OUTDOING MALES
Adjustments In Plants Nec
essary To Reach Full Pro
duction: Gals Fear Not
Br John Wllhtlm
United Presi Correspondent
Detroit (U.PJ Henry Ford'i ef
ficiency experts whose admir
ation li confined to well-turned
bearings and not ankles today
reported on the performance 01
some 33,000 women war-workers
hired by the four largest
plants of the concern.
Job tor Job, the women have
out-produced the men In most
eases. But to effect this record,
certain amount of adjustment
was necessary. And, the survey
emphasizes, It was the $715,000,
000 converted automobile con
cern that adjusted to the women,
and not vice versa.
Convert Machines
During the past year, while
an average of about ZOO women
a day were being assimilated In
to the huge River Rouge, High
land Park, Lincoln Park and
Willow Run plants. Ford offi
cials found they had to make
some changes to accommodate
them, for these reasons:
1. Female workers didn't per
form well in extreme iieat. Such
divisions as the supercharger
test cells had - to be air-conditioned
before the women reach
ed the men's work rate. .
2. Women, naive about me
chanical might, Just didn't fear
machines. . Before an adequate
safety quotient was reached,
the concern had to "fool-proof"
machines with extra guards,
two-handle controls, and re
placement of foot pedals with
push buttons.
3. Women are still the weaker
sex. Handling of heavy turrets,
done manually by the men, is
now done by mobile electric
cranes operated by women.
4. Equipped with a Ford
developed "borematlc" machine,
women turned out machined
parts equal to those of the best
skilled workmen and In great
er quantity.
Ifolse Scares Women
Ford experts are proud of
their accomplishment In "adapt
lng the Ford Motor Company to
Women."
"Look at them," guide
points out "They're running
ceiling cranes, driving hl-low
trucks (scampering about the
plant with platforms of parts),
and getting by In every depart
ment a testimonial to the flex
ibility of a great industry."
On one sole count has the
Ford company found women de
ficient. "They're timid about op
erating punch presses because
they make quite noise when
they close," the company ex
plained. "It did no good to tell
them safety controls make the
presses accident-proof they're
' Just too reared to work fast on
.them."
The efficiency men, who did
so well in adjusting the Ford
-company to women, haven't
solved this one yot.
