CHEVROLET TRUCK PRODUCTION
INCREASED

An increase of twenty per cent in
production of light delivery trucks
during the first half of this year over
the same period 10 1929 was announ-
ced today by Sydney Corbett, manager
of the commercial car division of the
Chevrolet Motor Company.
Figures for the comparable periods
were q, 226 units as against 2,613 to
July last year.
This production increase Mr.. Cor
bett attributed to the need for light de-
livery trucks in federal, state, munich
pal and public utility construction
projects now under way, and to the
growing use of the light truck in rural
sections. Farmers, especially, are
finding the light delivery an econo-
mical and necessary addition to farm
equipment, he said, and the wide va
riety of body types available enables
the user to choose the exact body for
the work to be done.
While commercial car production is
necessarily a minor part of the total
output of the Chevrolet Motor Com
pany, Mr.. Corbett pointed out that it
is accounting for a constantly !ncreas-
ing production OF each years output.
The company first began building COM
mercial cars in 1915, he stated, and
since that date 1, 1859. 900 units had been
built, up to the middle of this year, or
in ratio of better than one commercial
car to each six passenger cars.

AGE OF ALLOYS
IS IN PROSPECT
M. |. T. Professor Outlines
Undertaking and Explains
Value Of Special Steel.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 6.-An
age of alloys is in prospect, an era of
discovering new metals with which to
make machines capable Of doing still
more of the mental tasks of men and
women.
One great undertaking in this direc-
ton is outlined by DR.. G. B. Water
mouse, professor OF rnetallurgy of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
and head Of the committee recently ap-
pointed by the engineering foundation
to organize research into iron and steel
alloys.
Alloys are made by combining metals
and sometiems the addition of very
small amounts of the right substance
causes surprising changes.
THE creating of special steels" he
says, ALREADY has influenced the daily
life OF nearly every person. The public
has marveled at endurance flights last
ing hundreds of hours, seldom realizing
what changes in aircraft engines made
the records possible.
1.-THE perfect functioning of these en-
gines depends largely upon valves mace
of special steel capable of standing I'D
under terrific stresses. We would not
have had these remarkable engines If
these special steels had not been de-
veloped.
Special steel may develop other sig
nif1cance in aviation for the framework
of one of Great Britain's new dirigibles
Is built of this material"
Huge locomotives that work under
unprecedented steam preSsures are
another tribute to special steels. It was
necessary to develop steels which would
not creep" under high temperatures.
These new steels also make possible
the use OF 1,200-pound pressures to the
square inch in steam. electric plants.
Germanys newest cruiser, held bv
treaty to 10000 TONS was built of special
steels that DR.. Waterhouse saws has SET
engineers elsewhere to studying. These
steels contributed to the Bremen's
transatlantic records.
