Office 2nd door north of Minor & Co., formerly occupied,
by Dr. Culhjertson.
each will be la right relation to the
other.
It was bard to drag ua away from
the automatic turret lathe that lur
faces and finishes fly wheels. It
works as. though somewhere within
its metal vitals a brain was con
cealed. The workman has only to
put on the rough fly wheel, adjust the
first set of tools, push the lever, and
let the machine do the rest.
The cast iron is peeled oft as red
ily as wax. Sometimes four or five
operations are performed at once.
When one set of cuttings is done, the
machine stops automatically, and 'the
next set of tools comes automatically
into place. Twenty operations are
performed in fourteen minutes. 26
pounds of metal are removed from
the wheel. One man watchs three of
these machines.
The vertical cutter of gears on fly
wheels almost matches the turret
lathe In Interest.
Moving up and down, the cutter
at the same time slowly revolves,
the fly wheel turning in the opposite
direction. By the time a complete
revolution of the fly wheel has been
accomplished, all the gears are cut.
We all fell for the aluminum foun
dry and for the machines that finish
the aluminum parts.
The multiple spindle drill bores 81
holes in the crank case in one opera
tion. This is a proof of the superior
ity of machine process, for the holes
must be in the right relation to
each other.
Another machine cmooths the sur
face of the crank cases, finishing sev
en in nine minutes'.
Diamonds, real diamonds, are con
sumed with apparently reckless in
difference in the wet grind room.
Placed in small tools they are used
to true the emery wheels on which
are ground the bearing surfaces of
the crank shafts.
They are bought in $15,000 lots.
We looked on while forests of lum
ber were being turned into bodies in
the wood work department. This
lumber comes in by carloads. As
21 f feet ot wood is requred on ft
small touring car, we could readily
see why so much was required.
You make this round and you can
understand this company's immense
consumption of material 18,000
000 pounds of solder annually, 1,
500,000 pounds of tin and lead for
smouldering, 10,000,000 pounds of
brass and copper, 12,000,000 feet of
steel tubing and 125,000 tons of steel.
But what Impressed me Store
than all was the department in which
materials are tested. They have to
know a thing is right before it goes
into a Willy-Overland car. That's
how they safe-guard the public.
Tests in the physical and chemical
laboratories are made In two ways
Completed steel parts are subjected
to terrific tests. Axles are twisted
like rools of taffy candy. Small bit
of steel, six inches long, cut from
completed axles, are attached at both
j ends, and literally pulled apart. The
registering machine shows 200,000
pounds to the square inch necessary
I to accomplish this, whereas a resis
tance up to 125,000 pounds would be
i proof of ample tensible strength.
I Springs are tried for their resis
tance.
Steel articles are also pnt through
both heat and chemical tests. The
former determines the amount of
carbon, an important factor; the oth
er determines the chemical compo
sition of the steel.
Naturally every operation In all
the plant tends finally toward the as
sembly conveyor tracks. There are
four of them, each 645 feet long.
We followed the whole operation
We began at one end where the fram
es and gear systems are put In place.
By the time the other end of the con
veyor is reached the frame has grown
into the finished car.
From overhead parts are lowered
by chains. Along the way men are
attaching th parts. Tto frame Is
not in motioa all the Use. bat can
be instantly connected wiU the links
of an endless ckaia and seat on Its
way whenever desired.
Top quality of workmanship Is as
sured by having each mam do work
on which he is an expert, if it is only
to tighten a bolt.
Lines of motors, already tested,
wait on both sides of the conveyor.
These are pat into place, cantilever
springs are put on, steering mechan
ism and lighting and starting sys
tems are adjusted. CradoaUy the
car takes form.
Instead of painting the chassis with
a brush, a sprayer is wed. It does
the work more rapidly more aniform-
ly and at a lower coat.
The tracks of the assembly lead di
rectly through ovens in which the
paint is baked. Fenders and running
boards come into their places.
Wheels with the tires on are
brought along on a runway. First
comes a front wheel, then a rear
wheel. You ought to see them put
on the tires. It Is lighting. By a
special device, invented by one of the
men in the department, the tire can
be put on a wheel in three seconds.
From overhead bodies are dropped
down on the chassis and soon made
fast.
The car is now ready for its tests.
Rapidly revolving wheels in the floor
engage the wheels of the car, and
send them at high speed to make sure
that they are operating freely.
This is not a test nnder the power
of the car. ,
Gasoline and water are then put
into the ear. It is poshed off the
track into another room, till its
wheels are In contact with wheels in
the floor.
With the use of the self starter,
the machine gets its first chance to
prove the success of its construction.
It surprised me the way the mo
tors started. They were off with a
rush. There was no hitch or delay.
All the work had been done right.
In a few minutes the motor was
working apparently almost as
smoothly as if It had been a year on
the road.
We saw how the cars are shipped.
The export department has the big
feature in this line. The finished car
undergoes preparation by having Its
wheels taken off and fastened on the
under side of the frame which forms
the top covering for the car.
The top is covered with tar paper
as a protection against the elements
and all is securely boxed.
lAlong comes a big crane running
in an overhead groove a quarter of a
mile long. The operator sits in a
cab not unlike that of a railroad en
gineer. Chains grab the box contain
ing the car, and within forty five sec
onds have carried it outside the build
ing and placed it on the flat car.
It is processes like these, all that
I have described, that explain why
every car in the Willys-Overland line
is what it is at bo low a cost. Slak
ing so many is the. answer, making
them to go all over the world and
having profited by the experiences of
users everywhere. Quantity produc
tion, immense and costly machines,
skilled designing, careful inspection,
accurate tests of material, efficient
factory methods, rapid assembly and
advanced methods of handling, all
these we saw; all these tell why the
Willys-Overland Company lives up to
its ideals of a car for every need or
taste, price, class and service right.
We saw the line. It is quality from
the lowest priced to the headliner.
It wil be the marvel of the automo
bile shows'.
This sightseeing tour is only one
angle of this convention. We heard
policy defined by the various offi
cials. The two day's program Included
a rollicking beefsteak dinner, a more
formal banquet, a ministrel show, a
concert by the famous Overland Band
and a concert by the Glee Club.
Finally there was a speech by the
moving genius of It all, Mr. Willys
himself.
You will agree with me that this
is some project to have been put over
all within one plant and by the peo
ple of the organization. .

