Already, half of U.S. steel production was under DO (Defense Order) priority, yet the all-important U.S. aircraft industry was running short of special-alloy steels. And while the main emphasis had been on new plant expansion, there had been little check on whether it was for arms or unnecessary civilian goods. As a result, structural steel had grown so short that new restrictions had to be placed last week on residential building and industrial expansion. Example: the petroleum industry was told that it would get no more...
...Squeezed Blades. Curtiss-Wright Corp. has developed a method to squeeze out airplane propeller blades like toothpaste by forcing red-hot alloy steel through dies under enormous pressure. By saving 40% of the man-hours formerly used in machining and finishing, Curtiss-Wright says that one of its giant presses can now turn out three times as many blades a day as the entire aircraft industry did daily during World...

Mining Engineer Stanley discovered Monel metal, widely used industrial alloy, helped develop the famed Nipissing (cobalt) mine. In World War II, International Nickel delivered to the Allies 1,500,000,000 Ibs. of nickel and 1,750,000,000 Ibs. of copper...
Last week, after solemn thought, the New York City Board of Education placed an order for 50,000 pounds of nickel-silver alloy. The purpose: to provide every schoolchild in the city with a G.I.-type identification tag bearing name, address, and (if arrangements for large-scale typing can be made) blood-type. The board hoped to have the tags ready by spring...
