U. S. Gets Dividends

these savings" said G. +.
Wilson. president of General Mo-
tors, "can be regarded as typical
of what the automotive industry,
and industry generally, is doing.
They are the dividends which the
government Is collecting from
our investment over the years
I'm engineering and production
know-how. As times goes on,
there will be many more devel-
opments as our engineers and
production men become more and
more familiar with the new prod
ucts which they have been called
upon to produce"
Here are few examples of
material saving in connection
with General Motors production:
Until recently one part of an
anti-aircraft gun had to be whit
tied down from a 56-pound solid
steel forging to a sixspound hol-
low slotted cylinder. Then engi-
neers of GINS Pontiac Motor di-
vision suggested that the forging
be replaced by steel tubing which
could be welded to a forged base.
Results: a saving of AZ pounds
of expensive steel scrap per part.

Use Steel for Brass

Guide Lamp division perfected
a method of drawing army truck
headlamp reflectors from steel
instead of brass. The new
method uses $4,000 pounds Of
steel and five pounds of alumni
mum per 100000 vehicles, while
the old required IS, 900 pounds Of
copper, $4,000 pounds of zinc,
ITS pounds of nickel and 160
pounds of silver for the same
number of headlamps.
Totaling up all its substftu-
tons in the case of lighting
equipment for military vehicles,
Guide achieved the following
savings per month: n 90 pounds
of copper, $1,000 pounds of zinc,
5000 pounds of rubber, 1900
pounds of chrome steel. 240
pounds of aluminium and 135
pounds of nickel.
Chevrolet found It possible to
reduce the thickness of the cop
per rotating band on shells
without affecting performance,
secured war department approval
for the change, and effected
saving in copper that amounts to
5000 pounds per million shells.

One hundred thousand pounds
OF bronze per year is being saved
by Delco Products merely by
eliminating two bronze bushings
in shock absorber castings for
army trucks. The castings are
now bored to finished bearing
size. The same division now
saves 81 pounds Of aluminium
on each integral horsepower
motor it makes as a result Of
redesigning the rotor, using
copper bars for conductors and
making the fans of cast iron.
Many divisions are saving
high-grade tool steel by making
tools out of low-grade steel ex-
cept for the thin strip which
forms the cutting edge. This
strip Is welded on. In one case,
only 7-10 pounds of high vana-
dunn steel now has TO be used

GIN Plants Save
Valuable Material
With New Methods
BY sILER FREEMAN

The auto industrys acknowl-
edged leadership in achieving
production goals, while slashing
costs and saving materials with
out lowering the quality Of its
products, is asserting itself in its
war assignments. 1t has satis-
fed the government long ago
that it could surpass any mark
in output that could be set.
Now with materials scarce and
stocks running low, the industry
as a whole is proving its ingenu-
ity in substituting less critical
metals for those more critical,
through changes in design and
processes. Nowhere Is 1t better
illustrated than in the far-fiung
empire of the General Motors
Corporation.
Steel forgings, armor plate.
armor castings, copper, nickel,
chrome and rubber are some Of
the items a We d. And the
amounts, Jumped together. are
astounding.

issuing war bonds TO the banks
here will receive national re-
cognition in the Wall Street
Journal in the next few days.
The banks - the National
Bank Of Detroit and the Man
ufacturers National along with
others here-have put the job on
a mass production basis that
would do justice 10 any OF the
Big Three of the motor industry.
Chief advantage is that the
banks get the bonds out quicker.
In one case, bonds were issued
the same day the workers got
the checks in which the final
deduction was taken.
This results in better morale
and aids the sale Of the bonds.
il is pointed out. The plants got
more complaints on the time lag
between deduction and issuance
of the bonds, than any other
single thing.
Charges arc moderate for the
vice and in the case Of the
tional Bank Of Detroit-and
probably otherS-zwere reduced
as volume went up.
Indirectly. they're helping TO
fill Michigan's quotas, too. On
at least one occasion, when the
state was $4,000 900 below its
quota. the workers had actually
subscribed for S13.000,000 in
bonds which had not been de-
livered. so that actually, the
ouota was topped by $4,000. 900.
