Runes of men and systematized
method" that save time and labor.
Quality, however, la not sacri
ficed. In fact it 1h assured through
, faultless machine methods and
ff renter precision instruments.
Kvery step in tho progress of
manufacture is checked up and
tested, after which an en tiro as
sembly is tried out and checked
Ogriin.
i To insure this quality, however,
oiio step in tho manufacturing pro-javt-H
has to bo so precise as to
'forego tho advantages of quantity
production. That is In the design
of parts and tho making of put
terns. Design covers every single purt
of the inuchlne, down to tho last
nut and bolt. For this purpose
the automobile shop has a largo
room where a score or more of
mechanical engineers constantly
work on plans and tho Improve
ment of their design.
"Ii IVvrgiiigs" FirHt
With blue prints of approval
plant made, those requiring forg
ing of parts, such as tho crank
shafts, the camshafts, connecting
rods and axles, go down to tho
forgo shop. Here these parts uro
pounded out uf bars of red-hot
steel the kind that's strong, tough
and not brittle by an electric drop
hummer. Only the rough shape 1a
attained, for machines later mill
these parts down to the proper
measurements.
Other plans go to the pattern
making department for the cast
ing operations on crunkcases, en
gine blocks and other parts.
"Wood patterns aren't ised in
modern foundry practice, for they
wouldn't lust long under tho stress
of quantity production and con
stant use. So molds are made from
them and aluminum patterns aro
cast. These may be used time on
end, or until a change is mado in

NOT PROBABLE-; v
It is possible that you, as a car owner,
will regularly attend lo the greasing and
oiling of every vital point of the engine
and chassis but we believe the great ma
jority are inclined to neglect this work be
cause at best it is not a pleasant task.
Figure it out you'll find it economical to
let us do it.

which depends tho success of tho
custlng operations. That is a check
on the sands used in the molds.
Kueh batch Is tested to seo

of binder to keep it firm anjd,
whether It wilt still permit tho, es
cape of 'the' gases' that, form when
the- molten' metal- is poured into
tho mold. If ' these gases can't

the spots . where . the molds 'are
pqnred. Tho pattern is set on a
pernian-'iiL. base. a wooden, box Is.
placed around it unfl the sand is
dropped in. . .
Holes are gouged out for pour-ing-the
metal, the mold Is tamped
down or packed In by ah electric
vibrator or pounding machine, it
is smoothed off at the top, -turned
over and tho .pattern Is lifted off.
That leaves ' a smooth, clean
mold, hair of tho crunkcaso or
other part to be cast. The other
half is molded in tho same -way.
Tho twu are put face to face, to
for ni an "entire mold und they are
roirdy for - casting. .

Once done, the molds are lined
up In a double row between which
a crane I ravels. A J.-irge bucket or.
hot' m'etal.tnkeu from ,tno yujiola is
conducted down this line, slopping
for n moment -at each mold and
pouring u quantity of the metal tr
io it. One man does the work, sit
ting In a hanging cax that pre- i
cedes the metal und controlling tlio
entire operation by eleedielly.
The metal is ulluwed to set and
cool. Then the hwiIiIh are 1nl'ii
up and sand shaken out. -That;
sand, h:iviiig undergone n clienibral
change under the heat of the cast
ing. Is sent t hrough a cleansing
and retreating process that makes
it fit for further use.
The castings are cleaned of tho
sand that sticks to them. Exl rauc
ous nwttil is knocked or cut off,
while other sections are built up by
electric welding, so that the entire
part may roughly fit the dimen
sions of the orglnal pattern.
Hmall brass parts aro cast In a
separate Toundry, In a smaller way
Mere. In the more modern plants,
el.-etile cupolas or furnaces heat
the metal.
Jn the-ease of the engine Mock,
the belter plants set this part out
under the weather for us long as a
year to season It thoroughly. Thus
this part which has to wlthstund
the strain of great heat 'and 'in
