MARVELLOUS ACCURACY
Gauge So Accurate That Heat of
Hand VIII Expand Metal Until
1t Will Not Fit.

"one hears a great deal about the
accuracy of construction of automo-
bile parts" said Joe E. Fields, local
representative of the Chalmers Motor
Co. 'In the Chalmers factory are
some striking demonstrations Of this
accuracy
"a single instance will prove the
point. An inspector was recently test
ing wrist pins which are a part of
the piston assembly. In this work is
used a test gauge for the diameter of
The pins, which allows a variation OF
a little less than nothing. So accurate
is the machining of this part that the
heat Of the hand, as one holds a
wrist pin, will expand the metal SO
that it will not fit.
This does not sound plausible even,
but it is an actual fact which is dem
onstrated every day. The Chalmers
inspectors cannot use this wonderful
accurate gauge if they hold the wrist
pin to be tested, in the hand for, say
ten seconds.
"When one considers that this same
degree Of accuracy is maintained
throughout the car, one has a ready
of the endurance and
smoothness Of the well constructed

I have committed no crime, unless you
may consider the making Of false
statements to the effect that Louis
Summer1eld had committed a crime, a
crime. My conscience is a clear as
the sky of an ideal day. Something
I know that SkuIason, Johnson and
Mckenzie have not.
Their punishment is coming as sure
as there is a God in heaven. 1t may
not be on this earth. but there will
be a t~:>l some day in which their
false tongues cannot rule. When that
judgment day comes, and they come
before the judge of all judges, they
cannot escape the punishment due
them.
I care not for the name they have
placed upon me nor the serving of
time. The ruin Of my life is not a
drop in the bucket of ruin, of which
its ruin shall accomplish. There is
my father who has so h%onorably
fought for the establishment Of his
sons innocence. There are my broth
Is and sisters, who keenly feel this
