Millions of Masterpieces

degree of quality and the same ability to meet with maximum performance the purpose of a finished part due to which it will be fabricated but quality mass production is dependent on more than quality materials alone it takes the finest machines in the world products of Ingenuity and know-how these are the master Dives which turn out in a single tremendous blow completed Parts accurate and exact to a fraction of a thousandth of an inch which repeats this miracle of production thousands of times every day from other Master patterns whole batteries of power presses Stamp Out precisely form door panels and top sections multi-drills Precision machines for the six cylinder in a single operation and the cylinders are home to mathematical trueness and polish in a matter of seconds rough forged axles thousands of axles each day are formed from the toughest and strongest alloys Precision Machining operations make each axle of carbon nickel Chrome alloy exactly like every other with instruments of precision and quality control science has strengthened the eye the hand of the skilled Craftsman to help him judge the quality of his work gauges used in the mass duplication of the finest motor cars are accurate in measurements to the fraction of a thickness of a human hair inspection never ceases the constant checking and double checking goes on gears are checked against Master gears to detect the slightest deviation in the pitch or angle of the gear teeth x-ray machines look for hidden flaws deep within the steel hearts of a seemingly perfect crankshaft each new engine is first driven electrically and lubricating oil is forced into every part of the engine then the oil pan is removed so bearings and other moving Parts can be rigidly inspected finally the engine receives tests under its own power to make certain it matches the Perfection demanded by engine standards but quality mass production needs even more than machines and instruments and inspection the quality mass production demands people people who are trained skillful and alert thousands of people but beyond the man machines and instruments of production give the job of putting all the parts together it takes timing to swing a box girder frame onto a moving line it takes timing and system to get the chassis parts where they're needed when they're needed and on the engine assembly line Split Second timing keeps the transmission the fuel pump the carburetor and Generator moving in faultless assembly order One locking into the other precision timing brings the engine to the main assembly line a second after the last bolt has been tightened and inspected on the chassis the schedule and delivery of more than fifteen thousand separate parts to the line is no simple matter production know-how implemented by systems of control gets every part from the stockpiles and storage bins to the line the parts arrive on the line with timetable precision at just the right moments a body of a particular color to match the wheels is swung out of a chassis on a feeder line the front fenders assembly to match is moving up in an exact predetermined spot in that feeder line with parade ground Precision the fender line swings abreast the main assembly line but what about interior trim and upholstery to match on another feeder line front and rear seats upholstered in complementary tones were on their way long ago they arrived on the main line on time when they were needed it was planned that way weeks and months in advance car after car moves down the line each car a masterpiece of 15 000 individual parts and rigid inspection still continues to make certain that the completed cars are as perfect as men and machines can make them each car is driven off the line for a test run before it's allowed to leave the plant fifteen thousand individual Parts operating as a single smooth running unit men and machines have multiplied fifteen thousand Parts by a thousand times a thousand into a smooth flowing Symphony of comfort beauty of line the durability and safety the economical performance that means the Masterpiece or Millions [Music] thank you [Music] thank you [Music] foreign [Music]
