...needs through the Council's cross index of Detroit tools and equipment, can get advice on simplifying its operations from the best brains in the business. No problem is too big, nor is even Army red tape always sacred: when tank production slowed from scarcity of the alloy steels specified, Ordnance accepted substitutes recommended by the automotive engineers, had so much confidence in their judgment that it skipped the usual delaying tests on Army proving grounds...
...obliquely, as a carpenter drives a nail. Each set of pins is then locked into a pin-bar, and the two bars are bolted to a long extension rod, forming a sort of external auxiliary bone.
