De SOTO GIVEN
CAREFUL CHECK

DETROIT-Check and double
check, the phrase made famous
by Amos n Andy. is the daily
creed of a small army of keen
eyed experts in the automobile
manufacturing world who have the
important assignment of seeing
that several million automobiles
year go out to purchasers ex-
actly as specified by designers and
engineers.
This army of inspectors starts
work when new models are merely
patches of blue prints. and con-
tinues until the last finished car
of a model run is loaded into a
box car.
First point of inspection is usu-
ally the factory layout room. Here
is where vendors samples are
checked against engineering blue
prints for conformity to dimen-
sions and general specifications.
At the De Soto division Of
Chrysler Corp, for instance, meas
urements to one ten-thousandth
of an inch can be made with the
various gauges at hand in the
layout room, and any variation in
submitted samples must be cor
rected before the check and dou-
ble-check boys will give the pur-
chasing department the go"
signal for placing quantity orders.
Perpetual Care
After samples have been ap-
proved. and shipments by the car
load begin to arrive, the inspec-
ton department swings into the
job Of seeing that there is no devia-
ton from the approved quality OF
the samples.
Speedometers. for instance. must
be accurate within one mile per
hour up TO speed of so m. p. h.
and there is a machine to which
each incoming speedometer is at
tached that gives IT an accuracy
test at various speeds.
Propeller shafts must show no
whip or vibration at speeds up to
5000 r. p. m. and each incoming
shaft is mounted in a testing ma
chine which has electric lights that
flicker at the slightest sign of I'M
balance as the shaft whirls.
Follow Through
Having checked sample items.
and double-checked quantity ship
ments. the inspectors next turn
their attention to the production
lines. And here again they are
not satisfied with a "once over"
but have their work so systema-
tized that each important job is
cross checked at least twice.
In addition to the checking in
side the factory. a staff of road
testers is busy all day long select
ing cars at random from the end
Of the line and taking them over
a 10-mile demonstration route
just TO be sure that everything Is
as 1t should be-
