By "moved," OCD meant allocated to specific smelters. Actually only a fraction of this amount had been taken away...

Allowing for baby carriages, he still hopes to get 8,400,000 Ib. of aluminum out of the 14,000,000 Ib. of scrap collected. Estimated Army, Navy, Lend-Lease and "essential" civilian requirements in 1942: 1,400,000,000 Ib...
