LARGEST MOTOR
PLANT In THE WORLD

Covering total of nearly 300 acres,
of which 1913 are under roof, the High
land Park plant of the Ford Motor
Company is the largest Individual
motor plant in the world.
Here the Ford car is built, the cast
ings being received from the River
Rouge plant and bodies from the var
ious Ford bodybuilding plants.
The unit of Highland Park includes
the main offices, the Highland Park
power plant, the Detroit sales branch,
the boys industrial school and the
manufacturing unit.
Under the latter head are included
the motor assembly, car assembly,
motor test, top and upholstery depart
ments, stock rooms, drop forge plant,
glass factory and others.
Today these plants present the
scene of the greatest activity in the
history of the Ford Motor Company,
as every energy is being directed to
reaching the 5000 cars a day schedule
set by the manufacturing department.
The manufacture of 5000 separate
Ford units daily presents staggering
production figures and calls for the
highest degree of accuracy in each
manufacturing operation. 1t means
that in the motor assembly depart
ment 5000 motor blocks are handled
$4,000 connecting rods, $4,000 valves
and necessary mechanical materials,
the installation of $4,000 main motor
bearings with other production figures
in the same ratio and to uniformly
high standard of quality.
Each of these parts is subjected to
exacting balance and micrometer tests
and as production at the Highland
Park plant increases it is necessarily
accompanied with an increase in the
accuracy with which each Individual
port is made in order that the various
assembly operations may progress
smoothly and without interruption.
Production at the plant has not
been increased by more work but by
increasing man power to the utmost

OF the mechanical equipment capacity
and at the present time 10000 men
are employed at the plant, working
elght-hour shifts six days a week on
twenty-four hour day basis.
In the huge forge plant where 5000
front axles. 5000 crank shafts and
other drop forge parts are made,
there has been added equipment and
greater man power is being used to
| produce the necessary parts and at
the same time there has been an IN
cerased quality marking every phrase
of Ford construction.
To guard against the possibility of
outside manufacturer failing IN this
huge production schedule the glass
plant, the fabric plant and other allied
plants at the Highland Park group are
all working on a twenty-four hour
schedule.
In the glass factory there is a never
ending flow of molten glass from the
furnace mouth at which it is rolled out
and slipped along in a 465-foot ribbon
to the cutting end where it is cut into
lengths and sent to the polishing
machines.
In the plant the work on top mater
ial goes increasingly and tops and up
holstery are cut and sewed by hand
into proper parts.
Ford motors undergo the most ex-
acting tests. No human agency IS
permitted to pass upon the final mt
ness of the individual motor. Each IS
operated in test by electricity and
under the supervision of an expert,
while in room separate and apart
from this, the delicate electrical dyna-
mOmeter records the test to the ut
most fineness, and it is upon the YER
dict Of this instrument that each
motor receives its final stamp OF ap-
prOval.
From all departments the various
finished parts emerge upon endless
conveyors and are carried to the as
sembly lines and the movement is so
synchronized that each unit arrives at
the proper point in exact ratio to the
manufacturing need.
These parts are assembled by ex-
pert workmen each performing his
specific operation as the motors are
carried along on constantly moving
conveyor until they come out complet-
ed at the end and in the same manner
the motors come to the final assembly
line where cars and trucks are COM
pleted. There they are mounted on
the chassis and started so that experts
may pass upon the ignition action and
other mechanical operations as they
are conveyed along the line to be
turned out complete and leave the
final station under their own power.
Though 1922 set up a production
record of 1851, 1888 the present year
under the schedule now on will in
crease this by several hundred thous-
and and indications are t hat the pro-
duction for the year will pass the mill
ion and one half mark in Cars and
Trucks.

Does Not See How
Trial Can Be Avoided

Lexington, Ky, Dec. 1S-Rev. Lee
w. Heaton, rector of Trinity Episco-
pal church, Fort Worth, Texas,
against whom heresy charges have
been made for challenging the doc
trine of the virgin birth, today said
he knew nothing of arrangements
being made to avoid his trail.
II believe that it will be impos-
sible to legally avoid the trial unless
Bishop Moore withdraws the charges
and backs down completely from his
present position" he said.
Rev. Heaton is visiting here. He
reasserted he would prefer to work
in some other diocese than stand the
proposed trial.
Il haven't denied the virgin birth
Of Christ" he said. Il don't intend
to deny it. So many wonderful and
inexplicable things happen in the
world that it would be foolish to deny
anything. My position is that a be-
lief in the virgin birth is not neces-
sary-that a man can be just as
good a Christian without believing
it."
Thus DR.. Heaton summarized his
views between the fundamentals and
the modernists, which some church.
men have expressed an opinion
threatens to split the Episcopal
church in America"
''They intend to convict me and
then use my conviction as a cudgel
over the heads of the rest OF the
clergy" DIR. Heaton said.

$500 to Be Used for
Moving Picture
Machine, Junior III. S,

Mayor Leon o. Tebbetts received
a check for $500 in the mail yes
terday from DR.. George G. Averill
Of this city to be used for a moving
picture machine for the new Junior
high school. DR.. Averill has always
been interested in community well
fare during his residence in the city
and this Is not the first time by any
means that he has made substan-
tial contributions for worthy causes.
When the Junior High school was
built motion picture booth was
constructed in the gallery of the au-
ditorium. Up to this time this booth
has been empty and DR.. Averill no.
ticing the need of the machine has
given the money for this purpose.
Mayor Tebbetts expects to purchase
the machine very soon and il it does
not take the entire $500 he will prob
ably use the rest to purchase neces-
sary accessories, such as a white
screen.
Such a machine will prove of
great benefit to the school as at the
present time there are many valu-
able educational pictures that can be
procured at a reasonable cost.
