ed by local manufacturers, principal
ly makers OF motor cars, so that the
yearly sales are now somewhere in
the neighborhood of sS,00O,O00.
In view OF this showing and the
additional fact that Detroit Is the
recognized center OF the automobile
industry in America. II seems rather
singular that practically no machine
tools are manufactured in this city.
There are few concerns making
special tools. but these are only "a
drop In the bucket" Nearly all OF
the lathes, monitors. drilling. milling
and grinding machines and other
varieties OF machine tools that have

been shipped in from outside and dis
tributed through the local jobbers.
II will not be long, however, before
Detroit will have machine tool
plant OF its own, and one OF the finest
in the country. Several months ago,
through the efforts OF the Detroit
Board OF Commerce, large eastern
concern became interested in Detroit
as a manufacturing center and, after
looking over the ground thoroughly,
has decided TO locate here. The com
pany Is now negotiating for site and
expects to start moving not later than
June l. BY next fall, and perhaps
earlier, the new plant will be in full
operation.
Before the advent OF the motor car,
machine tools were found principally
in the general machine shops. The
rapid development OF the automobile
naturally created a new market and
the manufacturers soon found II
necessary to increase their facilities
IN order to keep pace with the de-
mand When IL is considered that In
Detroit alone, there are more than
35 car makers and about IS parts
concerns, nearly all OF which have
sprung into existence within the past
decade, and that every one OF these
concerns Is a user OF machine tools.
II can be readily seen that the
machine tool men have been doing
some business.
A tour OF Detroit's automobile fac
tories will reveal some OF the largest
and best-equipped machine shops in
the country, or in the world, for that
matter, for Detroit leads the world In
auto production. These constitute the
very heart OF the industry, for here
the various parts are fashioned, and
an automobile Is no better than It's
weakest part. Hence the necessity for
absolute precision and perfectg
clean work, which can be obtained
only by the use Of machine tools
Then, too, II would be impossible 70
turn out automobiles by hand, even
II II were practicable, and keep pace
with the popular demand Without
machine tools, therefore. the develop
ment Of the automobile TO its present
proportions would have been a physi.
cal impossibility.
As one result OF this remarkable
expansion In Detroit there has been
attracted to this city vast army OF
skilled mechanics. In fact, 1t Is claim
ed that Detroit numbers among her
working hosts a higher grade OF
mechanics than is found in any other
city in the country, and this has been
brought about largely through the in
creased use of machine tools.

MAGNETIC IMPORTANT FACTOR.
Its Development Began Long Before
Advent Of the Auto.

Long before the automobile became
practicable, the magnetic. which Is the
most important part OF the ignition
system OF every gasoline-driven motor
car, was in the process of develop.
ment The first magnetos were OF a
low-tension variety and were used IN
connection with a make and break
device designed by Daimler. the
pioneer builder Of gas engine motors
for vehicles.
From that time on the development
OF the magnetic was rapid and this
form OF ignition came into general
use among automobile builders early
in the present century. Practically
all the existing types today are based
on the fundamental principles inoor-
poraced in the first types by Robert
Bosch. a German inventor.
In the last few years several mag
neto factories, have been established
in the United States and the growth
Of this branch for the industry has
been proportionate TO that OF The
automobile itself.

INSULATED wIRE-ONE OF DE-
TRoIT'S IMPORTANT INDUSTRIES

Insulated wire is an article which
has been much in demand OF late
years, principally becaus of the ten
dency towards the use OF electricity
for the lighting Of dwellings and office
buildings Few homes are built In
Detroit nowadays without being wired
for electric lighting, with the result
that Detroit insulated wire works are
kept busy. The wire used for such
work Is insulated with rubber. and
the insulation is regarded as an abso-
lutte safeguard against danger from
shock Detroiters are given unusual
ly good protection in this regard, for
the reason that all wiring Is carefully
inspected by representative OF the
public lighting commission before be-
ing approved for use.
1t is q mistake. however, for one to
harbor the idea that street wires are
safe because they are insulated. These
wires carry heavy voltage and the in
sulation, which consists Of three
braids OF cotton. saturated with a COM
position OF pitch and other substances,
is not regarded by electricians as ah
solute protection. AS a matter OF fact,
no trained electrician will work about
charged wires without first separating
himself and the wires by means OF a
rubber sheet and seeing TO II that his
feet are resting on dry wood. Rubber
is no longer used for insulating street
wires because OF the advance In price
Of the commodity. Rubber tape which
used TO cost 81 pound, now costs 30.
Relative TO the dangers surrounding
electric wires, Frank II. Mistersky.
general superintendent OF the public
lighting commission, gives some
wholesale advice.
The Times can do the public a
good service by pointing out the dan
ger connected With electric wires,
said Mr. Mistersky. First OF all, tell
the public not TO NEEDLE with loose
wire, which may be considered dead.
IL is Just as liable 10 be charged as
Il is TO be dead, although IL may be
apparently disconnected with an cleo
trio current. IL may be charged by a
live wire crossing II at some point.
Ny advice 10 my own children and
wife is to never touch a wire OF any
kind"

ELECTRIC TRUCK
HAS COME TO STAY
Evolution Of This Type Is Most In
teresting Chapter in History Of
Electric Motors.

