TANKS FASTENED
ENDING OF WAR

p D. NJ. Alvey. one Of the best-informed
men in the motor truck business in
America, speaks Interestingly OF the
tremendous force exerted by the
tanks in the concluding days Of the
great world war. He says;
80 long as artists shall picture the
great war, just so long will they de-
pict the T'aring. crashing tank as the
symbol Of allied victory. That pom
derous forward waddle. inspiring and
sustaining to friend menacing and
terrible to foe, Is representative OF the
irresistible force which gathered to
crush the Hun. Ericsson, almost
overnight, devised the "cheese-box
on raft" which successfully removed
the peril Of the first ironclad. But
the German general stan In forty
years Of forethought failed to evolve
a. protection against the cross-country
battleShip. The tanks treated 'em
rough" to the eleventh hour % the
last days lighting.
"As time passes the allied nations
will recognize yet more plainly the
debt OF gratitude which they owe to
Benjamin Holt. His inventive genius
evolved the engine which lays its own

idea, the tank would have been i'm
possible and the huge tractors which
dragged the heavy guns to the front
would not have been known.
No single mechanical invention In
the great war did more IN a mechani-
cal way to bring victory than did this
machine designed for the uses OF
peace. The plowing engine metamor-
phosed became the tuggernaut. Fred
erick Palmer, war correspondent, says
they saved 10000 lives on the SOmme
in the fail OF 1915 alone.
"Just previous to the armistice the
French were building three models:
the Saint-Chaumont OF twenty-three
tons, carrying eight men: the
OF thirteen tons, manned
by six; and the Renuait. six tons,
with a crew Of two. Louis Renault,
French automobile manufacturer,
the idea Of the small tank,
and It's development was due to his
initiative.
''When his government failed to be
interested, he built 100 OF the first
baby tanks at his own expense.
OF this type reached $50 a
month in France just before the ceB-
sation Of hostilities.
b General Pershing's Judgment was
the impelling force which put pres
can tanks. Two engagements over
similar terrain and under parallel
Of attack and defense
showed clearly the life-saving value /
OF the tank"

MOTOR CAR OUTPUT
SHY 100000 CARS

Owing to the relatively small pro-
duction in the last two years there is
shortage at the present time of
700. 900 automobiles. To make up this
deficiency the output of automobiles
in 1919 should be about 5000 900. but
it is doubtful If the industry can re-
adjust itself rapidly enough to ac-
complish more than half of this, and
it would hardly be wise policy to at
tempt to do moro this year.
Hugh Chalmers. chairman OF the
war service committee of the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce,
New York, cites these deductions re-
garding the present status Of the au-
tomobile industry in a special COM
pilation which he prepared for this
weeks issue of Automobile Topics,
the trade authority.
Expect Quick Recovery.
The industry, he states, is making
strides in readjustment and promises
to be among the first to attain full
recovery from its turnover to war
production, demonstrating to itself
and to the world its unusual versa
tiIity and recuperative powers.
Normally the automobile output
increased at the average rate Of 40
per cent a year. Had this rate pre-
vailed during the last three years
the output last year would have been
2,25O, 900 cars" Mr.. Chalmers states.
'This would have been double what
il actually was. In 1915 and 1915
there were abnormal increases. OF 50
and so per cent, respectively, but In
1917 the increase dropped to II per
cent. Atshortage OF 100000 cars to-
day represents the difference be-
tween actual production during the
last four years and what Il would
have been under the normal 40 per
cent rate Of increase.
Many Changes Required.
'Tt d evident that under the most
favorable. conditions much time and
q great deal OF effort will be required
for the, passenger car manufacturers
to nvert from their war-work
actiS es to their regular production.
They must, in addition to changes
within their own plants and organi-
zations, overcome the difficulties OF
securing the necessary qualities and
sizes OF special iron, steel and other
materials.
when the automobile industry got
into war work 1t got clear in, so that
many of the supply concerns, makers
of engines, transmissions, axles, etc,
will themselves have to get materials
and make up their units before the
car producers can assemble complete
automobiles"

Twenty-six acres Of manufacturing

to all war products by this company.
When the Government called for
Liberty motors on a big production
scale, Packard. realizing the urgency
Of the situation. changed over q great
number Of standard twin-siX produc-
ton tools to make the special tools
required for the Liberty motor, for
at that time skilled tool-makers were

country. This meant that when car
production might be resumed, tb~
time required to prepare for it would
be twice as long.

Much OF this floor space has had
TO be completely denuded of the spe-
ciaI aircraft machinery, particularly
the cylinder-borinG lathes, which
could not be adapted to other uses,
and replaced with types OF machines
designed for twin-six construction. All
the stock bins and stock had to be re-
arranged, q stupendous undertaking
in itself, involving the moving OF mil

material.
