South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1919-02-23
Expansion Under Way at Studebakers Will Give
City One Of the Largest Motor Plants in the WorI

There will be Is boilers in the
power house, each boiler having a
capacity of 500 horsepower. The
parabolic coal bins with their H.
600 tons Of coal capacity are another
modern feature of the power house.
These parabOlic coal bins run along
the top of the pOwer-hOuse build
ing The bins are filled by gravity.
That is, the coal is drawn to them
by special machinery designed for
that purpose. They are great time
savers and at the same time they
conserve man power.
Some idea of the bigness Of the
power house, and the amount of
power it must send TO the other de-
partm ents in the operation Of the big
plant may be gained when it is
known that there are to be II huge
boilers Of $40 horse power each in
stalled. These boilers will require
daily p tons OF coal each. The pow

greatly 10 the life OF the community,
to more than double its present size.
1t is being asked to aid in providing
homes for the thousands of adj
tional workmen who will be brought
20 this city by this increase in the
size OF the industry.
Today the Studebaker corporation
gives employment TO 1000 South
Bend citizens. When the increase in
the plants size is made. the corpor-
alton will employ 10. 200 persons. or
1900 more than it employees today.
VISION OF A GREAT
PLANT COMING TRUE.
An institution that is about 10
double its plant and treble the num-
Der OF workmen in it's employ is
surely worth knowing something
about. something more than just
the mere facts that it is a plant and
that is located in South Bend.
Four years ago A r. Erskine,
president of the Studebaker corpor-
alton. began to dream. His dream
was a great vision. 1t included a
great automobile manufacturing
plant in South Bend, in fact. ne pic
tured this city as one of the great
automobile manufacturing centers
Of the world.
And Pres't Erskine's dream is
about TO come true. Already the
plans for making the dream a reality
have been perfected, and all that re-
mains TO be done is to carry out the
plans.
And some Of these plans are al
ready well on their way towards
completion. When Pres't Erskine a
few months ago announced that the
Studebaker corporation had just is
sued notes in the amount Of $40. OOO.-
600. and that at least $4,000, 600 OF
this vast sum was TO be spent i'm i'm

PLANT WILD COVER
131 ACRES OF GROUND.

When completed the huge plant
with its attending yards necessary to
the operation of the industry, will
cover the entire 131 acres of the
Studebaker track, of which 65 per
cent will be covered by the additions
and engagements.
When completed the enlarged
plant will include a machine shop.
1875 feet by 45O feet, equipped with
all the modern machinery necessary
TO the manufacture of automobiles.
An assembling plant, four stories
high. and covering a ground space
of 500 feet by 16O feet, with all the
modern equipment for carrying on
this work. a foundry. covering 500

Had it not been that 20 per cent
OF these BUILDINGS are already con-
structed, it is doubtful if the Stude-
baker corporation would be able TO
carry out it's plans of enlargement
by the summer of 1920. Fortunate
~, however. they are, and in some
instances the new modern macEin-
cry to be used exclusively in the
manufacture of Studebaker automo-
hiles is already installed.
The machinery is Of special make,
designed and intended for the spe-
cial use to which it is 10 be put by
the corporation in the operation of
it's plant. Only the best is being
ordered, and the latest devices in
mechanical apparatuses and machin-
cry will occupy the floor space Of the
plant when the enlargement and i'm
prOvement process has ended.
The huge machine shop building
is among the 20 per cent of the
new plant buildings that has been
erected, although the present struc-
ture is to be doubled in size. Some
OF the modern machinery 10 be used
in the operation of the plant has
already been placed. More is 70 be
installed as soon as il arrives. IL
is all Of special make, and of course
some time is necessary TO get il ali
on the ground and installed in its
proper place. The machine shop
alone will cover a ground space OF
1175 feet by 45C feet.
FORGE SHOP Is
ALREADY IN OPERATION.
The forge shop is another of the
buildings comprising the 20 per cent
portion of the plant enlargement
that is completed. Here actual work
in making certain parts of the Stude-
baker cars is now going on. Long
rows of huge FORCES, supplied by
fuel oil are already busy forging
important parts of cars. Also there
are long rows Of heavy steam ham
mers with each forge, and they too

corporation head that Mr.. Erskine
gave out some of the details of the
big undertaking, did south Bend be-
gin 10 realize what big things were
about TO take place right in the
heart, almost, Of the city itself.
When the United States entered
the great world war, this country
was practically unprepared for the
great struggle. A great army had
to be equipped. Munitions of war
had TO be made with which to battle
the Hun, and to make the world
safe for democracy.
The Studebaker corporation was a
successful bidder for war contracts.
The corporation had a great plant at
South Bend, and IL was willing to
aid the government in winning the
war. In order that the plant here
could make the munitions desired
by the government, additions to the
plant were necessary Special ma
chinery must be installed, and the
plant turned over entirely 10 gov
eminent work.
1t was during the war period that
Pres't Erskine began to see that his
dream of making this city the great
automobile manufacturing center of
great automobile manufacturing CEN
teers of the entire world could be
made to come true.
BUILT BETTER STRUCTURES
FOR PEACE TIME USE.
The government was ready to
stand the expense of the construc-
ton of the new buildings that were
necessary to the plant TO carry on
the war work if these buildings were
constructed according to plans and
specifications laid down by govern
ment engineers.
The corporation realized that the
war would not last forever. Pres't
Erslline knew that the allies would
triumph in the world struggle, and
that the nations of the earth would
again return TO peaceful pursuits. He
saw the opportunity. recognized it..
heard its knock at the door of South
Bend. and opened the door.
Instead of following strictly the
plans laid down by government en-
gineers for the new building neces-
Sary to carry or the government
work, the corporation built better
structures. ones that could be utilized
TO great advantage when the institu-
tiOn was again engaged in making
automobiles and other vehicles. The
government readily gave the corpor-
alton its consent in carrying out its
peace time plans. The corporation
bore the cost of the extra construc-
ton work. and today. as a result Of
this pre-peace plan of the Stude-
baker corporation, at least 90 per
cent of the additions 10 the plant is
complete.
These buildings constructed for a
double purpose. that of aiding the
government in defeating the Tun,
and for use in the manufact of
automobiles when peace retur .

lecture for manufacturing purposes.
