Formerly machine made light vehicles were
inferior because wrought iron, steel and sea-
soned wood bad to be worked up by hand.
Cast iron and malleable iron only were sus-
ceptible Of being shaped by machinery, and
no machinery for the production Of finished
woodwork had been invented. Consequently
the consumer could oni. choose between the
extremes Of expense and utility. There was
no happy medium. Now, however, wrought
iron and steel are as easily worked as cheese
and as for woodwork, machinery does nearly
all Of it. Clips bolts and often small pieces
are stamped out of the red hot iron just as
we'll and infinitely faster than they could be
made by hand; and the heavy iron work Is
done by drop forging. Woodwork is planed,
carved aud mortised by machinery. All this
saving Of labor cuts down the price to the
consumer Of the first class article, while It
takes nothing from the quality Of the mate
rails The day Of malleable and cast iron
road vehicles may even now be said to have
quite passed. -lnterv:ew in st. Louis Globe
