Light Four-Cylinder Car Promised To Be Sensa- tion-P Prepare Toledo Factory For Record Pro- duction.

Production of the new light four cylinder car, held up for the last two years because of war conditions, has been begun by the Willys- Overland company of Toledo and shipments to dealers are being made.
 The car is known as Overland 4. Its production, which marks the culmina- ton of one of the most interesting un- dertakings in the history of the auto mobile industry, is tribute to the per- sistent purpose which has guided Pres ident John N. Willys, of the Willys- overland company, since he built the first Overland car ten years ago.
 The development of the new car from an engineering standpoint represents a concentration of skill as intensive as the manufacturing skill concentrated in it's production. Chief among the many engineering features of distinc- ton in the new car is the new spring suspension which it is is said, after two years of exhaustive test, marks a really notable advance in motor car riding qualities.
 Plan Great Output
 More than 30,000 employees in the many allied Willys- Overland indus trial plants have taken part in the de- velopment and production of the new car. Although the announcement of the new model was made more than two years ago by President Willys, sthe entire interval, according to him, has been devoted to perfecting details, simprovng and refining the car, with a sview to bringing every part up to the standard of it's riding qualities, .

 Plans call for an output that will greatly exceed that of any single Over Hand model yet built
 The size of this achievement is more readily understood when it is realized that barely eight months ago, the willys- Overland industry was almos; entirely devoted to war production Following this came the readjustmeni 10 motor car production which reached 425 cars a day; then a complete new adjustment has been made to new car program without holding up the pro- auction Of current models on order from dealers.
 Design New Machinery
 Snce the armistice was signed. fac tory routine and methods have beer simplified; specially designed machin cry built and installed for making the new car parts. For the insurance oi permanently attractive finish, three batteries of electric ovens, each about $50 feet long and 40 feet wide, have been constructed at the factory anj Through these the all-steel bodies o1 the new car will pass through a series of enamel coatings and bakings under high temperature.
 To assure uniformity of steels ir the new car, new system of inspec. ton was installed. Expert metallur- sists from the Willys- Overland begir their inspections and tests at the mill: and ths inspection is constant at every Operation until the car leaves the fac tory.
