FRANKLIN PLANT Is
UNDERGOING CHANGE
FOR PEACE ACTION

Transition of facilities at the
Franklin plant in Syracuse from
war-production 10 peace-time motor
car output, is going on at full swing.
Just as tremendous changes had 10

floor space 10 the manufacture OF

adjustment been taken as an oppor-
tunity 10 replace methods that were
found 10 be good before the war but
which have been much improved by
the experience with war work.
The Franklin management is now
working out an ideal manufacturing
layout after a plan which was stud
led considerably in advance and
which ninimizes the moving of
stock, and tends especially towards
the highest quality OF work. The
plant IS now arranged on the pro-
gressive group plan, by which all
parts entering into each principal
unit are machined and assembled in
their entirety in distinct depart
ments. All inspection and storage
of stock is also a unit with such de-
partments.
A special feature OF the rear
rangement is that the Franklin fac
tory Is now an ideal daylight plant.
Those departments which have been
on the ground floors OF several
buildings are being transferred TO
lighter quarters, as IL Is now possible
TO utilize for the first time certain
plant additions that have heretofore
always ben occupied by war work
operations.
An idea Of the extent that facili-
ties are being expanded, is given in
the addition of $4,000 square feet
Of floor space devoted strictly to i'm
provements in painting processes.
The Franklin Co. has established an
independent department in which
special colors are handled.
