HOW THE MITCHELL
CAR IS GIVEN ITS
VELVET FINISH

"I can't understand how they keep
the velvet finish on those car bodieS
with .ut getting them =ratched'| re-
marked a visitor standing in front OF
a highly finished motor car at the
Nitcbell booth in the New York show.
"If all those cars are finished and
shipped from the factory at Racine
Wis. without a blemlsh, the manu-
facturers must 60 to a lot Of trouble
sad another enthusiast.
The makers do take a lot OF trou-
BILE and care, more so than the aver
age person ever dreams OF. An mex
perienced hand can MAJ the surface
of a car wiping the dust on oith the
softest duster. Motor car fnishers
are artists. They handle a car with
as delicate a touch as does watch-
maker or maker of fine jewelry. From
their viewpoint a motor car is as hu-
man as an oil painting is to an artist.
One would naturally think that
moving a car about would tend to dis
figure IL In some way. After a car Is
assembled II Is necessary that the
doors, windows, and hood be opened
and closed hundreds OF times for ad-
justments. ringer prints or scratches
are likely TO result from careless
hands, but not from the hnisher or
Inspector. Only long years OF expert
ence can prevent this from happen
Ing. An interior decorator can enter
a car with his pockets full of screw
drive. ., pliers, and other tools to ad-
Just a lamp or curtain and leave with
out a scratch.
At the Mitchell factory in Racine,
where 95 per cent OF the ca. Is made.
the finish inspector is most rigid. In
fact, he hunts for trouble. His eye
can see q pin scratch or q hair line
across the room. And what does he
do to such a scratch but circle IL with
chalk and back II goes to be ref1n-
Ished. This means that the whole
job must be gone over again. TIE
paint is rubbed off by hand with
pumice stone, and then the piece is
run through all the processes of q
new job.
The tenders are rubbed and sand
papered until perfectly smooth. They
are then dipped and dripped over the
japan watts, then placed in the drying
ovens. where they are baked for two
and cIe-half hours up to a heat of
3T5 degrees Fahrenheit. They are
then cooled and rubbed down and fn-
ished with oil. This is done twice.
and then the finishing coat OF enamel
Is applied. The same great care is
used IN finishing the running gear ,
and the chassis, the constant vibra-
tion and tho rough usage which comes
to all parts of the chassis and the
running gear, which is made more
trying on the paint job than II is on
the coating on the body.

PILOT NARRATES
THAT BEAR STORY

At the recent dinner held at the

nnish Of the transcontinental trip OF
the old Hyatt Roller" which has run
nearly 213,OOO miles on its original set
of Hyatt bearings. B. G. Koether, man
aEer of the company, jokingly asked
the driver to tell that bear story"
Some people who never get on a
city street from one years end to an
other" he replied, don't realize that
there are such things as bears roam
ing around loose in certain parts Of
this country. But take II from me"
he continued. they're real bears all
right.

Makes Record Trip.

Sixteen minutes after MayI and the
commodore had talked, the Blue Rib,
bon. conveyed by the Red Head, shot
out of her berth in Cleveland with
the 450-pound tire lashed over her
windward runner. Dashing out of
the harbor onto the smooth ice of
Lake Erie, she shot along at a mile
a-mInute clip. the breeze at times
heelIng her over until the tire was
several feet above the ice.
Speeding into Lorain harbor, she
slid up to the dock and all lands
helped swing the tire into the wait
ing service car. 1t was rushed TO
the service station, where il was
pressed onto a new wheel by the
150-ton hydraulic press, and then
shot out to the disabled truck.
All records between Cleveland and
Loraln had been smashed and a mini.
mum delay had been caused. through
the resourcefulness of the Firestone
manager, who would not be ham.

Uses Ice Yacht.

MayI soon found that freight, ex-
press, or motor truck methods could
not get the tire to it's destination in
time. Then he thought OF n recent
trip he had enjoyed as the guest OF
his friend, Commodore Robert T..
Babcock, Of the Cleveland Ice Yacht
Club, on the latter's speedy Blue
Ribbon. He called up the commodore
and put the proposition squarely up
to him
"If you'll get that tire to our dock
in ten minutes I'll shoot her through
to Ii rain for you in much less than
an hour" replied the commodore.
The distance by rail between CIeve-
land and Lorain Is twenty-seven
miles and the scheduled running
time OF the trains ffty-nine minutes.
The route over water is several miles
longer.

trucks owned by the Knutsen Motor
Trucking Company was rolling
through rough roads west OF Lorain
when one OF the leading trucks shot
of the road in a drift and its right
rear wheel and tire were put out OF
commission. This tied up the whole
fleet. as the truck blocked the road
way.
The driver got into touch with
Coleman & Burnett, local tire deal
ers Coleman had no tire in stock to
fit this truck. He Immediately tele-
phoned to Manager ]. +. Mayl. of the
