But what impressed me more than
all was the department In which ma
Eterials are tested. They have to know
/ a thing is righ. before III goes into a
Wfllvs-Overland car That's how they
IMafeguard the public.
Tests In the physical and chemical
laboratories are made In two ways.
COMPLETED steel parts are subjected
Ito terrific tests. Axles are twisted
like rolls OF taffy candy. Small bits
of steel, s.S inches long, cut from
completed axles. are attached at both
ends, and literally pulled apart. The
registering machine shows 100000
pounds to the square inch necessary
ance up to 125.000 pounds would be
proof of ample tensile strength
Springs are tried for their resistance
Steel articles are also put through
both heat and chemical tests. The
former determines the amount of car
bon, an important factor; the other
determines the chemical composition
Iof the steel.
Naturally every operation In all the
+ plants tends finally toward the assem-
IDLY conveyor tracks. There are four
of them, each 645 feet long.
We followed the whole operation
We began at one end where the frames
4 and rear systems are put In place. By
the time the other end of the conveyor
lis reached the frame has grown into
the finished car.
From overhead parts are lowerd by
chains Along the way men are at

motion all the time, but can be in
fstantly connected with the links of an
