ALI DETAILS IF
 b|C PLANT VERY
 MUCHCOMP PLETE

The one amazing thing about the local plant of the Standard oil com pany is it's completeness. Everything which is attempted is completed from start to finish right on the grounds.
 Take for instance the automobile re- pair department with its allied paint and blacksmith shop. A machine breaks down. It matters not if it is light passenger car or a heavy truck. It is brought to the repair shop, its trouble diagnosed. and then sent to the department which handles that kind of work. There is department for sick motors, one for rear ends, and one fsr the chassis. If there is something wrong with the motor, it is taken out, good one installed, and the car goes it's happy way with very little delay
 A machine never stays in the shop for repairs. If part is broken, it may stay to be fixed but in the mean time it's parent car is plying the roads Of Arizona with an auxiliary part in place. Even spare bodies are put on 1 while others are under repair. In fact | it is possible to build several machines from the spare parts maintained there. All machines used by the company are assembled and painted in Phoenix A new tank is to be put on the road The tank is received from one part Of the country, the chassis from another. They are assembled in Phoenix with possibly a few added parts needed painted. vanished, signs put on and the job is complete.
 One of the features of the garage is an elevated pit. In the new section which is just nearing completion. an excavated pit has been placed, with ] lights installed in sealed switches. making it possible to use a distillate spray without fear of ignition and ex- plosion.
 The precautions taken about inc grounds against fire are extreme. The necessity is soon seen if one watches a truck being filled with gasoline. The fumes fairly bubble out of the tank. being plainly visible to the naked eve at quite distance. No matches are allowed carried, all electric lights are sealed with rubber in glass containers eliminating the chance of a spark.
 Up in the storeroom which is adia cent to the auto repair shop, is found every part needed in the repair of any of the numerous autos maintained or the road by the company Even wooder bodies and radiators are kept on hand
 The company has found it is cheaper to have large supply of spare parts , of hand, to be used in replacing worr , ones as soon as needed, rather than tc lay up machine while it is being fixed.
 A large number of tires both solid . and pneumatic are carried in stock

\. C.L. REDUCED BY
 CAFETERIA SERVING
 E|NPLOYES LUNCHES

If it were not for the cafeteria main- tained by the Standard oil company, the high cost of living would be lots higher for its employees. The plant is out of the business district of the city, and it would either be necessary for those working there to make the trip to the city, or eat cold lunch.
 As it is, when noon comes the en- ployes file through the cafeteria, get whatever they desire, file outside to eat their meal on the green lawns in the shade of numerous trees. and en- joy the Arizona climate to the utmost.
 In the summer time when it is hot, a 15-minute recess is granted every morning and afternoon, and again the cafeteria comes in handy. for cool, nourishing drinks are served before work is resumed.
 And those prices. It is very evident that not a single solitary cent of profit is made. There Is not an item on the menu over 15 cents and everything is served from meat to ice cream, cake and East Side Fest. A very complete and filling lunch, not to say appetizing can be obtained for a nominal sum.

II TAXES SYSTEM
 TO RUN BUSINESS
 IF STANDARD 0|L

System to the nth degree is applied so the functioning or the Standard on company's plant in Phoenix. Not a thing is allowed to go astray. Not an iota of gas or oil comes into the plant bu that 1t is accurately registered and Kept track of until it enters the con- summers car They feel responsible Tor 1t until it is consumed.
 To do this it is constantly necessary to he checking measures, scales and tanks. It keeps the inspector of weights and measures busy seeing that everything is kept up to the standard demanded by the company For in- stance the capacity of tank wagon is not checked once, but twice.
 The method is to fill the big tank by using five gallon government tested cans. The number of gallons needed 10 iill the wagon is ascertained, and then the liquid is drawn off and 1t must check 10 the pint with the amount put in. Guages are used in measuring the capacity of a tank wagon every time it is filled, every precaution being taken to protect the consumer.
 At night it is possible to tell exactly how many gallons of gasoline or oil are leIt m the yard, even though car loads may have come in during the day and tank loads taken out.
 Every shipment Of gasoline or oil received here comes in bulk. It IS pumped direct from the cars to the great storage tanks. If 1t is to be delivered Co the consumer in five-gal- Ion cans. the cans are filled in the warehouse. They are not filled singly either. The ve-gallon cans are placed in rack at time. A lever IS pulled. and they fill up. from there they go to the soldering plant where the cov- CTS are fastened on. The only place on the grounds where there is a blaze. is near the soldering machinery. The fire though is enclosed in a aperture In a brick chimney. the door to which is always kept closed.

