By the Associated Press.
An extremely urgent" need for
machine tools in defense industries
was reported by the once of Pro-
duction Management today in ap-
pealing for idle equipment to be sold
to armament makers as "a patriotic
service"
The appeal was issued by Mason
Britton. chief of the machine tool
section of the o. P. NJ, who said a
large number of factories have ma
chine tools that are either unused or
partially used. He named specifically
the automotiye, railroad, canning,
mining, textile, paper and printing
equipment industries.
Need Is Urgent.
Despite the remarkable record
of the machine tool industry in ex-
panding output of new equipment
from value of S200,000000 in 1899
to an estimated s750,0O0 900 in 194l, D."
Mr.. Britton declared, the need for
more machine tools is extremely
urgent.
In view of the necessity of i'm
mediately expanding the production
OF ornaments, this appeal is being
made to the patriotism of every own
er Of single idle machine tool"
He reported that the great test de-
mand is for boring mills, planers,
radial drills. lathes and milling ma
chimes and especially machine tools
of the heavier type"
1t is essential to the armament
program, he declared that such
pieces as are idle be placed at the
immediate disposal of defense pro-
duction. Wherever duplicate ma
chimes are being used part time, Mr.
Britton said, one could be used full
time and the other sold for defense
uses.
Prices Due to Be Reasonable.
Sales can be made either direct
to defense contractors, he said. OF
through secondhand machine tool
dealers who are in position to re-
condition them and resell them to
defense manufacturers.
1nduStrlalStS were reminded by
Mr.. Britton that the Defense Com
mission had established maximum
prices for secondhand tooling equip
mnt, but he said that in view of
the existing demand reasonable
prices certainly could be obtained.
Machine tools are those used to
make the machines which in turn
are employed in the manufacture of
finished products.
