Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Scratch another “impossible”
One of the toughest assignments ever
put up to the Ordnance Department
of the U. S. Army had to do with this
seemingly simple item shown here.
It is a shell case for a 75-mm gun. Ordinarily
it is made of easily-worked brass.
But brass was desperately scarce. The
tough and urgent job was to make it instead
from a billet of plain, ordinary,
run-of-the-mill steel like this:
To work in our
fast-firing 75's,
this shell case
must have certain
definite and dependable
characteristics, and no maybes about it.
It must be exactly right as to size.
It must not be one iota too hard at any
point, lest it crack in firing, nor one iota
too soft, lest it expand and jam the breech
block.
It must stand repeated firings and remain
reloadable.
The job of working out the method of
accomplishing this was a long and puzzling
one that called for many minds and
much experimenting.
But today these cases are coming from
Buick plants at a rate that runs in the
hundreds of thousands every month.
And they are coming out true in every
respect to the rigid Army specifications
which obviously must apply to such
important materiel.
So you can scratch off another "impossible"
as an accomplished fact.
You can chalk off millions of pounds of
precious brass saved for other vital military
jobs where no alternate material
can be used.
And you can go ahead and buy more War
Bonds confident that this and like forms
of American industrial will-to-win are
making each Bond buy the utmost for
Victory.
When better war goods (automobiles) are built Buick will build them
