OUT OF THE FRYING PAN

INTO THE SPITFIRE

AN aluminium frying pan to-day may be flying

as part of a Spitfire in six weeks. Why and How?

Why is it needed? Alu- minium is the earth's com monest metal-composing one- twelfth of the globe.

Unfortunately it is never found in the pure state, only in combination with other elements. The combination called Bauxite Clay is by far the enslest to refine and the chief source of Bauxite is the Baux region of France.

We have temporarily lost that supply, and the frying

· pans are a "stop-gap" to tide over any possible delay in shipments from the ample re- serves in British and Dutch Gulana, Africa, India, the U.S.A. and other countries.

But why frying pans? What about the masses of aluminium in the car-breakers" yards 1 Because kitchen utenalla are pure aluminium

which can be melted and used at once. Other forms are mainly alloys which have to bo freed of several metals by a long complex process before they can be ro-employed."

Formerly this melt-and- use-again process was impos- sible. Every aluminium article rapidly forms a thin, hard outer layer of oxide or "rust." Only recently has a way been found to remove this "rust" from melted-down aluminium.

The Kitchen-to-Spitfire jour ney is rapid. Lorries dia- tributo the pans to selected factories all over Britain. Here gangs of sorters get to work, throwing out any allow or and pans, non-aluminium wrenching off non-aluminium handles, knobs and rivets. This is important, for a trace
