Harvey Hayden, at 35 u 21 year veteran of the pattern trade und head of the pattern making department, got the flrnt one. With precision and care com pounded through two decades, lie built each part to be cost but built 'cm of sugar pint! cor rect to sixty-fourth of Bn Inch. lluydi'ii built 'em, Inside and out, with each, measurement col culatcd In advance, to tho exact shape and size of what later was 'to be the inlshrd casting. His work included drums, gears, mo tor housings, bracing any sta tionary part not required to bear tremendous weights qr moving parts not destined to run at high speed. Haydon's producbN-one a re plica of what later was to be a casting's exterior, another of the Interior painted black, looked Ilk the finished piece when the foundry department took It over. But the foundry headed by John Gurtlc, for eight years Klamath Machine's foundry fore man had a Job to do. Thcir's was tho task of build ing a mold of material suitable to encompass v molten metal around the entire wooden pat tern, then pour flowing Iron and como up with the casting bub-ble-freo and clear of slag. With his staff, Gurtlo built a "drag," a box of heavy lumber without bottom or top. In It, around Haydon's pattern, foun drymcn pecked molding sand, a sharp sand of minute, harsh Jag ged particles which hang togeth er where tiny spheres of beach sand roll together like oil. The same was done with a "cope," or the top half of the mold. Meantime, other assistants who previously had packed "coro sand," which is compound ed of molding sand with molasses and flour for a binder, Into the Interior of Hayden's Interior oat tern or "core box" were baking their Interior mold to the con sistency of a bridal biscuit. Their product was a "core." Browned to a brick-hard turn, the core was mounted in the "drag" leaving an air space des tined to become the finished cast ing. The "cope" was then fitted to the "drag," forming a rectangu lar box. Left In the top surface was a "gate," for the later en trance of the molten metal; a "sklm gate," for possible slag rising to the top during pouring, and a "riser," for escaping air. Pouring time, last act of the foundry day. found line of boxes ready for casting. With ladles, large and small, Gurtle and Gurtle's crew poured the crimson-hot metal, heated to. over 2600 degrees Fahrenheit, In to the boxes, Igniting the box ex teriors with hot pokers as they poured In order to burn off ac cumulated gases which seeped through the purposely-porous sand. The next morning, foundry men broke down the boxes and lifted out the finished castings. But the job wasn't done. If Harvey Hayden's pattern and John Gurtle's casting was, for example, a giant drum for an overhead crane it was further turned on a huge lathe In Su perintendent Edward Kllever's machine shop which all the while had been working on pre cision gears and high tensile strength steel parts for the ship yards' completed hoists. Turned, perhaps drilled and topped or keyscatcd If necessary, the drum was complete. But only In itself. There was still assembly as other parts streamed from foun dry, machine shop and specialty manufacturers. And testing, once the crane parts were put to gether, And painting, after test results were found acceptable. Crated, tho crane was ready for ship ment and Klamath Machine's job was done on one crane. But not done for the dura lion. General Manager Hooker said the plant has enough war work alone to keep it operating at capacity until mid-1943, . That's a lot of cranes for a lot of ships. To got at a lot of Japs.

CHICAGO WHEAT CHICAGO, July 11 (P) Wheat, rye and oats prices de clined today as traders took mar ket action on the basis of in creased government estimates of 1942 production of those crops. Corn, however, rose almost a cent at times, reflecting the gov ernment report showing heavier consumption the past few months as well as forecast of a smaller crop than was produced last year even though acreage is larger. Grain men said this is the result of unfavorable weather during much of the seeding, and early growth period. Profit taking and hedging sales helped to weaken wheat and many traders anticipated larger receipts in the southwest next week might fill the small remaining terminal and sub-terminal storage space available.

Jap Landings in Aleutians Threaten Coast, Grant Says SAN DIEGO. Calif.. Julv 11 (JP) Hugh S.

'The Japs are going to have to be licked in the Pacific and that's not an easy job," Grant said in an interview. "We should not let the Coral sea and Midway victories lead us to believe that from now on It's easy sailing. "Japan is highly vulnerable to air attack and that will be one of the means whereby we can bring about the Japanese military power collapse," Grant declared.
