Not only the time element
was conquered in many OF the
jobs. but the savings in critical
materials was substantial. A
company making machine gun
parts perfected a specially de-
signed shape of high alloy steel
10 process barrels. The forged
shapes, weighing AZ pounds, re-
placed 65-pound billets OF steel
rod stock.
Efficiencies. due TO lessons
learned in peasetime produc-
ton of cars and the keen COM
petition among car makers, have
brought some amazing savings,
the report points out. An auto
matte cannon, costing originally
$1,000, was brought down to the
$1,000 mark and now an addi-
tional 40 per cent has been
slashed from the cost.
A marine engine maker, also
producer of fine plane engines,
has cut 81 per cent of the cost
OF its motor.

Achieves Shortcuts

The council points proudly TO
the achievements in production
shortcuts by the use OF auto
motive technique. One of the
companies which undertook shell
manufacture upset all army ira
dition by doing away with the
pierce and draw method, substi-
tuting the upset-forge process.
1t was able to turn out a million
shells in IS days and the next
million In 35 days. It Is still
chopping off time from further
assignments.
Twenty-Five per cent time was
cut from the manufacture OF
machine guns. Another auto
company cut four months from
the schedule of producing a
foreign anti-aircraft gun and 30
days from the time required by
the leading British armament
maker

Cites Huge Deliveries

The booklet traces the piling
up of war orders from before
Pearl Harbor until the present
time, how orders multiplied not
in millions but in billions and
competition vanished in the
highly competitive industry.
1t reveals that deliveries OF
ornaments in the first six
months of 1912 are estimated at
upwards of 81, 400, 900, 900. This
is one and a half times the value
of all ornaments shipped by the
industry from September. 1889,
when World War IL broke out,
until the attack on Pearl Harbor.

opment comes at the very moment
the bus lines go under wartime
regulations as regards their inter-
city operations, so that the victory
may be short-lived.
The Iron horse reached its peak
in 1920 when 1925, 600, 900 passen-
gers were carried nearly az billion
miles. 1t was the year climaxing
thewar boom and millions of ex-
soldiers were on the loose in their
home land and wanted TO see and
enjoy IL.
Although the rails have taken a
back seat as to the number Of
passengers, they still hold first
place by a comfortable margin in
revenues-and after all that's what
counts.
