DEARBORN, Mich.—With greater speed and manufacturing perfection essential these days to national de fense production, the' Ford Motor Company has just taken another hag step toward faster action on its de fense work. A new 400,000-volt X-ray machine (upper photo) has been installed at the Rouge plant automotive laboratory to locate quickly any possible flaws in heavy steel castings. Once restricted to the field " of medicine, the X-ray was adopted by industry a few years ago when a 100,000-volt machine was built that could penetrate steel. In 1931 Ford, one of the first big industries to make use of it, installed a 250,000- volt X-ray outfit which remained in service until the new 400,000-volt apparatus succeeded it recently. The new machine penetrates several inches of steel Where the old apparatus required two to six hours to make an X-ray exposure of a heavy cast steel part, the new machine does the same chore in a few minutes, according to Ford engineers. Translated into terms of production and manufac turing perfection, this X-ray ma chine is expected to greatly facilitate Ford’s work on $700,000,000 in de fense contracts. Tn the upper photo, a laboratory worker is shown placing a cast steel crankshaft for the Ford experimen tal aircraft engine into place under the giant 400,000-volt X-ray tube. The X-ray room is entirely sheathed by a thick protective layer of lead covering walls and ceiling. The lower photo shows a labora tory technician studying an X-ray negative of a crankshaft Tell-tale shadows reveal any flaws in the in ternal structure of metal
