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. Operating it is young Norman Bane, who was an automobile mechanic up until six months ago, when he apprenticed as a machinist under Casey
