GAIN IN INDEPENDENT
MAKERS FORECAST
Auburn Co. President Says They'll
Play Larger Roles in
Next Five Years.

Independent automCr.ie manufac-
turers will increase during the next
nVe years and will play larger roles
IN the industry. in the opinion Of e.
l.. Cord. president of the Auburn
Automobile Co.
Much has been written and said re-
garding the future Of the automobile
business, and it has been a matter Of
far-reaching discussion. 1t is the gen
eral belief that two or three companies
before another decade will completely
control the industry. An intensive
study of the situation entirely abol-
ished this belief. he says.
THE motoring public is not inter
ested in combines in the automobile
industry any more than in the canned
soup business. What they are inter-
ested in is the product itself, good soup
and good cars Markets are people.
People are human. 1t is human to be
interested in a thing one buys only
in so far as it serves the buyer.
mo nation and no industry and no
individual company can survive with
out ideas and ideals. II is the ideal
of a company as reflected in its prod
uct that determines its right to public
recognition. To bid for patronage be-
cause of size or earnings is unsound.
Humility is what the automobile indus
try needs, and a reduction gets re-
sources to public service and less pa
radiugs Of it's egotism.
The first and only purpose of an
automobile company is to build better
automobiles for less money that will
give the consumer greater value and
better and longer satisfaction. When
ever that company has any other OBJ
jects, such as speculation or stock
markets, it worships false god.
Automobiles never will be produced
like uniforms-there is nothing dis
tinctive. refined or luxurious about
that. No company or group of COM
panies can ever expect to revamp the
publics taste and the human instinct
which calls for better, smarter, up-to-
date styles and more distinguished
THE company that survives is the
one that deserves to survive, whether
it is large or small"

Ihe developments expected by Mr..

"First-The appearance of the

Small cars have alwavs been as
sociated in the public mind with low

see a constantly increasing nuInbsr

much quality and style as the larger
cars. Increased demand will keen the

"Second-The Introduction of Gus.

luxury
People want greater individuality
IN the appearance Of their cars, and
now that most Of them will run salts

ward greater comfort
'Third-The development of a ma
tion-wide demand for a second, third
and fourth car i'm families now trying
TO get along with one big car Com

this will form the backbone of the
future market for new cars.

ABNORMAL STEEL
CAUSES TROUBLE
Department of Commerce
Finds Two Types-One
Leaves Soft Spots.

That many of the difficulties en-
countered by automobile manufacture
efH In the production of steel parts
are the result of the fact that there
are two types of steel. one which is
prone to leave soft spots when il is
Carbonlzed, the other usually harden
Ing evenly throughout it's surface,
recently has been discovered by a
metaIiurgist Of roller bearing com
pahN, according to a report issued
Dy the Department of Commerce. The
difference lies in the structure Of the
steel and is revealed by microscopic
examination, the report states.
CarbOnizing Is Old.
The carhonizing. or case hardening
OF steel is one of the oldest processes
known in the history of steel pro
auction. OF recent years Ii has come
into wide use in the automotive in
dustry in making those parts which
must have hard wearing surface
Whlle the interior remains tough and
duCtlle. This surface is gained by
impreGnating the outside of the article
with carbon and then quenching it.
An example is camshaft of an auto
mobile, which must have a hard sur
face to keep the wear down to a
minimum to insure smooth running
The process is complicated. and one
of the most serious difficulties en-
countered Is that of soft spots. "Ab-
normal steel. so termed by the metal
lurgist who discovered the two types
of metal, is that which is prone to
give soft spots. In contradistinction
to normal" steel
UDsets Conclusions.
The conclusion that the kind of steel
used may be responsible for soft spots
was at first not accepted by ali metal
lurgists. However, the Bureau of
Sta ndards, Department of Commerce.
has studied the problem and shown
that the two types of steel really exist
and the abnormal steel is more prone
to give soft spots. Aside from the
tendency to give soft spots, however.
the abnormal type is not inferior to
the normal and in some ways may
even he superior. 1t was shown that
by somewhat more rastic quenching
It is possible to harden satisfactorily
both types of steel.
