LIGHT BEAHiS USED
TO f,1BE LIMIT
Oakland Factory Pjqneer in
Adopting; Many Scientific
Instruments -
Instruments, once confined to
the laboratories of scientists, are
now found as erery day working
tols in some of the finer automo
bile factories, so exacting 'have
become their measurement and
fit requirements, in theSr endeav
or to whip Titration an lengthen
ihe life of wearing pars.
With higher standards have
come (closer limits of fit and bal
ance. The ten-thousandth of an
inch j supersedes ' the the , thou
sandth and the thousandth re
places the hundredth -fehlch has
necessitated new scientific instru
ments' to gage the' finer limits
and assure the results expected.
One among the many scores of
scientific devices used in measur
ing the close limit operations in
Oakland Six factories is the
crankshaft ..vibration I balancing
machine which uses a light team
under ' octagonal prism glass X to
measure the unbaUnced condition
and to Indicate its location and
amount at any point on the crank
shaft. , v ; .-" ' ;
- For years the light beam has
been used for experimental work
in JIne limits in ' the scientific
laboratories because a light Ijeam
will pass,' through the most min
ute opening an openlngr which
can neither be seen nor deter
mined by any other type gauge.'
Thus as the crankshaft spins In
its testing 'machine; the operator
detects the 'exact point where the
vibration, is set up and by grind
ing a few minute grains of steel
from the point i indicated brings
the crankshaft into almost vibra
jtionless travel. , , '
"This balance testing Instrument
is a development of the1 General
Motors Research Division and the
Oakland Division is pioneer in its
use in factory production
Some Idea of the ruthless de
mand of : engineers ' for itiore sa
ere limits . may be appreciated
when it is told that 33 operations
In Oakland ' Six engine parts are
rigidly held within three- ten

AAA Seeks Cooperation of
Parents in New Line of
Endeavor This "Year"
WASHINGTON, D. C. (Spec
ial) -Spring like weather", ; re
turning to all parts of the coun
try and stimulating the play spir
it of millions Qt children, places
an ' especial responsibility upon
parents to pay close attention t6
youngsters' ' outdoor , ; activities,
says a statement issued today by
Kational ; Headquarters of ' tHe.
American Automobile association
in which an appeal is made to fa
thers and mothers to take a larg
er part in reducing traffic mis
haps Involving children. :
' Because they nave no other
place, to play, millions of young
sters ,take their bats', balls, tops,
marbles and skipping ropes into
the' streets, creating a tremendous
traffic hazard, orflclais- of the na
tional motoring agency point out.
It Is - the function - of the parents
to-discourage this practice when
ever and wherever possible and to
make this work constructive par
ents, should assist their children
in finding play space that is safe.
A Httfe effort along this line will
prove vwell worth while,' accord
ing' to Thos." P. Henry, president
of the A. A. A. ' f - -
' "Children will play and If no
other place is available they will
take to the streets regardless of
trafflc'conditlonsv' ay "Mr. Hen
ry. "Telling a youngster to keep
out of the street Is not enough.
Oven the obedient child forgets,
in. its enthusiasm for baseball,
rajpe-skijpping or some other - form
oft play, that the street is danger
ous. '
('The wise parent will go far-
then than merely telling the child
not to play in the street. He or
she, wili attempt to find an avail
able; safe' place to play. School
playgro'tnds, of coarse; are avail-,
able tOfjtbousaBds of youngsters!.
Many, however; 'are left 'unpro
vided for In this scheme, , which
constantly is being expanded.
"It ; is unfortunately .true that
many; owners of yacant .lots,
which make ideal playgrounds,
forbid youngsters to-ns them for
this purpose. ;
"Parents, In such a circun
stance, have a real chance, to.be
of service to themselves, - their
children and the cause of safety.
If the . organized adults t of a
neighborhood approach; the irras
cible owner In the' proper way,
they may 'find it relatively easy
to induce him to change his po
sition. Motor . dubs fa various
parts of the country affiliated
with the A. A. A. have assisted
in this work and their records
show very few failures.
Conditions Tart In "each com'
inanity., bu the parents who set
themselves r Intelligently io the
tail, '4? finding playgrounds for
their children usually will find
ihelr efforts' successful, the state
ment declares. Responsibility of
the parents ' does not end even
here, it is pointed out and, where
ever it is possible, it is urged that
parents supervise the jplay -of
their children. X."V,,- ':;
On this point. Mr. Henry says:
"After; a playground has been
found, the parent" of the tery
small child, at least, should see
to" "it that the youngster Is con
ducted safely to the" place and ac
companied by a responsible' per
son, for the journey both ways
usually Is made when traffic ; is
at its height. Of course', it : is
not likely that very many parents
actually can fifld the time to su
pervise the. after-school play of
their children but' those that can
do so should not let anything else
interfere' ' .. ' . .
"We are a long way. perhaps,
from the Utopian era In which
children wilt have adequate play
space that will keep them off the
streets, but there ,1s much ''"' that
parents can do to bring that day
nearer. It is to be hoped that
the current season, usually a dan
geroris one, wfll be marked ' by
real progress in that 'direction.'

