Saves Cutting Tools

The idea which jumps Pack
ards production one engine a
month was submitted, strangely
enough, by a former salesman.
He is d. +. Holmes. on Pack
ards pay rolls for 18 years. He
now works as a motor repair
man on aircraft engines. His
suggestion changes testing pro-
cedure on the Rolls engine
crahkcaSe, preventing costly
teardowns.
That valuable ideas come not
only from veterans is shown by
the fact that John H. Findlater
less than year with Packard
and but recently out of high
school, discovered a process that
increases the life of a valuable
cutting tool 400 per cent and at
a cost only 25 cents. Cutting
tools are at a premium and
plants are spending many times
the value OF one of the tools TO
keep it in operation.
The fact that 1T worker sHe-
gestionS have been adopted by
Packard is hailed by President
Christopher as great achieve
ment.
Ask any shop operator and
he'll tell you that III accept
