AUTO DEVELOPMENT
WROUGHT IN BOUNDARY
New Methods in Art of Drop Forging
Have Given Manufacturers
Necessary Materials.

To a great extent the tremendous uo.
duction records attained by the Larger
American motor car factories in the
last few years have been accomplished
through che rapid strides made in the
development OF the art Of drop forging.
From the very beginning OF the auto
mobile industry engineers have sought
a means of obtaining me- ximum strength
in the parts subjected t. heavy strain
without adding useless weight TO the
completed car. Dr00 chrome vanadium
steel proved the solution of the problem.
and today the manufacturer who builds
the majority of the parts used in his
car counts an efficient forgeshop as one
of his most valuable possessions.
Our old friend. the village blacksmith.
was the first drop forGer. Some fifty
years ago a member of this brotherhood
evolved the scheme for using a steam
hammer on the larger forsinGs he had
to make. But in order 10 achieve the
desired result he was compelled TO work
out the material almost to the desired
shape by hand; then, with the aid of
portable tools which were used in cor
junction with his crude steam hammer.
the forSings were finished to size. With
this method much depended upon the
skill of the smith. and uniformity was
more or less 4 matter of guesswCrk. The
human element was strong
The railroad blacksmith took up the
methods OF his predecessor and i'm
proved upon them. and the experts in
the big sewing machine. shoe machinery
and harvesting machinery factories add
ed Inventions and Improvements which
still further simipIified the process.
The automobile manufacturer. how
ever. has brought the art down to its
greatest point of efficiency. and men VIII ,

Then again, in tn" ordinary course of

"A cut or injury in the tread has a
tendency to expand. This is due to the
elasticity Of the rubber, and the weight
of the machine in contact with the road
pressing down upon the tire. In this
way such foreign matter as dust. grit
sand and pebbles is forced into the cut.
With each revolution Of the wheel when
the injured part is relieved Of the weight
Of the car. the accumulation of foreign
matter acts as a wedge. With each sue
cessive revolution OF the wheel. it forces
itself farther in between the cover and
the fabric of the tire. II is not unusual
for complete separation Of the tread to
occur. When this happens. it is often
necessary to either apply an entirely new
cover or buy new tire.
Owners cannot sometimes understand
why tires having good treads and an-

often due TO water working through neg
