FORD PRODUCTION
ON GIGANTIC SCALE
Molten Steel in Foundry Is
Carried to MoIds in Great
Conveyors.

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 15.-Thousands
of columns have been written about
how mammoth production has been
accomplished in the parent plant Of the
Ford Motor Car Company. By the de-
velopment of special machinery. But
every time one goes through the plant
he sees something new. In the foundry,
which is one of the most important units
of the giant plant, the handling OF the
molten steel has been brought to the
highest point Of efficiency.
In the ordinary foundry the molder
makes his molds and when heat Is
ready for pouring each molder takes
his ladle and falls in line to secure
from the cupola the molten metal Tor
his molds Much time is lost by the
men walking between their floors"
and the metal source.
In the Ford factory the molten steel
is brought to the molds In giant con-
veyors. In making many OF the parts
the pouring is done directly from the
big conveyor but on some Jobs the
molders fill their ladies from the con-
yeyor. In this way the men move but
few steps from their benches and
floors.
Statistics about the giant factory of
the Ford company never lose their IN
terest. The production for the season
of 1913." which ended September 80. was
$4,000 cars. During the rush season
the plant turned out 1,o00 cars per day.
Approximately 1900 men are employed
in the parent plant. to say nothing OF
the additional thousands in the various
assembling plants in the various large
distributing points of this country. and
the Canadian plant at Ford, Ont.

MOTOR-DR|VEN PUMP
IS ENERGY SAVER
Terror Of Necessity Of Filling
Flat Tires Is Knocked Out
BY It.

"There seems to be no limit to the
improvements that are being made on
the automobile remarked an enthusi-
astic motorist while the tires on his
car were inflated by a mechanical tire
pump.
Just compare the first gasolene-
driven automobile. built by Elwood
Haynes, in 1895, and now displayed at
the Smithsonian Institution, with my
powerful Haynes six here. Every con-
venience you can think of Is embodied
In the new models-electric starting.
electric lighting, electric gearshift-and
this motor driven tire pump. Powerful.
isn't It? This little pump surely has
saved me many a backache and per-
spring brow during the summer, and
you can imagine how much discom-
fort 1t will save me this winter.
IT certainly like the Vu.can electric
gear shift, and the motor-driven tire
me strongly"

GOODYEAR COMPANY
PAYS BIG PROFITS
Cash Dividend of II Per Cent
Paid BY Tire and Rubber
Concern At Akron.

THE regular cash dividend Of Il per
cent on common stock was declared at a
recent meeting Of the directors of the
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company,
held in Akron, Ohio" said George How
ard, manager Of the Goodyear branch
here.
Goodyear officials are receiving con-
gratulations on their excellent showing
for 1913, a year that has witnessed a
fercely contested strike conducted by
the /. W. w. and disastrous floods that
closed tho Goodyear factory for more
than a week.
The annual factory inventory is now
complete. continued Manager Howard,
and manufacturing operations in full
force have been resumed for the 1914
run. In automobile tires the Goodyear
factory capacity is now 10000 a day, be-
sides the immense quantity OF motor
truck. carriage, motorcycle, and bicycle
tires that are regularly turned out. The
year 1913 saw the Goodyear output in
crease from s2s 00G 900 to So, 600 900, de-
spite the handicap of strike and flood.
President Seiberling predicts still
further substantial increase Of output
and general business for 1914. He has
also made clear that in spite Of all
rumors of mergers that have been going
the rounds, Goodyear has had absolutely
no negotiation of any kind with any
other company. Is we'll satisfied with its
present position of independence and
proposes TO continue as it has done In
the past''

Change Of Lubricant
May Help Compression

Loss of compression, which usually
comes of worn cylinders and plstohs,
or rings, sometimes can be corrected
without resorting to regrinding the
cylinders and fitting new pistons oy
nothing more than change OF luo'
ricant from the ordinary cylinder oil
to a graphite lubricant. The graphite
is deposited on the cylinder walls and
baked there when the oil burns on
leaving the surface perfectly polished
and formed to the shape of the piston.
1t is well when using graphite as
lubricant to file off the sharp edges
both on top and bottom of the piston
rings, which otherwise would tend to
scrape the walls of the cylinders free
of the graphite.

Years ago, when automobiles first
came into use, prejudice assailed them
from all sides. partly because they We're
new, but mainly on account of the way
they were driven. Gradually this has
coming automobile driver and Is be-
coming an automobile driver and is be-
ginning to realize the importance-in
fact the necessity-of the car.
Docs the average motor car driver,
however. often stop to think of the
rights Of others-not only of pedestrians
and vehicles, but also of other automo-
hilists?
Herewith are a few driving hints for
mulated by a man who has driven car
for many years. AS he says, you can
probably add many more, but just stop
for a moment and see how much easier
it would be to drive car If all of us
observed. instead of daily infringing, the
following rules:
Always hold out your arm when turn
ing.

When overtaking always sound a
warning and see that all is clear.
Never overtake on sharp curves or
where you cannot see well ahead.

