How To Use The
TELEPHONE
Did it ever occur to you that you
might not be using the telephone in the
right way?
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.

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.
