Determined to set an efficiency
standard for civilian war contrac-
tors to shoot at, the Army expects
to tear down, overhaul and rebuild
here this month at least 2,00C
engines ranging from 1,500 to 2,000
horsepower and capable of a per-
formance equal to, If not SURPRISING
that of new products.
This would be accomplished with
less than 1000 direct workers.
Big radial and water-cooled mo-
tors arrive here in every state OF
disrepair. Some have been hit by
machine-gun bullets or shell frag-
ments, others have fallen in flames
or plunged into salt water or desert
sands. Still others have merely
served out their time and must be
overhauled.
Get Thorough Cleaning.
On arrival, the motors are sub
jected to a high-pressure spray to
clean them before they are placed
on a moving line.
Workmen strip various parts from
them as they pass until the motors
are reduced to collection of some
$500 separate parts. The parts are
cleaned further in chemical baths
or by nd-blasting or buffing before
they are inspected.
The finest precision instruments
known to modern science help the
inspectors spot minute imperfec-
tions. Testing of the elaborate car
buretors, for example, is science
in itself.
When the parts move on to the
final assembly line every one Is per-

The first motors to 60 on the vari-

Farmers and Wives
Now Harness Power

HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. 20.-The
season for county fairs is at hand
but here in Pennsylvania's huge
Farm Show Building they're har-
Messing up horsepower instead OF
horses this fall.
Many farmers who used to jam
one of the country's leading live
stock exhibits have returned for the
duration to help the Army Air
Forces hook up the rough equiva-
lent of 10 times 10000 horses a day
They have learned with speed
which would have seemed impos-
sible before the war to tear down
rework and rebuild aircraft motors
on an assembly line basis. Former
farmhands are hooking up 2,00C
horsepower motors with cable har-
nesses, and neat housewives have
become accustomed to handling
cosmolene instead of biscuit dough

The old silos still stand in cor
ners of the huge show building, but
acres of floor space once occupied
by stalls for farm stock and booths
for farm machinery are filled with
