 The exposition will be review 0K Ameriea's mechanical prepared. nass. Many new and radically diff ferent machines will be placed on exhibition for the first time.
 First Show fin Six Years
 To. the business world, 1t carries special significance. The show will be the first of its kind since the lightning of the depression. It will desclose results of six years of eff fort to improve the efficiency and accuracy of machine tools.
 Twice as large as the last show, held in 1929, the exposition will spread over five and half acres in the huge Cleveland municipal auditorium. Its packers proclaim It. the largest industrial exposition ever held in the Undted States. For example, they point out that the show will require as much electri- cal energy daily as would be re- qhired to supply a city the size of Butler, Pa., or Zanesville. O., with electrical power for q similar pe- riod. It is estimated that 5000 kill owats of energy will be needed

hourly when the machines ore un. der full power.
 Special Ship Chartered
 Visitors will come by air, sea and land. A special chartered steamship will bring 1900 persons from Detroit. Hundreds will ar- rive in air planes.
 Industrial and governmental leaders point to the show as adef- mite sign that full industrial rev!- val Is on its way.
 Visitors not acquainted with the rapid progress the machine tool industry has made in recent years will be amazed at some of the ex. hibits. They will see, among other things, explosive containers for shooting deep wells, an arc weld ing electrode designed to restore worm cutting edges on tools of all kinds, a new honing machine for the Diesel engine field and small tools sapable of cutting glass with ease and even scratching a sap phire.
 Precision Stressed Throughout
 There will be a tapping machine, weighing 1000 pounds, suspended in three places by pair of blocks so accurately Tapped that when placed together they adhere with out physical connection.
 There will be gauge blocks meas uring in millionths of an inch. A diagram which enables the tool maker to select the proper tool steel for new tools and thousands of other late devices.
 A machine tool congress will be held concurrently with the expo sition. Experts will discuss machine tool production problems and shop practices.
