in Three Months
Some Results Of
 Packard 100% War Work

The 5O0Oth Liberty Motor built by the Packard Company was shipped on November 21, a week after its final assembly in the Packard shops, and a week ahead of the first anniversary of the completion of the first Lib- erty Engine ever made from standard tools.
 It was on Thanksgiving Day, 1917, that the first Liberty Motor to come from an organized pro- duction line came from the pro- duction line of the Packard. Wrapped in an American flag, it was shipped the same day to the American aircraft forces.
 Between Thanksgiving and the following March, the process of the new war engines develop ment was that of the accommo- dation of tool to design and design to tool, always necessary in the preparation for quantity produc- ton of a quality motor. The work of pioneering this develop pent was either given by the government to the Packard or assumed by the Packard for the Government. Consequently, as late as February 25, Packard had produced the only Liberty En- zines in operation, and to date Packard has built more Liberty Motors than any other manu- facturer has made.
 The great results of that de- velopment period are measurable by the fact that the improve ments effected raised the horse power of the Liberty Motor from 367, at which the government had accepted it for production, to more than 450. Another re- suit was that large scale produc- ton rapidly followed final stand ardization of tools and design, so that by the end of the war, eight months later, Uncle Sam had more than l5,000 Liberty Engines.

which plans for the parade could have
been perfected and the fact that only
a few hundred soldiers would have
participated were other considerations
that influenced the decision to arrange.

April or May.
Brig Gen. Richard D. Simms was
