that eliminate the high range Of

reach of the average voice. For
about a hundred years the vocal
chords of America have been ter
ribly strained trying 10 reach the
rockets. and now they have been
brought down 10 reasonable limits
In copy Of the revised version
which has just reached The Times
music desk, the original melody
remains the same. and there 10
plenty of opportunity for tn. dis

words inspire
We have been doing n lot OF talk

Speed toNictory
BY II. Il. JAMESON

The most noticeable difference in
Tacoma shipbuilding between the
first World War and now, especial
ly to the layman, is, of course, the
difference between riveting and
welding.
Then the hulls were riveted. To-
day they are welded. Welding
makes possible the increasing tend
ency towards the assembly-line
type of construction the build
ing of large sections away from
the ship ways and then bringing
1t TO the job and welding it in
place.
However, in spite of this ad-
vance in improved construction
and design, it is not the REAL
difference between then. and now.
No, the real difference is that
back from the time Of the first
World War up until shipbuilding
petered out in the middle twenties,
the Todd plant at Tacoma built
the entire ship from stem to stern,
from keel to truck - including the
boilers, engines, and all of the
rest of IL.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1942-05-09
Orn Designing

The yard did its own designing
It had its own pattern shop and
foundry. This latter place was
reminiscent Of Hades, with devils
running around with buckets OF
fire.
The plant had its own machine
shop with great lathes capable OF
truing up huge propeller shafts
and its own blacksmith shop
where mammoth steam hammers
pounded out tremendous forgings
All of the boilers were built IN
the yard which calls TO mind an
other difference between then and
now. The old type boilers for the
reciprocating engines were design
ed and built for 210 pounds press
ure. Today high pressure boilers
withstanding $50 pounds pressure
are one-third the size and conse-
ouently take up one-third inc
space.
To-day companies specializing IN
boilers. build only boilers, wniis
other firms. specializing in en-
gines build only engines.
No one will deny that this spe-
e;slizins makes for improvements
ard the modern power plant II
proof Of lust that Nevertheless
those old engines were pretty me
pieces of machinery and many OF
them are running smoothly today
