Living Costs
Wages Climb Faster, So
Car Sales Go Up

Noteworthy but uncommented
upon in explaining the soaring
sales of new and used cars has
been the failure of the cost of
living to climb in relation 10
wages, according to d. u. Bath
rick. general sales manager of
Pontiac Motor Division. Inter-
preting a national scale of living
index, Bathrick points out that the
spread between wages and living
expenses has reached record
high.
A family which earned S120 a
month in 1893, according to the
index, now earns S15749 at the
same job. However. in 1888 this
hypothetical family spent every
cent of wages TO live because
living expenses and wages were
parallel Today while the family
is earning S157.49 it is spending
for living expenses only $130.76
for the same standard of living.
This widening margin be-
tween income and Outgo for
routine living certainly Is being
reflected In automobile sales"
.Bathrick commented.

The latest addition to the CMC

fourth of a series of plant addi-
tons since last June. The new
building represents the largest

in Pontiac this year, and Is located
directly east of the company's
main factories on South boulevard.

New Duplicating
Control Speeds
Aircraft Output
Eliminates Necessity
for Skilled Help on
Intricate Work

A new, low cost dual duplicating
control attachment which was de-
signed for use with almost any
machine tool is now being used
to speed aircraft production by
providing semi-automatic control
Of a production turning operation.
Eliminating the necessity for
specially skilled help by providing
automatic control over a 1SO
degrees included angle. the new
dual unit. designed and built by
Detroit Universal Duplicator Com
pany, is one of the two complete
units now in operation at a well
known aircraft plant.
Advantage OF the attachment,
Il is said. over machine tool
built especially for the operation
is that, if necessary the control
attachment can be disconnected
and lathe used for regular turning
operations. Moreover. the semi
automatic control permits the
lathe to be used by comparatively
unskilled help on relatively in
tricate work.
While similar in design with the
standard. single control which is
used largely for die and mold
duplicating. the new dual unit has
duplicate solenoids, pumps, n.y.
draulic motors. tracer contacts,
etc. Two separate hydraulic heads
actuate cross and longitudinal
feeds, each with a de-clutching
lever. TO permit change-over from
automatic to manual control.

Production Turning

A simplified push-button control
board, mounted on the head of the
lathe permits selection of speeds,
etc. for both the lathe and dupli-
eating control. The tracer unit
mounted on the lathe bed and
positioned to follow the outline Of
a template fixed to the cross
slide has two sets of contacts to
control either solenoid as required.
A solenoid operated clutc h
mounted in the gear train permits
steep walled cuts at high speeds
without any digging in or gouging.
Example of the type of work to
be done by the two engine lathes,
which were manufactured by Reed
Prentice Corporation and con-
verted for automatic operation by
the Detroit Universal Duplicator
Company, is the production turn
ing of an aircraft engine part.
