k) 4 | CONSIDER FALTIRY ~ WHEN BUYING AR X You Do, Buicks Wil Stand ; Aop the List . One of the vital matters which a prospective purchaser should con- sider when buying & car is the fac- tory behind the product. The birth ‘ef the Buick cocurred in 1903 when the tactery was started st Flint, The first Buick was sold in 1904 te a Dr. Hills of Flint. The firet years of Bulck progress was gradual and in 1907 approximately 5,000 cars were manufactured. From 1907 to 1911 a great amount of progress was noted due to better production methods, and the stand- srdization of raw materials. Since that time production has mounted with rapid strides until today Buick is bullding from 250,000 to 275,000 ears yearly. “The Buick Motor Company is one of the most marvelous factories in the werld. Imagine, if you can, & city within a city covering an area of 303 acreg and you have a mind pieture of what the word Buick mmeans n terms of the factory be. hind the car. Included in this vast ares sre more than 75 buildings, each building managed separately and tunctioning as & unit under & ot schedule and producing ene part or maybs a seriea of allied parts, to- wards the final product. One of Buick's single plants, the great mo- tor factery, having a floor apace of 363,741 square feet, is larger than many of Buick's competitors’ entire plant layeut. The drop forge plant; 19 wuperier to anything that the HRYSLER exhibits here a this week —offering sen- sational new values—are the center of attrattion for those who are interested in modern motor car trends. The public, apparendy con- wvinced by constant proofs of | very easy to operate requiring but | world can boast. The three assem- bly lines are marvels of human in- genuity, each being 1,066 feet long. Parts for the Buick are brought to these assembly lines by means of huge conveyors of which there are 138 scattered througheut the fac- tory. The most interesting conveyor is the one used iIn taking motors from the final testing building te the assembly line. The total length of this conveyor is approximately $,- 500 feet. It has a capacity of $40 metors, weighing abeut 230 tons. These metors are delivered to the assembly line at the rate of 150 an hour, At the present time the Buick factory is employing over 23,0000 men. Eight years age Buick manu- factured 140,000 cars & year and now they are bullding over 360,000, The valve-in-head Bulek engine is the result of twenty-five years of consistent menufacturing practice, David D.

A whole plant specializes on this one unit. The gears are cut and burnished to & state of perfection by men who have specialized for over a decade on Buick transmission eenstruction. One of the salient features of Bulck construetion is the torque tube drive. This takes the twisting strains of the axle and also driving power from the rear wheels is trans- mitted through the torque tube te the frame—not through the springs to the frame.
