 Considering every kind of oil used in the plant. about 10000 gallons are consumed daily. which is equivalent to five carloads, q tidy amount even for q plant as large as the tord.
 The Detroit factory of the Ford Mo tor Company is now building and at its 2S assembly plants is assembling approximately 5000 ears each working day
 The visitor who comes to the home factory to see how Ford cars are made with perhaps the pTeconceiVed belief that 5000 cars cannot be well made in n single working day is quickly disil r lusioned when he sees with his own eyes how the work of making Ford parts is carried on.
 To accomplish production on the scale which Ford cars are built each part must fit instantly and without al- teratioT in the assembled car. Fol this reason the very volume of output compels absolute exactitude in con forming to the standard measurements Aside from the mechanical accurac, insured by special machinery and de vices. there Is a rigid inspection o each part at various stages Of iti making.
