How Ford Device
Tests Cylinders

The work OF turning out Ford cars
abounds in minute details of production
which save precious minutes. A unique
method is used TO test cylinders to as
certain il they have been bored accu-
rately to a thousandth of an inch, this
simply allowing for the movement Of the
piston head.
BY old machine shop methods the cyl
inder was bored out and the piston head
turned, ana tnen one was fitted to the
other. When the Ford production ran
up into hundreds OF motor cars per day
It was obviously impossible to test IN
this way, as cylinders were bored In
one portion of the plant while the pis-
tons were being turned great distance
away
A device was therefore worked out in
which an electric globe is used to make
the test When cylinder has been
bored to the correct size 1t is slid over
an electric globe, A piston gauge OF
the exact size of a piston head is then
slid into the cylinder and the tester
examines II carefully TO ascertain II
any light leaks around the gauge. If
there Is no sign of light II means that
the cylinder has been bored properly,
but II light shows the cylinder is re-
jected as defective.

Protector Adds to
Life of Auto Tire

did It .ver occur to you that when
tire has run $500 miles or more the
fabric Is weaker than when the tire
began its service7'
The answer Of the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company to this question Ia,
the inside tire protector, designed 20
prevent tho blowing out OF age and
use. weakened tires and to add thou
sands OF miles Of service to the lives Of
tires that have seen hard service
Goodyear experts figured that a cor
rectly designed inside protector would
supply a sturdy fabric wall TO REIN
force and protect weakened tires. Prac-
tice proved this was true.
Goodyear Inside Protectors are ce-
mented to the inside Of worn castings
and extend well down over the side
walls. where the greatest fexing strains
are encountered.
They also protect tread fabric against
giving way to the hamemr- blows Of
obstacles encountered on the road
The protectors take up very little
room, and in fact just about replace
the stretch tire castings acquire In long
use.

Tire Imitation Is
Lessened by Makers

Several changes are noted in the table
of recommended tire pressures issued by
the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany for 1914. The recommended pres
sure for siX-inch tires mas been changed
from 120 to 100; for flve-and one-half-
inch tires, from 10 to 100; for five
inch tires, from 100 to 90. Considerable
scientific testing preceded this apparent
concession to lower imitation and ''easier
riding"
Tire makers recognize that the de-
struction of an under-infated tire is
brought about by an excess of fiexing.
or bending A soft" tire has its side
walls bent almost together and released
to normal position every time the wheel
turns over. This generates heat and
the bending itself breaks down the tire
fabric. A tire properly inflated Is not
the victim of as much destructive flexing
in year as an inflated tire may
be in week. Then. too, an underin-
flated tire, striking a stone or street
railway rail, may have top and bottom
brought together In a blow hard enough
to crush or break the fabric at once.
The smaller the tire. the sharper the
flexing angle and the shorter the dis
lance between top and bottom when
blows are encountered

vertibe belts that may be worn inside

loosely, or for windy days tight enough
to keep out the wind. The skirts are
buttoned down the left side and have
one flap pocket on the right side.
Visor caps are made to match these
suits. There are also some new crochet
hats that are quite effective. The
crown is of one color and the rolling
brim OF another, with a feather quill
stuck through the crown, Peter Pan"
style.
The new jackets having the sleeves,
cordings and buttons of suede and the

Hundreds of Dealers Applying for
Standard Line Representation.
Studebaker's Big File.

Half an hour before the close Of
each working halliday in the Stude-
baker Corporations Detroit headquar-
tiers two clerks emerge from one OF
the big vaults, wheeling laboriously
a handtruck, loaded with a large III
Ing system. one clerk pulls, the 9TH
er pushes. Their route brings the
truck to the sales department There
the filing system is replenished by a
considerable quantity of special mail.
The clerks roll the truck back again
into the vault.
Now and then an observing visitor
is casually interested and asks what
correspondence the massive file con-
tains. He is always amazed to hear
that the entire truckload consists of
nothing but live, current applications
for agency rights, kept on file and up
to date for reference in possible emer-
gencieS.
If the casual visitor Is a student Of
business conditions, he usually COM
ments on his newly acquired informa =
ton as one of the many encouraging
signs of the times.
That the size of the file correctly
gauges present conditions IL con-
firmed by Vice President e. r. Ben
son, of the Studebaker Corporation.
"A great many wise business men
have been waiting for an era of sta
BILE conditions before entering the au-
tomobile business" Mr.. Benson saws.
These men are now beginning to
take steps toward identifying them
selves with one Of the standard, pop
ular- priced lines. We have included
some of them in our list of dealers
and distributors which we made Up
last summer Occasionally even now,
we can find room for one of them by
giving him a slice of territory former
ly handled from some other trading
center. These occasions are few,
though, for our present dealers are
always able to sell more cars than we
can build.
ITO a small extent the present in
crease in dealer applications may be
due to the fact that dealers arc
shifting toward the large, established
manufacturers. In a general way,
however, l think that the condition is
normal and merely a healthy symr-
! tom OF the trade"

Branch Plants Over Country Fa-
ciIitate Manufacturing and
Shipping.

The Ford plant at Detroit alone
would support a city from $4,000 to
100000 people, and the branch as
senblng plants are located at Buff
lalo. Cambridge. Chicago. Columbus,
DALLAS, Denver, Houston, Kansas
rity, Portland, Ore, San Francisco,
Seattle and st. Louis IN this country,
and besides these there Is the Ford
Motor Co, Ltd, of Canada, with a
factory at Ford, Ont, across the De-

dian service stations at Montreal, To-
ronto. Vancouver. London, Ont, CAL
gary. Montreal, Hamilton. Saskatoon
and Winnipeg. Then there are the
Manchester, England, factory and
service stations at Hamburg, Ger
many, and Paris, France.
The whole purpose of this gigantic
system of branch plants Is to facili-
tate manufacturing and shipping and
"a assure Ford owners IN every part
of the world the highest type of
service after they have purchased
their car.
But not only do these branch fac
tories each one of them a great in

ton, but they are backed up by the
selling and distributing organization
of the company, which includes indi :

Every cog in this wheel of industry
works to perfect this service. Every
Ford agent. no matter how few cars
he handles, is required by his con-
tract to carry a supply of Ford parts
so that Ford owners never have their
cars out of commission except for a
few days, or generally only hours, I'M
less the car has met with q serious
accident.
If ii were not for the branch as
sembling plants the Ford Company
could not market it's enormous out

not be, provided for shipping the cars
if they were all assembled at the De-
troit factory. But shipped in knock
down form a single car will carry as
many motor cars as could be carried
in train if the cars were shipped in
the ordinary fashion. or course, all
the parts are tested before shipping,
and standardization has made 1t easy
for the assemblers, and when these
parts arrive at the assembling plants
here and in the various other cities,
# requires but little labor to put the
cars together and they are soon in
proper running condition.
