Do you speak sideways, above, be . low, or six inches away from the trans mitter of your telephone? ~ ----- ^ You should talk directly into the transmitter ? not simply at it. Keep your lips about one inch from the mouthpiece. Speak in an even tone. It is not neces sary to shout. * There is much that can be said about the proper way to telephone, but these little rules will help.

UIGGK8T A1T0M0BILK SHOP f Produces 3000 Cm* H Day, Employs Over 30.000 Workmen, v ' I I M iienerally, when speaking of the Ford Motor company as uii Industry tho average persoi r just Imagine* a large plant, a large number of em ployees, a lot of machinery aud tool* ? ami the (Inched oar. Little at- ( tvn*pt In made to grasp the magni tude of the organisation that employ# an Immense anny of men and women and o|>e rates a seemingly voiuatleaa nunHter of machine# of every charac ter and dcNcrlptlon. To produce 3,000' cars la a alugle day Ik an undertaking and an accom plishment far beyond the average con ception. ICmployees must 1k> organ Iced and machinery run as one big unit The Highland Park factory occu pies a plot of ground that consists of 305 acre#. There are 8S..32 acres of floor s|muv actually under roof. Over <111,000 men are employed In this plant and their wages total around $4,500,000 l*r montfy This Is ex clusive of the oflloe employes, who number about 1)50 and whose salary roll Is alK)ut $115,000 monthly; not Including executives and department managers. Working in conjunction with the parent plant are 30 branches and as sembly plants, occupying a space of 7,178,340 aqua re feet, or 104 acres In these plants alono over 10,000 men are employed. i During the dast flacal year 785, 432 cars were built and sold. Think of the material required to make this ? Jft Immenso production i>osslhle, tlie steady stream in which the raw stock must flow into the factory ; the prob lem of handling it^ifter It Is received; tire accuracy of checking It to the right departments and the dispatch with which It must move. Harmony must exist throughout. < Hased on an output of 700.000 cars, the following figures give yon some idea of The material used : Three hundred aud twenty -Ave tona steel, 08,000,000 aqua re ifeot of top material, 2,800,000 each of wheels and tires, 3,500,000 lamps, 12,775,000 feet of vanadium steel shafting and aglcH, 3,970,000 square feet plate glpss for windshields, 88,010,889 feet of copper tubing for radiators, 9,800,000 pounds of steel for magnetos, 24,791 miles wiring for magnetos. 0,300,000 square feet galvanized metal for gasoline tanks, 59,458,000 square feet sheet met-, al for guards and fenders, 22,471,080 feet tubular radius rods. This year the production schedule calls for 900,000 cars. During the month of September 74,008 cars were built, and the following month October 79,075 ears were manufactured. Pre vious records show 83,700 for May, 1917, and 3.490 for one day, July 22, 1017. . To distribute this enormous num ber of cars is another complex pro blem which has been successfully solv ed by the Ford Motor company. The thirty-nine direct branch houses and assembly plants are placed at strategi cal points throughout the country, while under the jurisdiction of these branches there" are orer 9,000 Ford agencies. The different parts of the car are manufactured at the home plant and then shipped to the assembly plants where they arc assembled Into the finished car. In this way the prob lem of transportation is successfully combated, and congestion relieved to a great extent. It took 125,851 freight cars to handle material and move the production for last year. This ap IHMtrs almost incredibly but every thing in the great Ford factory has risen to this point without overlook ing economy in, the smallest degree. . In going through the machine shop of the great plant, the visitor stops agape and marvels at the hundreds and hundreds of machines with the thousands of belts spinning before the vision as his eyes scan the surround ing space. Then the wonderment penetrates deeper when thought is given to the driving power these machines demand. Where is the source of power to keep this collossal number of belts and , wheels in motion from midnight each Sunday to the midnight of the follow ing Saturday without cessation. To furnish this motive power of Inconceivable vastness, it requires the driving energy of nine composite gas steam type engines which develop a 154,000 combined horse power. These engines are located In the big power building, which is 150 feet wide by 400 feet in length, the distance from the ground to the top of the smoke stacks is 300 feet. In the construct' ion of the power plant 5,200 tons of structual steel were required. This is equivalent to the amount used in erecting a twenty story skyscraper. Each engine weighs approximately 1,700,000 pounds, has a stroke of 72 inehes. The steam units weigh 700, 000 pounds, and the gas unit 000,000 together with generator and fly-wheel of 200,000 pounds each. The orer-all measurement of each engine it 82 feet lu width mid 72 fret in length. They each occupy a floor space of 2.2UM atquare fret. The dealgu anil tie tail of these engines originated Willi Mr. Ford and were carried out W Ford engineers under hi* direct In xt ructions. >?<. ' 4 ' The mi 1 consumption In producing gas uud steum for the engine* Is only ,'to tons |>er hour, which speak* well , for ellioloncy. In addition to the steam 42,700,000 cubic foet of produc er gas In consumed; dally. Added to this there is 2,400,000 cubic fret of ga? used for various other purpose*, which bring the consumption of gas up to *15,100,000 cubic feet per day. In every pha*c the mechanical ef ttclcitcy is wonderful. Hut to muln taln this ettlcicucy the human element is the most vital factor. The whole Ford organ isation works with watch-like precUron as one big robust family. Every man doing his respective duty with a cheerfulness and alert news that Is decidedly no ticeable. From the administration building on Woodard avenue, to the freight yard ollleo In the distant rear, (here Is over present that spirit and smooth-miming routine that makes the Ford Motor company the master of Its Industry.