The most interesting chapter In the
development OF the electric vehicle
industry has been the evolution or
the electric truck from an object OF
curiosity to a most important posi-
ton In the scheme OF delivery of mer-
chandise, and 1t has been accomplish
ed In remarkably short time. Even
five years ago many business men ex-
pressed the greatest skepticism as to
the ultimate possibilities OF the cleo
trio truck. Those same business men
are now not engaged In discussing
the possible success OF the formerly
despised vehicle, but in showing how
and why the electric truck has proved
itself to be thoroughly reliable and
money-saving business asset. The
period of probation has been success
fully passed through. The period OF
recognized utility has been entered
into.
There is a great amount OF conserva-
ton even IN this progressive and push
full country. Innovations are not al
ways welcomed with open arms. but
when once accepted and approved
they are adopted with a whole-hearted
support that speaks volumes for the
spirit OF advancement that lies MD
den beneath the apparent indiffer'
ence OF skeptidsm. The recognition
accorded TO the electric trunk Is
Just tribute to the undoubted merits
which the vehicle possesses and It's
reputation Is now based on accom-
plished facts.
The electric truck has certain ad'
vantages over the old horse-drawn
vehicle which are apparent on the
most casual consideration. One OF
these advantages may be briefly sum
med up as space value" The cleo
trio truck, when not absolutely in
use. is stored In the barn, the garage
whatever building Is devoted TO that
purpose. II occupies only the actual
space required by It's dimensions. On
the other hand, the horse-drawn We
hicle required just the same space
while added to that is the space re-
ouired for the stabling OF the horses
and for storing OF forage That means
space value relatively Of TO
against the horse-drawn vehicle In
favor OF the electric. Also the electric
truck is not liable to run up doctors
bills. The repairs required are me
chanical. The mechanician overhauls
the car. decides what repairs are
needed and also just how long those
repairs will require. 1t is a matter OF
definite calculation of time. On the
other hand, should horse be brought
in lame, there Is no certainty: the
loss OF that horses service may con
tinue for weeks, even months. and all
the time the expense OF his keep
and his repairs" in the shape OF
treatment, continues.
The electric truck is simple and
easy to operate. Any driver of aver.
age intelligence can be quickly train
ed and become an expert driver OF an
electric truck, and should he become
sick, he is not so hard TO replace.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1911-04-22

II Is not so much in the speed OF
the vehicle that the superiority lies,
but in the steady and persistent keep
ing up OF a certain required speed,
keeping II up In way that would be
absolutely impossible for any horses
To do.
A speed OF IL miles an hour. con-
sistently keep up, would meet all the
requirements OF the modern and up
to-date service.
That the vehicle truck has come TO
stay, and to occupy very prominent
place In delivery systems, Is amply
proved by what is being accomplished
by those firms, steadily increasing In
number who utilize its services. The
manufacturers are prepared 10 de
velop different styles OF vehicles to nj
different requirements after careful
analysis of the situation. In this way
the desired efficiency is speedily ar
rived At. while the cost Is reduced.

While the principle is substantially
the same in all magnetos, there is an
endless variety In styles and models.
One of the larger concerns manufac-
lures and carries In stock more than
$50 magnetic models. In the Larger
cities, like New York and Chicago,
garages are maintained exclusively
for the proper installation OF these
magnetos. the work being in charge
OF the most skilled mechanics, Who
can tell at a glance just what style
of magnetic is best suited TO the car
In question.
The magnetic has been an important
factor in the development OF the auto
on the quality OF the ignition. The
dual system OF ignition has been mp
piled 10 the magnetic with excellent
results in recent years. With this ar
rangement II is possible to produce
ignition either by the magnetic or b.
the battery and coil. operating on the
same set OF plugs.

Who Hears Cases.

Mayor Bowel is the first mayor

with these matters. always turned
over these cases to the Justices of

ever. that the Mayor shall hold
court. and Mayor Bowel is living
strictly up To the letter.

true that the wages of postal en-
ployes there are very much lower
than here, and the average distance
Il letter isca rr:ed is less than in

In view of the fact that the
English are not as voluminous letter

the parcel rate is low there and
high here, it would seem as if our

ale to so manage its affairs as to
avoid any loss without increasing

IN BIG WILL CASE.
Attorneys Hess & Hess Employed
For Construction of $4,000 Will
At South Bend.

Jacob. Isaac and John Witt, sons
of Mrs. Christina Witt, who died
Oct. 26. 1910. have appeared in the
circuit court at South Bend and ask
ed that the will of their mother be
construed by the court to give mean
ing to its terms. The defendants
are Mrs. Christina Harp and others
also heirs under the instrument.
The will provided that the execut-
or sell certain real estate when he
received a reasonable offer, but that
to avoid forced sale he might hold
it three years. The proceeds, after
other requests made were satisfied,
were TO be divided share and share
alike among the other children. eX-
cept that Jacob. Isaac and John
Witt were not to be paid directly,
but in trust. the property being re-
served to their children. Now the
court is asked to determine the kind
of title they hold in the estate and
if the executor must hold the land
three years before selling. Attorneys
Hess & Hess of this city are the at
torneys for the plaintiffs, assisted
by F. II. Wurzer of South Bend.
The amount of the estate involved is
from $1SO0O.O0 to $20O00.00.