BUICK DESIGN
BUICK VALVE-IN-HEAD POWER
The lightness of the Buick Valve-in lead motor and
not the enthusiasm of its salesmen has made the Buick
conspicuous for leadership.
This new four has a Buick Valve-in-Head motor (with
electric starter) which develops thirty-five horse power
on brake test and is so reliable for ruggtd service that no
eulogy is necessary among "men who Know buick." g
Its lines are beautiful.. Finish and color are exception

ered floor and running board, with aluminum bindings,
give a trimness of appearance that is peculiarly Buick.

Acting District Forester, T. P. Mac
Kenzie, Portland, Oregon says tbat
great progress is being made in the
economical handling of stock on the
National Forests ranges. More than
three score stock associations are or
ganized in Oregon and Washington
to cooperate with the Forest Service.
They also cooperate with one anoth
er. A unique instance ot this is
seen in plans devised to prolong the
serviceable period of bulls on the
range.
Many associations purchase all 1
bulla for use on the National For-!
est range occupied by the cattle of .
their members in order to Insure that
only high grade animals will be turn
ed out. Because ot the 111 effects of
inbreeding, usually the serviceable
period ot a bull on the range Is two
years. To prolong this period to at
least ten years, one association plans
to exchange bulls with another at
the end of each two years. The
Forest Service la encouraging these
plans, for it means the production ot
only high grade and valuable stock
on the National Forest ranges.
