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
