FORD COMPANY MAKES
100000 BOLTS A DAY

Converting 116 tons Of steel wire
into more than 100000 bolts and
screws a day is the task accom-
plished in one department at the
Highland Park plant Of the Ford
Indeed, the production schedule
calls for 100000 bolts and screws
daily ana the department itself
boasts a record of 100000. To the
average person, the name Of this
interesting manufacturing unit Of
the great factory Is a misnomer. It
is called the cold heading depart
manufacturing process of making
ment from the fact that in the
bolts and screws the principal
operations are cutting bolt and screw
parts from steel wire and putting
so-called heads" on them without
heating. Machines employed in do
ing this work are almost uncanny
in their speed and accuracy.
Operations are so rapid the hu-
man eye cannot catch them. Steel
wire is fed in, clipped the proper
length, the cut piece automatically
shifted to q die, where, under
pressure, it is shortened, part of
the metal gathering at one end.
Another automatic change, the head
is formed and flip! an injector
drops the complete bolt into a
container. 1t all happens in the
fraction of second, for these
machines have a capacity of 500
bolts a minute and exert a pressure
varying from 5000 to 10000 pounds,
according to the size of the bolt
or screw part.

CEMENT IN USE
IN ANCIENT
TIMES
Modern Product, However, Is
Manufactured and Is
Uniform

Long before the dawn Of the Chris.
tian era people had been using ce-
menting materials for a variety Of
building purposes. The Carthegen.
ians erected an aQueduct in north
ern Africa, seventy miles long. sew
eral centuries before the Roman
Empire was established.
Vitru Vius, architect for Angus
tus, wrote at length on the uses Of
cements and plasters, while the
elder Pliny mentions cement a num-
Der Of times in his writings. The
tomb Of King Tut-Ankh-Ame in
the Valley of the Kings, Luxor,
Egypt, has only recently disclosed
examples Of the early use Of cement
ing materials.
All Of these early cements were
natural cements. The Romans used
Slaked lime mixed with volcanic ash.
They had discovered that such a
mixture made a superior building
material.
The difference between these
early cements and modern portland
cement is that portland cement Is
manufactured. Its composition ia
known at all times. Certain mate.
lials are pulverized, proportioned
mixed, burned at high temperature
and reground to make a standard
product.
It was not until 1855 that an
English engineer found that an i'm.
pure limestone containinO a car.
tain amount of clayey matter pos.
sessed the property Of hardening
under water when burned and re.
duced to powder.
In 1924, Joseph Aspdin, mason
OF Leeds, England, was granted a
patent for a material he called
portland cement" because of its
similarity when hardened to a rock
quarried on the Isle of Portland.
Aspdin's chief contribution was his
discovery of the value Of proper.
tioning, mixing, burning and grind.
ing the materials.
