Detroih Dec. 16.—Production of an amphibious truck — popularly 1 knpwJV/Ys the “duck”—is now im- der way at ^Chevrolet’s Sjt. Louis fMo.) plant, according to an an nouncement made here today by M. E. Qoy^e, general manger of the Chevrolet Motor Division anjd vice-president of General Motors. Since the beginning of the war, Chevrolet has had important participation . in the 6x6 (s^c wheels, all driving, as distinguish 'd from the regular commercial ruck which is driyeji. oply by the rear wheels), 2 i-2-toh truck pro gram of the General Motois Tfuek & Coach Division. Chevrolet’ has supplied all heet metal, a majority of axles and transfer cases, a substantial number of motors and has assem bled and shipped an important part of the schedule of these ve hicles. The “duck” is essentially a 6x6 truck assembled into a sea-going j hull. It can onerate as a truck cn land or as.a boat afloat; it can disembark from a landing craft, proceed to the beach, and convey its men and materials right up on shore, thereafter serving ns a truck. Participation by Chevrolet in the 6x6 program in the past two -cars permitted a rapid conver- ion to the assembly of this ve hicle. The St. Louis plant will continue to assemble the same quantity of the regular 6x6 trucks, uperimposing the “duck” sched- Ic on the previous program. Production was started early in December, Coyle said, and Will be rapidly accelerated to meet army requirements of the oew iob. one of the most in genious wheeled vehicles of this V . 0 T*. Chovrol'd. n’ants in Eay City; n-'~m'V7T. Flint, Detroit, Toledo and Indiana polls also have an important part in this program. _ X South Carolina- farmers pay too much for tho com they grow ‘at an' average yield of 11 • bushels per acic. • • ■
