Character of Glass

The manufacture of glass antedates
authentic history. 1t is only about
three-quarters of a century, however,
since Its true character was ascer
tained. 1t Is now generally conceded
to be a salt--a chemical compound
resulting from the union of an acid
with base. The acid is silica, the
same that is found in quartz, or the
quartz particles of sand. Hence the
use of sand In Its manufacture.
The base may be potash Tor soda)

Chevrolet Trucks Have
Standard AutOmOtiVa Paris

Eight members of the Washington
section, Society of Autcmotive Engineers,
demonstrated the advantages of standard
automotve parts recently by assembling
a half-ton Chevrolet chassis in the record
time of six and one; half minutes, in com
petition with six other teams similarly
engaged. The stunt was feature of the
Society's annual summer meeting at
French Lick, Ind.
While the assembly, delegates derived
much amusement from watching the sew
en- teams vie for a record in a line of
work with which they were unfamiliar,
except in theory. the performance also
carried its lasson to many of the watchers.
But for the perfecty-ftting parts, the
assembly might have required hours in
stead OF minutes. The elapsed time was
strkinely short, in view of the fact that
none OF the assembers were connected
with Chevrolet nor familiar with its me-
chanical details Three of the winning
teams were engineers OF the United
States Bureau of Standards,
The slowest team required only a few
minutes longer than the fastest, and its
hurray added amusement TO the contest.
AS test of each teams work, each car
had 10 be run five times around loop in
the nearby driveway before the results
were certified.
The seven trucks were shipped TO
French Lick from the Chevrolet factory at
Flint. Mich. Such parts as the distributor
assembly, the wiring system, gasoline
tank. carburetor, front and rear wheel
and various other units. together with
miscellany of bolts. nuts and screws
were then removed and tossed into boxes
in the pits adjacent to the assembly
space. Equipped only with two sets of
tools such as are furnished with each
Chevrolet truck. each team had then TO
select the parts and put them in their
proper place.
The quick assembly job performed at
French Lick offers hint as to the reason
for Chevrolet trucks popularity" said a
representative of Peterson Hardware Co.
Trucks are business vehicles, and the
owner loses whenever they are laid up
for repairs. The seven teams at the S.
A. +. meeting demonstrated that the
owner himself can maze the needed re-
placements, in most cases, with no equip
ment except that furnished with his
truck and thus keep his Chevrolet max