with i cranes great ? buckets 'of

to the same goal--the fulfillMent
of jBiiick's slogan,, 'tSEben'tjeflfcr
automobiles are built, Buick will
build them." ., '.i-Pi Lf t
Whererer possible, machinery
does the work; Instead of human
hands. Even the smallest opera
tion Is carefully studied to reduce
waste motion and waste 'material.
Careful plans are made to sare
steps tor the workers. Many of
these things seem haTdly worth
considering in themselves but,
totaled up, they-represent a vast
saving to be used In putting great
er value in the Buick. -
Kauallng the excellence of the
great' factory and 'its wonderful
manufacturing - equipment is ; the
strength of the Buick personnel,
which directs jtbe development of
the Buick product and Baick poll
cies. The two production facili
ties and, capable men combine to
give " Snick an organization a
noteworthy for its qualities as the
Buick car iUelf. ..4',;rL.V.
.Nowhere In the. industry. does
one find such a remarkable group
(of leaders men, " each , "a" 1 recog-
jaired authority la liis special

and devoted to the same, ideala
The Buick organization,- again
like the '.Buick car, has been long
In ' the," making. Several ot the
executives have been with BuMck
since the very beginning. , others
joined shortly after, while . most
of the men noW holding respons
ible . positions have been, with
Buick for at Aeast ,ten Tear.5c, j
,ju the three great divisions of
tne organ izaun engineering
manufacturing,' and ' executive-
are found men of unnsnally Jiigh
calibre, men of ; standing and of
broad and. practical' experience
and knowledge. For years they
have: been contributing their best
effort . and applying the benefits
of their., experience to the im
provement of Buick cars. . '
. As any mannfacturer.'or archi
tect know, it la baa thing to plan
and 4u'ite another to produce" and
distribute a economically . and effi
ciently what has . been, '.designed.
Because Buick executives in the
various t departments have been
working together so Ion grand
have such a keen interest In their
m utual.. . problems: V their; jtorees
have been co-ordinated to a point
where the greatest possibilities, of
M . S

are available to , Buick owners.
Employes, too, in the many Buick
plants are men and women of" un
usual ability rand understanding.
Most of them hare been with
Buick for many years. . .
tA this poini.liC is. Interesting
to know that the same engineers
who still direct the- work of de
signing each 'new'-Buick "ear were
on the original. Buick engineering
staff, and collaborated in design
ing the first Buick valve-ln-head
motor -car. ; -- w -
Under their veteran hands, the
Buick engineering department has

A1I this scientific 1 apparatus.
and all the endless' experimehttrig
and investigation that Is going On
through Its 'nse, '' has helped to
make possible ' the Buick car of
today. For it Is through the de
velopment of new alloy ; metals.
through the new application of old
engineering principles. . .through
the gradual refinement of the
chassis, part by part that prog
ress is achieved. j' . p
You can ' appreciate the full
meaning of the Buick factory only
by examining the Buick car, com
paring it with ' other cars, and
with Buicka of former years,
Buick is proud of the cars' that
It built in, the past. Each repre
sented the furthest development
possible at the time: But con
trasting these models, of former
years with the .1927 BuickS you
see amazing advancement. Yet
prices are comparatively un
changed. ' . -.'1"'.'.'
In that fact lies the true signifi
cance of the Buick factory.
The counterbalanced crank
shaft, the torsion '. balancer, the
rubber' mountings for; the engine,
all the things that make the per
formance of the 192? Buicks vi
brationless beyond ' belief, are
made possible because of the sav
ings and economies effected ' by
the Buick factory. Money saved
On one operation is used m apply
ing some other advancement to
your car.
The vacuum ventilator that
draws off engine fumes and pre
vents oil dilution,' the oil filter,
the air .cleaner, the - gasoline
strainer, Buick tour-wheel' brakes,
all the Buick advancements that
have contributed so much to mo-
are due In large part to economies L Much Of the Charm Of thje
that are possible only in a plant
of the .tremendous size of Buick 's.
Study the bird-'a-eyis view again.
Could you express i the signifi
cance of this gigantic grpup of

It can be done.
This is the significance of the
