tory, says Harry Ford

An electrically driven endless chain
which will carry Saxon cars through
the various assembling departments
with greater speed is the latest
innovation at the plant Of the Saxon
Motor Company in Detroit. described by
II. ". Ford. president OF the compan.
who was here last week. The Saxon
company has begun the installation OF
this apparatus with its completion
date and efficient assembling plant in
Detroit.
Plans for this endless chain" system
have been approved and it Is expected
that the system will be completed within
two weeks. This chain will carry the
machines through the different stages
OF assembling from the time that a

axlc aud set OF wheels until II u ready
to be driven to the loading dock
The speed with which this continu-
Gus chain apparatus operates may be
varied to suit production requirements,
one Of the novel features will be that
the cars will run on their own wheels
from the start until they are ready for
shipment rs a finished product.
This progressive move on the part OF
the SAXON company is due chiefly TO the
demand for the new roadster and Six
models. OF which an output of $4,000
cars Is planned for thus year. The new
factory which the Saxon company has
taken * so laid out that IL lends Itself
readily to the installation OF this con
tinuous chain. The assembly buildings
are one story high, 80 that the new
system may be worked more efficiently

story building,
Another interesting feature jus,
adopted at the factory In tho use
Of specially built tractors for hauling
materials. The tractors are equipped
with trsilers and operated by Saxon
motors Each morning these tractors and
ira llers are loaded with parts for the
different departments. Each load com

Commenting ON this e. 4. silver. pres

its day. Those who think that speed
is one OF the biggest essentials in a
car represent n small minority of the
motoring public. Their pleas for speed
are being ignored by the majority of the
manufacturers who produce cars that
appeal to the solid. substantial public.
The need of the time Is stanchness, sim

THE policy behind the Overland is 10
