These f. are being reeogniz- ed and with that recognition there Is n gl owing appreciation of the value of the opinions of the men in tho shop concerning equipment, Usually eSpr, ssion Of shop opinion is secured fror the foremen, More and more wide.awake concerns are giving cir foromen q voice in tho selection of equipment. A large concern. to which I have referred prc 'ously. r'ne so far as to insist that all recommendation for equipment must originate with th foromen of the lant, To follow such a policy does not mean that the superintendent or the manager or the president, need sit by and wait until the forement have discovered needed equiI lent It does mean ., tactful plan for getting the foremcn 10 sell himself In regard 10 that equipment and finally 10 recom- mond and request it.

they stand around. Another is that the floor space Is too valuable to givo over to them,
 Drive
 There IS a great difference oi opinion as to tho best method of drive for modern nadine tools in mod rn shops, Individual motor drive and group motor drive with telts from overhead works 10 the machines arc receiving most atten ton, Tho method of transmitting all of the power from n single unit by means of line shafts seems to be of the running.
 The proponents of the group criye advance as then princip4' argument the lowering of the power factor when many motors are run. ming at less than full load. They point, also, 10 tho greater invest ment in l. ors when individual motor drive is tho metho' adopted
 Those who favor the indiyidua' dr. Q are in lined 10 believe that the advantages Of the absence Of tclts, with greater cleanliness and better light, and with accessibility for service by overhead cranes moro than offset any increased costs. They point out also. that with group drive, when transmits sion line or motor goes out. the en- tire group Is out; that there Is much waste wh n only q single machine or few machines are run over time; and that the advant. ge of tho tlexibility of the individual drive in positioning and moving machlnes is of itself a suffi tent Slaim in favor that type of drive,
 ITO me it appears that each shop must work out the problem for 't- self and I point out he situation as q sugg! stion to the machine tool builder that the prospective buyer of his equipment may have very good reasons back Of his desire for just the kind of drive that the builder is not furnishing. no mattei WHICH hlHu IL bt. l HID l uc hIlON that once man has convinced him. self that individual motor drive Is the thing, he has a great antipathy 5 toward belts.
 Favor is som etimes shown the single-pulley drive because ma chircs so equipped are more readi- l ly sold as second hand. The fac that electrical current differs ir different localities is another point in favor of the single-pulley drive Single Purpose Vs Standard | Machines
 ITO some extent the selection o1 single purpose or standard ma, chine tools is comparable to the selection of one or the other type of drive. Some manufacturers lear very heavily toward the special single purpose machine. It Is pro table that they do so because the find that it pays, even when nt such machine is available on th. market, but must be designed anG tuilt in their own factories. Thert are others who will almost 50 out of their way to stick to standard m; chimes, In favor of the single. purpose machine is the fact that

 Machine Tool Records
 "The importance of machine tool records has cen brought 10 my at- tcntio' If we agree that plants should be kept modernizc We must .agrcc, q Ink, that the machine tool record is Indispensable, not alone for coat. depreciation and inventory purposes, but for carrying record of the costs of repairs and cons, parativo data needed in dealing with tho equipment problem.
 The I-'iman Equation
 "One of the dvantages of up-to- date machine equipment is the ef- feet upon employees. It Is only hu. man nature 10 want 10 live in q mod m house, 10 own an automo- bile with tho latest improvements, and 10 W 10 work with the latest equipment. I was told recently In q big and comparatively new shop where there are none but individu- ally motor-driven tools, tat when the mon were moved from an old shop, with older methods of drive, into the new one. some of them said they grew six inches.
 Ut is not uncommon for manag- CTS or equipment engineers to be- lieve that there is q no iceable in. crease in production when new and modern equipment is used, due to its effect upon the morale of the oper- ator and entirely aside from in crease due to the greater producttv- | ity of the equipment.
 Tt seems quite logical. as has been explained to me. that there Is 2 psychological effect upon men of the movement of materials, for eX- ample on conveyors. and for that matter, on rapid production ma chimes, that induces an ambition 10 maintain the ovement, or even to accelerate 1t,
 Modem machinery has taken much of the odius heavy labor from the backs and hands of the work men. Power rapid traverse mechan' isms have eliminated the heavy and time-wasting cranking formerly necessary to elevate cross-rails and to traverse heads and tables. Im- movements such as push button control have reduced danger to both machinery and men and have saved much :,me formerly wasted. Pro per and complete guards have greatly reduced the hazards of ma chi n-s hop work, have saved men much suffering and much money Convenient controls have added tc tho days production and have madt 1t possible for he operators of the heaviest machines 10 leave the shor after a day work still compara lively fresh. These improvements inherent iu up-to-date equipm ent have benefited machine-tool build ing and machine-tool using jndust tries greatly because of the in. creased satisfaction of the shop per sonncl.

PUBLIC RECEPTION
Philadelphia Will Honor Heroes of the Sea Who Saved Lives of Ship Wrecked Sailors.

Philadelphia, Feb. 10 Llp--A pub lie reception awaits the arrival here of the crew of the Belgian tanker Arminto, due late today or tomor- row from Halifax, in recognition of the heroic rescue of the crew of the Norwegian vessel Johannes Dyhe- Tad, disabled and abandoned in mid Atlantic during the severe storms of the last week In January.
 King Albert of Belgium, has cabled SnOwden Henry, Belgian con- sul here, to tender the crew q public reception and give members every recognition "betitting heroes of the sea" The city of Philadelphia will also participate in the welcome.
 The Norwegian ship left Barry. i England, for Boston January D, and when IS days out became disabled. 1 The crew was forced into the life boats and fioated around in the open sea for two days before being picked i up by the Arminto which Speeded 1 10 the scene in answer to distress ] calls.

Through he Static

You can take the heading ot this article literally today because We are contiding in you the fact that con- ditions were impossible last even- ing. Ot course, by that, we don't mean that it was impossible to bNng in any stations. It was. WJ&, New York; WBZ, Springfield, and few others surmounted the surf Of static, but others away off in the distance succumbed to the effects of the interference and died on the spot. And it's just as well, because We aren't crazy about writing any thing today, anyway. The weather has jumped on our nerves with both feet and we feel like packing up the old kit bag and hitting out for Florida. Or course. there's the con- ton of fares and other excuses for the use Of money, but we haven't reached that point in our plans.
 WNYC crashed through pretty well early in the evening, a Boy Scout program being the feature offering. Bugle calls and a talk by an Eagle scout were on the bill.
