For the benefit of those who do not have a clear idea of the matter, it may be stated that a machine tool is a master machine used to make parts for other machines, including other machine tools. Ordinarily we think of a tool as an instrument used by hand, such as a ham- mer, chisel, wrench, saw and the which are more specifically designated as hand tools. But machine tools are often massive affairs, sometimes weighing 50 tons, and requiring much time to build. A | machine tool for fashioning armor plate, for example, may cost up to $250,000. Tke principal uses of machine tools are te shape metals for the building of all kinds of milling, planing, turning, boring, grinding and other op- Not all m hine tools are of large “ze, but some of the smaller ones must be built with such preeision as to make their rapid production diffi ut. Sven before the too} itself is begun, it is often necessary to know precisely what the size and shape of its product is to be. In other words, the specifications of the airplane, tank or other instrument of war must be determined before machine tools can be designed and built to produce its | special parts. Although the United States is a coun- try of immense machire production, the | machine tool industry itself is not large, | having had only about 250 plants, with not | more than 50,000 workers, at the time the | new defense program was started. machines, by erations. HOME WORK Comptroller Lee does well to give notice that the various state agencies must | “patronize home industry” in their print: , ing contracts, om the bills will not be paid by his office. P| The Comptroller has the backing of the law in this position, which requires that printing jobs must, in all cases, be let to | the lowest bidder “who shall manufacture | the same within the state,” and that bids must be asked from “two or mere printing houses within the state.” The state buys a vasi lot of printing, and the Comptroller is to be commended } for reminding all state agencies that they | must give the work to Florida concerns, for ithe benefit of Florida printers. s in the Nation’s | in | aia | like, | | The Harry Lang, church deacon jof Toledo, was caught carrying off five gallons of paint from a store had entered at night, jand charged with burglary.
