Fundamentally many of the ma
chimes that are used in producing
both engines are similar, but they
are far from interchangeable.
Even if an acceptable aviation
engine were developed that could
be produced by simpler automotive
.methods-and many , researchers
are at work on the problem-the
factor of size and related differ
ence in equipment would make
adaptation of the specialized auto
mobile machinery a tremendously
difficult if not inSuperable task.
Another factor is at work
against adoption Of batteries of
fully automatic machinery for
preSent-type aviation engines:
An automobile maker, once Lis

this reason. adaptable types have

Most working parts are finished

here is why:
Automobile engineers for
years have known that the
slightest scratch or sharp edge
in metal Is the point where all
the destructive force of vibra-
ton and stress concentrate to
extend the damage until a break
occurs and the engine part fails.
But an automobile motor, like
a bridge or the structure of a
Skyscraper, carries a wide margin
of safety, so that absolute insur-
ance against imperfectionS can be
confined to the working surfaces.