EMPLOYES MUST DE SURE THEY KNOW \
 RED GASOLINE PIPE

Being color blind would be a serious if not fatal handicap if one were warking about the plant of the Stand ard Oil company. All pipes leading from the great storage tanks are painted a certain color and every color has meaning.
 For instance red pipe, means gaso- line. A pipe painted red and striped with black means distillate, and so on down the line through the fuel oils and lubricating oils. The manifold pumps which force the oil products from the cars to the storage tanks, are all painted the color of the material ham, dled, and there is no chance of g mix up.
 From the tanks, to the filling sta tions, the gravity system is used, pipes being laid all over the grounds, to the warehouse, and other outlets where gas or oil is withdrawn.

Employees Have
 Warm Place To
 Change Clothes

The bath house and change room installed at the Phoenix plant of the Standard Oil company, is an inno- vation for industrial concerns in this vicinity. Many of the men are working all day in places where they come in contact with oil. Con sequently they leave their work grimy and in anything but the clean condition they started the day with.
 Do they go home that way? They do not. They go to the change room, and then step into a hot shower, . from whence they emerge to don clean clothes, and leave the plant.
 The bath house Is sanitary to the last degree. 1t is steam heated and is kept warm throughout the day from early morn until the last man leaves at night.

THE BODY IN WINTER

Many car owners have found that the body finish needs extra protection in winter. The outward attraction of a perfectly good car may be spoiled by leaving the body finish without atten- ton throughout the winter. At this time of year it is a good plan to give the car a thorough cleaning and then give in two coats of varnish. Varnish is simply a protecting medium, and ii it allowed to wear off the paint be- heath is sure to suffer in the rains and mud of winter

TENNIS COURTS AT
 PLANT FOR BENEFIT OF EVERY EMPL0YE

In addition to the bathhouse, cafe teria and cooling system maintained by the Standard Oil company for the pleasure of it's employees, the company has taken another great step forward in welfare work.
 After work hours, every man or woman employed by the company has free access to a tennis court located on the grounds. The court is well laid out and completely equipped.
 As matter of fact an investigation of the institution maintained here reveals that large share of the prem ises occupied by the company is de- voted to making it's employees comfort. able.

coMMUTAToR BRUSHES

When the commutator brushes of the generator become slightly worn. arching is likely to result. This may be prevented by filing the brushes so that they make good contact with the eommutator A small magneto file may be used for this purpose. It is a mistake Go adjust the brushes so that the springs are stretched too much, as this causes the brushes to heat up rap 1dly. due Co eXcessive friction.

TAKING DOWN ENGINE

In disassembling the engine the car owner will find that he saves a great deal of time if he segregates the parts as he performs the operat ton of taking down. The best way to do this to place all parts pertaining to one unit or system in box. For instance have a box each for carburetor, magneto. valve system, etc, while big units such as manifolds, connecting rods. etc, may be placed under the work bench in q large box. The value of this arrange ment appears when the task of assem- bling begins

A bent steering knuckle should be SC straightened that line run from the tie bar hole in the end of the part and the center of the kingpin will strike the center of the rear axle. Unless this is carefully carried out, the front wheels will not be so aligned as to run properly
Arizona republican., 1919-11-16

the statement that even though there should be a railroad strike there is no danger of a shortage of gasoline and oil in this section. The moment such a thing happened, the company would be in a position to ration gasoline and oil to those who really needed, and in case of dire need truck service could be maintained from California.
