Among the battery OF machines
In the pattern department OF the
Oakland Motor Car Company there
stands one which Is the pride OF
the department. It Is a pattern dup

Is that 1t begins work where 9TH
ers leave off.
Duplicate patterns OF various
parts used in the manufacture OF
automobiles. such as cylinder heads,
metal gaskets and so forth are
needed as production increases and
as original patterns become worn
through use. When a model Is too
intricate for a milling machine 70
reproduce quickly and when hand
work Is too slow and inaccurate,
the duplicator turns out the job
four times as fast and within the
thickness OF a human hair from
perfection.
This Is accomplished by clamp
ing the pattern and the aluminium
stock IN the machine and adjust
ing the feeler and cutter so that
the cutter moves over the stool:
exactly as the feeler moves over
the pattern. No matter how COM
plicated q design may be, the flex-
Utility OF the duplicator Is such
that q like pattern may be produc-

 OVERTIME BATTLE
Two Extra Sessions Are NeCeS- Sary Before Verdict Is Reached

Two overtime periods had to be played Saturday night before the Burritt basketball team could over come the strong Mckinley Athletics of East Hartford in the best and most exciting preliminary game played at the Stanley Arena this season. The teams ended the resu- lation game in a tic at Fl all when Powell, visiting left forward, tossed in a basket with only five seconds to go. Then a three- minute overtime session was ordered and each team scored a field basket leaving the count deadlocked at 23-all as the time was up. Another overtime ses- sion found the visitors scoring first but the BurSitts came in strong to cage three hoops and take the de- cision by a % to 25 score.
 The visiting quintet displayed as strong defensive as the Burritt5 have met this season but on the ', points. They missed plenty of shots in close that might have given them the victory had they rolled them in the hoop.
 The Burritts led to at the end of the first quarter but at the half the positions were reversed and the visitors were leading II to s. As the third quarter came to a close, the Burritts were unable to close the gap and the East Hartfordites stil were in the lead three points, 15 tt 12

New Britain herald., 1930-03-03

Continuing their brilliant play of last week when they defeated the Brooklyn Visitations in an overtime game, the New Britain basketeers swamped the Pennsylvania Red -' Caps in q free scoring game at the Stanley Arena Saturday night. The final score was 50 to 36. The visitors who had played New Britain on even terms in their first appearance here on January II to lose out 40 to S6, proved to be no match for New Britain's revamped quintet and the locals had no trouble in win ming.
 For a good part of the first half, the game was close and the visitors kept up step by step with the Hard- ware City quintet. However, after six minutes, New Britain started to hoop plenty of baskets and the runaway started. Fast the visiting five would work, the New Britain team worked faster and the local players were shooting them in from all angles. The score at the half was . 25 to in favor of New Britain.
 The Red Caps threw scare into the camp of tue home club by a spirited spurt in the second frame. They scored a line of quick baskets to cut New Britain's lead down to 29 10 19 with six minutes played. Then New Britain picked up speed again only to have the Red Caps stage another spurt and soon the score was S5 to 27.
 New Britain took time out at this juncturc and planned a different brand of ball. The results were at once evident. Short snappy passes brought the ball into the foul circle time after time and the locals kept up their sure-fire shooting. While the New Britain defense closed up like q deep sea clam stranded on q sandy beach, it's Of | fensive grew stronger until it soon | became evident that it was not a question of which team would win | but how badly the visiting quintet would be defeated. The personal foul | been one of the Red Caps would ] have been sent out of the game three times over.
