confronting the auto industry IN
moving over from typical mass
production Of cars to the more M
tricate task of manufacturing DEF
Tense products.
80 YEARS OF EFFORT
He explained that nearly SO
years of effort were required 10
develop maximum value per dol-
lar cost in the auto field to pros
duce an engine weighing SIX
pounds per horsepower, whereas
"the 1,325-horsepower Allison airs
plane engine weighs less than one
pound per horsepower. +"
Hunt also demonstrated on the
platform an Oerlikon gun, a
rapid-fire weapon designed as an
answer to dive bombers, which
fires projectiles approximately
eight-tenths of an inch in diameter
with alternate tracerS and shells
at a rate approaching that OF
machine gun. The shells are so
sensitive they will explode on hit
ting a piece of paper.
Also demonstrated at the after
noon defense showing were the
Canadian tank powered by Gem
eral Motors produced Diesel en-
CINE. the GIN produced army
trucks, and the various pursuit
ships powered by GIN Allison en-
gines.

KETTERING AT BANQUET
IGNORE PRODUCTION

With Sloan at the banquet in
the Hotel Statler which climaXed
the General Motors defense and
new model show was Charles +.
Kettering, vice president in charge
of research. who discussed the
potential chronological improve
ments which will appear in the
postwar world.
Kettering said that the 100
octane fuel of modern airplaneS
appears TO be the ultimate of de-
velopment in this line when COM
pared with the 50-octane gasoline
of the World War.
But someday we'll have a
triptane' verage.. Way up
around $50 octane rating and
we don't even know whether
that will be the top" he said,
He showed the group samples OF
glass cloth, powdered iron heater
leak proof gasoline tanks, WOO
made of SKINNED milk and dem.
onstrated a mercury peanut type
lamp.
"We've only scratched the
surface" he concluded. Things
I like these and many more are
going to be forced out by this
war"

said.
IGNORE PRODUCTION
"An important official OF the
state department was stating the
postwar detectives Of the gov
eminent and he elaborated at
length on a grand expansion Of
the Lend-Lease Act, that would
provide all kinds OF food, cloth
ing. and money to reconstruct
the fallen countries. In all these
plans I have never seen one con-
sideration TO the thought that
we should produce more.

about time that somebody began

Touching briefly on the problem
" sub-contractS. the General Mo-
tors chieftain said that although
he had always been a great be-
lever in decentralization, there
are certain complications in the
current problem.
"In the words OF Hugh John
SON." he said. desirable as Is the
sub-contracting of these con-
tracts, II meant first a higher
cost, II meant poorer quality,
and third, II meant a consider
ably increased length Of time"
Sloan pointed out that in the
early stages of the defense pro-
gram il has been impossible fol
the corporation to deal with thu
problem of sub-contraets because
swift production was the, para
mount object.
