make still other selections. Nor
does it forget the fact that there
is a geographic influence on taste
which means that the color that
may prove popular in Gallipolis,
Ohio, may be a dud in Kankakee,
Ill.
Goes the Whole Way
Let 1t be assumed that the com.
pany is manufacturing 1000 cars
daily. This, incidentally, Is not the
correct figure. OF this 1000 cars,
with production behind orders, each
will be finished in tone, one OF the
three, specified by the dealer his
order blank. 1t represents an enor-
nous amount of work and a stu.
pendous production problem, but
since the motor car maker decided to
give the buyer color he has gone
nearly all the way and given him his
favorite shade.
AS a brief illustration of the
internal compile atoms represented,
there Is the job of synchronizing the
fast and endlessly moving produc"
ton lines. What delay would re-
suit, for instance, if green fender
were to come in on conveyor meet
ing a purple body when a black
fender was specified? Or purple
body were to come down to meet a
red hood or a set of desert-sand col
ored wheels were to meet a J dy
that called for red ones?
They do not come in this fashion,
however, as a glance at the factory
production line shows. This Is an
engineering accomplishment OF the
industry that is not widely recog.
nized and yet, in its way, it is quite
as important as high compression,
accelerator wells, or any other feas
ture of design engineering.
1t is an interesting thing that IN
many factories colors do not have
names. 1t probably is an excellent
thing also, for the workmen might
have great difficulty detecting the
difference between a gazelle blue
and an azure blue.
Instead of names, numbers or let
ters are assigned to each of the
color combinations. The symbol is
attached to the body or otherwise
marked upon it. Let it be assumed
that it is an L." When such a
body advances on the battery OF
lacquer spraying machines, the
operator of the one labeled IL" gets
ready to fire. If another part of
the body is to take color "a" the
information is specifically given so
that the operator of spray IL"
knows where to begin and where
to leave off.
The system whose complex prod.
uct in the form of cars Of all shades
of the rainbow Is visible on almost
any mile of highway in the country
Is simplicity itself. 1t was tre-
mendous task to make it simple,
however. As one looks it over in
any of several factories, one is
acutely aware of the engineering
achievement it represents.
But the public wanted color. 1t
gets 1t.

Based on the car ownership ratio
that prevails in Detroit, New York
city should own more than 1900. 900
passenger cars instead of $50 900.
BY the same reckoning Chicago
should have an additional 535 900
cars; Philadelphia, $50. 900, and Bos.
ton, 115,000.
High Rate In Detroit
In Detroit there is one car for
every 3.5 persons. The reason for
this high rate OF car ownership Is
found In the first-class pavement
mileage that makes 1t possible for
Detroit motorists to get out into
the country. comfortably and
quickly. Wayne county, in which
Detroit Is located, has the equiva.
lent OF about 400 miles of smooth
pavements of 4O.foot width.
Los Angeles, possessed of a net.
work of smooth pavements both
within and near the city, has the
astounding ratio of one car for each
2:25 persons.
Bad pavements, great mileages Of
which are found in most cities, con.
stitute the greatest obstacle to car
buying. Along with narrow streets,
bottle. necks'' and the absence Of
high-speed arteries, bad pavements
account for the low car ratio of one
vehicle to every seven persons in
Boston, and of one passenger car for
every nine Twins in Philadelphia and
Chicago.
