ENDLESS chain conveyor, three and a half to four 'nil j XX long, said to be the longest In the world, has just been complet ed at the Rouge Plant of the Ford Motor Company at Dearborn, Michi gan. On it parts of Ford cars in the process of manufacture are trans ported from one building to another and completed pans are carried direct to railroad cars for shipment to branch assembly plants. The conveyor, which carries its cargo on suspended hooks, has a daily capacity for 300,000 parts weighing over 2,000,000 pounds. It supplants freight cars and trucks which have been used for the trans fer of many parts from one point to another in the Ford plant. This longest conveyor of them all Is a development of the Ford policy that nothing should he done by manual labor that could better be do.m bv machine. hi the early days of his manii- I '-during career.

Now there are literally miles of convey ors of various types In tl*e Ford plant.

Others transport red hot ingots of steel weighing nearly a ton each. Still others move outgoing shipments If it were not for the conveyors, according to officials of the Ford Company, mass production would not be possible on its present scale. i while at work in the shop.
