parts. Casey's machine shop, a unit of the De Land, Florida industrial pool, couldn't make a certain washer fast enough for the contract. So F.W. Casey took parts from a junk heap and built the speed press pictured above. Now it sits in the yard, because of insufficient room in the little shop, and turns out eight washers a minute for the war machine.

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.

De Land pool. Bits and parts. Old pumps, gears, chains, parts from every kind of machine under the sun comprise Casey's source of supply in the corner of his De Land, Florida shop. When he needs a new machine, most of the parts come from this junk heap. On a recent contract handled by the De Land pool, he couldn't get steel for a certain die. He found the metal in the gear he is holding, made the die himself, and put it to use for making airplane parts