Avoid Using Cutout.

After overtaking, get we'll ahead be-
fore you incline again to the right;
many drivers cut over too soon, forget

travelling almost as fast as the are.
Don't pull over to the side when de-

Loose Magnetic Screw
Often Trouble Cause

A cause Of motor trouble Of the kind
usually dubbed mysterious" is slight
looseness in an electrical connection, 50
that the circuit may be broken and re-
established at irregular intervals by VI
bration. A possible source of much
trouble. and one not ordinarily suspect
ed. is in the little screw which. In some
ma gnetos, Is used to hold one end Of the
armature winding to its contact piece or
to ground on the shaft.

Many Causes Of Heat
In Automobile Motors

Improper handling Of the ignition
lever IL not always the cause of over
heating in a motor with a well ad-
iusted carburetter. 1t Is entirely pos
sible for the magnetic coupling, in some
cases. to become loose and permit the
ignition to lag, despite the advancing
of the lever, and the same thing can
result from loose connections between
the lever and the timer. On the other
hand, loose connections Of the latter
variety can cause pounding due to too
much advance. for the point of ignition
may remain too far advanced despite
the retardation Of the lever when the
motor slows down.

Motorcycle Proves
Value in Bay State

nine motorcycle inspectors employed
this summer by the Automobile Legal
Society Of Massachusetts,. that the as
sociation Is planning to Increase the
force next season These riders not
only patrolled the highways to regulate
speed but proved good Samaritans to
motorists in distress. In many instances
they gave first aid to motorcycle riders
and automobilists by assisting In re-
pairs, or by getting in touch with a
garage. These men have also gathered
valuable information concerning the
reads of Massachusetts, New Hamp-
shire and Rhode Island.

DAYS OF THE CLOSED
CAR ARE At HAND
Type of Carriage Dates Back
to the Days of King Philip
" of Spain.
By HARRY WARD.

When the winter blasts hit Washing
ton. the owners of automobiles who use
their cars both for pleasure and as a
means of quick transportation turn 70
the limousine, the coupe, the cab-io'et,
the sedan, and the various other styles
which, when combined, are referred to
by men who sell them as closed cars.
In years gone past the debuante, the
society woman and the banker fired"
the chauffeur and laid up the car when
the cold winds started to make motor
changed and with the wonderful ad-
vancement made in the building of the
closed car shopping tours and calls are
now made either in. the gasolene ltm-
CUISINE or the electric brougham.
The closed carriage dates back to the
time of Philip ", of Spain, but If the
coach builders of that day were to see
what had been developed from their
handiwnrk ny the present-day master
builders they would claim that the i'm
possible had been accomplished.
Many Masters. 49,
The connoisseur in art and sculpture,
the scientist and the industrial work
er recognize a certain few in their re-
spectfve fields, but the follower of the
automobile industry will tell you that
his studies have not brought out just
a few masters, but many from the
small army OF designers of the automo-
tile body.
The closed car of today shows the
care and study Of men who are artists
IN their. work. No coronation coach
ever received more attention than has
the Limousine of 1914.
The 1914 closed car division provides
everything that could possibly be de-
sired by the lover of fine eQuipage. The
upholsteFing found in the majority Of
the electric and gasolene machines dis
played by the proud agents on automo
bile row far surpass any seen hereto
fore. Imported broadcloth in all shades
and colors. fancy fabrics and leather
throw forth an invitation to try them
out When the visitor to automobile
row has completed his journey he is
at loss to tell just what machine was
the prettiest and which struck his fancy
the strangest
Can't Miss Easily.
The purchaser of the closde car can
hardly miss striking 1t right ydeciding
what price he wishes to pay for his ma
chine and then take the first one he sees.
The adoption by all makers of closed
cars Of the electric or air self-starter
and of the printing device which makes
cold weather starting as easy as the
firing Of a gun has gone a long way to-
wsrd making the closed automobile
popular.
No more is it necessary to have a
chauffeur to do the heavy work when
travelling about the. CITY,. In days of
yore the chauffeur usually had to lift
the hood eahc time before starting and
also crank for many minutes before get
ting the engine going. = r. =.
Now the owner of the machine leaves
his car stand in the cold and when
ready to go merely uses the primer and
starter and is on his way homeward.

Sandbox Very Useful
Motor Truck Adjunct

A box full of sand is a very handy
adjunct for a heavy motor truck. es-
pecially when the route necessitates
much travel over roads which are con-
ycrted into mud holes by the early fall
thaws Probably two boxes provided
with CT utes so that the contents can be
discharged in front of the traction
wheels at such times as is necessary,
and which can be operated by a pedal
from the drivers seat, would save the
driver considerable time and not lit
tie bother

Uses Old Nail Clip
To Remove insulation

One motorist who does all his own
"fussing" and is quite proud of the fact
says that he has evolved an unusual
method Of stripping the insulation from
the ends of wire. Instead of using a
knife, which endangers the wire, he
uses an old nail clip.
