I think that supports my hypothesis that it was 
a shortage of lead and tin.
If you put a TBY-2 next to a TBY-8, you'll find
the solder in the late-war -8 is far harder to melt
and lower quality than that used in the earlier -2. 
The difference is the amount of lead in the mix,
lead going to bullets of course.
If Uncle Scam was short of lead, how much
more the Germans in WWII  or Russia under
Uncle Joe's 1950s socialism?
