HIGHLIGHTS OF AUTOMOTIVE WORLD FOR THE WEEK

AUTO INDUSTRY PROVIDES JOBS FOR 5,000,000 D. S. Eddins, President of Plymouth, Explains Magnitude. Tirrr ftp re in l NEW YORK, Nov, 13.—"Most Americans think of Detroit as the ‘motor capital’ of the country, but the whole nation actually contributes to the modern motor car,” D S. Eddins, president of the Plymouth Motor Corp, said recently at the National Automobile Show here. He was discussing the reasons for the motor car industry's importance in leading national business recovery. "The business of making, selling and servicing motor transportation absorbs more than 5.000,000 men and women workers,” Mr. Eddins said "One out of every six American workers derives his daily bread, either directly or indirectly, from the automobile industry. Aids Prosperity "Behind that fact lies the reason for the motor car industry's importance as a vital force in leading the United States back to prosperity. “Industrial cities and farming communities alike share in the fortunes of the motor car industry. Millions of workers in all walks of life, miners in lead, zinc and copper; cotton pickers in the South; shepherds in the West, and industrial workers in scores of cities owp a big part of their income to this one industry. "The amount of raw' material and finished car parts necessary to keen automobile assembly lines going staggers the imagination. In one year the industry uses between four and five million tons of steel and a quarter million tons of malleable iron. Automobile factories absorb 350,000 tons of rubber, 12,000 ton., of aluminum, 81.000 tons of copper and more than 66.000,000 square feet of plate glass. One of every 10 bales of cotton and 4,000,000 pounds f mohair go into new motor cars in a year. Various Materials Used "A breakdown of the amount of material that goes into one new' car provides an insight into what the industry as a w'hole demands of other industries. A low-price ( r such as the new 1936 Plymouth has 1700 pounds of steel and 500 pounds of malleable iron in the body, engine and chassis. A single Plymouth also requires 70 pounds of safety glass for the windshield, windows and doors; 160 pounds of rubber for tires, tubes, "floating power” engine mountings and body cushion shims; 60 pounds of copper for babbitt bearings and other parts; 20 pounds of aluminum for pistons; 70 pounds of cotton and 15 pounds of w’ool in ihe upholstery. "These materials and others of lesser quantities too numerous to mention go into each new Plymouth. When it, is realized that we are equipped to turn these cars off the assembly lines of our main plants in Detroit at the rate of three a minute, some notion can be gained of the volume of materials needed in a single year. Plyomuth uses more than 680,000.000 pounds of steel, 64.000,000 pounds of rubber and 28,000,000 pounds of glass during a year.” Monoxide Reduced The carbon monoxide in exhaust gas is reduced from 40 per cent, to 2 per cent by means of a fuel vaporizer that is attached between the carbureator and the intake manifold. This device is filled with a porous chemical mixture which minimizes the fatal properties of the exhaust gas. Why Batteries Fail Corrosion at connections, loose connections, low water level in cells, and discharged battery condition contribute to the failure of batteries. Noise Causes Loose hold-down bolts are the source of nearly all body squeaks and rattles, so it is a wise plan to tighten these once a month. Brake Lining Speeded A stretcher that opens the shoe to the required extent now makes the job of relining automobile brakes much easier. Car Runs Under Horse A tiny one-passenger car, equipped with a one-horse power motor, is being placed on the market in England. It is so small that it can be run under a horse.

New Gasoline Developed to Speed .‘Warming Up’

Product of Standard Oil Suited to Tcmparture of 30 Below Zero. Since motorists no longer put their cars away for the w'inter, one | of their big problems has been to i get gasoline that would start a cold engine before the driver's temper began to boil and then to keep the engine running until it became really warmed up. Standard Oil engineers are jubilant at this season over anew product W'hich they say shows marked progress in both respects. It will start a properly operated engine which is in reasonably good condition at any temperature down to 30 below zero far more quickly than previously, they declare. Further, it reduces the period in which the engine may be expected to cough, puff and buck before it takes hold definitely. At mean minimum temperature of 20 degrees above zero this new' winter gasoline has the same warming up characteristics that a good grade of seasonal gasoline has at mean minimum summer temperatures. The improvement in warming up time is, of course, a decided advantage to motorists when temperatures go below' 20 degrees Fahrenheit. "This improvement in winter performance Is achieved by a strengthening of the front-end volatility of | gasoline.” explains Dr. D. P. BarI nard, one of the leading motor fuel authorities of the country. "A simple explanation will illustrate. When we build a grate fire we put paper in first, then some kindling to catch from the paper

and warm up the wood or coal, and then some heavy fuel. By achieving a better front-end volatility, our manufacturers have given us the paper to flash at once into fire and the kindling to keep the fire going until everything is w'armed up and the heavy ends of the motor fuel are being efficiently used. "Sure fire starting and quick warm-up mean much, both in economy of time and fuel and in safe driving. "A car is not really properly controllable until the warm-up period is over. There are also times when good throttle control and acceleration are as important as good brakes. We are making good progress in this respect. In 1926 an average car traveling 25 miles an hour in a temperature of 20 degrees above zero would have to cover 17.2 blocks or about two miles before the engine would be humming properly.

PRODUCTION AT PEAK FORECAST BY CHEVROLET Dealers' Reports Indicate Demand Will Keep Plants Busy. Capacity production of the recently announced new' 1936 Chevrolets throughout the rest of the year is forecast by reports from dealers all over the country to the effect that sales on announcement day, Nov. 2, broke all records in Chevrolet history. The same enthusiastic public response w T as evident at the New York Automobile Show, according to word received in Indianapolis by E. W. Berger, Chevrolet zone manager, from W. E. Holler, vice president ar.i general sales manager of the Chevrolet Motor Cos., who, w'ith other executives of the company, is attending the annual exhibit there. Chevrolet displayed its new product both in Grand Central Palace and at a special General Motors showing in the Waldorf-Astoria. "Output will have to be maintained around 100,000 units a month to keep pace with the demand that is evident,” said Mr. Holler, "We had more than 60,000 cars in the hands of our 10,000 dealers on announcement day, but orders taken so far have greatly exceeded the supply. We shall be able to make prompt deliveries, however, for we were in full production before the cars were announced, and they are rolling off the assembly lines at a faster rate than ever before at this season.” In the Master deluxe line, the restyling of the body with its new streamlined front end treatment, and the perfected hydraulic brakes, seem to have created the liveliest enthusiasm among dealers and pub-

lic alike, Mr. Holler reported. In the Standard series, a completely restyled Fisher body with solid steel turret top seems to have captured the public fancy more completely than any other single thing. The fact that a full line of body styles is now available in this lowest price range is also making a hit. "The statement that we are delighted at the outlook requires no qualification,” said Mr. Holler. ‘‘Viewed from any angle, the situation is highly promising. We introduced these new cars in the conviction that they were the finest we had ever offered. Now we have the satisfaction of learning that the public takes the same view.” Steel Wool Cleans Steel wool has many uses around a garage for cleaning parts where the abrasive dust from emery cloth or sandpaper might prove injurious.
