CITY INDUSTRIAL NEWS OF THE WEEK

STOKOL PARTS ASSEMBLED AS IN AUTO PLANT Stoker Production Is Near Fifty Units at City Factory. With production numbering around fifty units a day, the Schwit-z.ir-Cummins Company, 1125 East Tenth street, manufacturers of I Stokols. is able through the use I of an efficient assembly line to sell thr stokers to the public at a rela- ! lively low price. Resembling the production line of an automobile plant, there are two different lines, one for the driving mechanism, and the other for the oodv parts, including the coal ; hopper. Having more than eighteen years lof development behind it, the company has built two addition: to the plant to take care of assembly. Recently anew model stoker was added to accommodate the small home or bungalow. Practically ail the raw materials are fabricated in the SchwitzerCummins plant, and in the case of the control mechanism this vital part of the stoker is sent to the silent” room for a final check-up and adjustment. Tool Room Added Another addition is the tool room, and close by is the machining and drill press department for the fabrication of blower fans for air conditioning equipment. From here the fans, which are manufactured for many large automotive builders, are sent to the enameling department me the baking room for heat treating. The company has all materials stamped w r here they are most convenient to handle, and production is such that when the Stokol business is heavy, the automotive equipment business is lower Strangely enough, May, July and August are good months for the stoker business. The stoker nas a hydraulicallyvniven feed screw of the worm type, thus eliminating smoke and resulting in higher efficiency. Nine sizes of the stoker are manufactured and are in use in Alaska and foreign countries. In the shipping room all assembled products are carefully crated, weighed, and tagged, so they will be received by the customer in first class condition. Makes Research The Schwitzer-Cummins Company maintained a laboratory in w hich is a complete engineering department for extensive research in : all fields.

purpose of the firm to see that every customer s needs are filled to the customer’s greatest satisfaction. Many times we could have made more money by substituting an inferior grade of coal to customers, especially the one order type, but we believe that particularly in the coal business, ethics should count even more than in some other type businesses where the average customer probably knows more or is better able to compare the product. “We have found though that fair dealing has profited us and today we are still serving many of our initial customers of fourteen years ago as well as an ever-increasing large group of domestic and commercial users, and also we have steadily increased our stoker coal business.” The firm’s yards are also equipped with three electrically driven loading conveyors which load three tons a minute.

LAMP OFFERED FOR CHILD'S USE Intended to Eliminate Eye Damage: Meter Test Given. The home lighting department of the Indianapolis Power and Light Company is one of its most effective groups. This department employs a corps of highly trained women who call on housewives throughout the city and explain to them how they may better the lighting of homes. At present, these women are emphasizing a proper study lamp for the child. They are showing how harmful a small lamp meant only for ornamental purposes, and in no way intended for the lighting of the study table, can be. Perhaps these unsuitable lamps have dark lining in the shades, and through the ure of a sight meter it is showing how these dark shades absorb the light, thus robbing the reader of the amount of light necessary for easy reading. This particular study lamp is the result of years of scientific research, and is everywhere indorsed by eye specialists, who acclaim it to be the best study lamp yet offered. Before a manufacturer may market this lamp it must be approved by the Illuminating Engineers So-
