WASHING TON, May IL
United States Army is building
seven armored divisions of { h e

striking power in Europe.
Each division will have 10000
officers and men, and also, 2S7
light tanks, 40 medium tanks,
275 heavily armed scout cars and
over 1000 other vehicles including
trucks and motorcycles. 1t will
have 500 radios in its vehicles

it will take 114000 gallons of
gasoline to move this division $50

Cost OF the mechanical equip

Speed Production
By Broaching'
New Metal-Cntting Tool
Does Intricate Job
BY GUSTAV Won REFS
Presi6est, Detroit Brosrh Company

Probably those in this country
who are most forcibly impressed
with the Importance of speed in
defense production are the manu-
facturers in the Woodworking in
dustries. BY every possible means
they are producing more than was
ever considered possible before
utilizing the most modern methods
to cut down the time required f.
many individual operations.
Through broaching, great
number of concerns have found IT
possible to produce many more
parts with greater accuracy, better
finish and lower costs
Broaching Is a relatively new
method of metal-cutting. During
World War / it was practically
unknown.
A breach is metal-cutting tool
used for finishing rough forgings
and castings to produce accurate
and smooth surfaces. There are few
Limitations in the variety of shapes
which can be produced by this type
of tool. The most intricate external
forms can be preached TO ex-
tremely close limits of accuracy.
In number of cases. no other
method or process could be en-
ployed to produce the same forms.
Today, the Detroit Breach Conn
pany is serving manufacturers
engaged in the most important
production activities in the defense
program. Aircraft parts. tank
parts. torpedo boat parts. "blitz

rifle parts. are being b.oached and
are being completed in a period OF
time that was uncreamed of in
1918. AS one typical example,
rife trigger guards are being
/ finished 10 times faster by broach-
ing than by the methods used in
the last war. Three operations
finish the entire complicated con-
tour which is held to extremely
close tolerances throughout.

GIN Beats Schedule
On Machine Gun Order

Months ahead of schedule, Gen.
eral Motors is now in production
on its SOL 100000 machine gun
order, Charles f. Wilson, president
Of the corporation. has announced.
Machine gun production lines
are in operation in General Motors
plants in Saginaw and Flint, Mich,
and a stock of the completed guns
is being built up, ready when
called for by the United States
Army.
"These latest additions TO
Americas rapidly rising noun
tain of defense materials are a
sample of what the autOmOtive
industry can do In producing
non-autOmOtive defense prod
ucts." Wilson said. "They were
not built In our regular prOduc-
tion plants nor with our regular
production machinery, but they
are evidence of our mass pro-
ductiOn skill and knOw-hOw."
The GIN machine gun assign
ment, the first such order given
outside the small arms industry in
the East, is allotted to four cor
poration plants in Michigan, Ohio
and New York. Fifty-one other
companies throughout the East
and Middle West are furnishing
parts and materials.

which 1900 separate machine OPP
erations will be performed per gun.
The .30-caliber machine guns have
189 parts, some of which require
as many as sc distinct machine
operations.
The machine guns manufactured
by General Motors are air-cooled
and can fire from 600 to 1,400
rounds a minute. depending on
type. The effective range of the
.50-caliber gun is more than four
miles.
