dlylaipn of thecwna theeiditbr gn a recent aftcvnoorv through courtesy of local dealer jim taylor if was our privilege to visit the mas- seyharris combine plant and- the beautiful new show room and office building in the king street district in toronto which could well be known us masaeyharris town so completely does this gigantic world industry dominate the scene a 2000000 building covering 270000 square feet of floor space housing a modern automobiletype assembly line is the masseyharris answer to the farmers of the world who in recent years have created a demand for modern power machinery this demand has been particularly focussed on the selfpropelled combine developed by the company just prior to the outbreak of war with the exception of an old fourstorey concrete building which has been incor porated into the new layout the building is entirely on one floor with washrooms showers and lockers located on a number of mezzanine floors j the assembjy line method qf production is par ticularly pleasnt for a layman on visiting a plant for it enables him to gain a knowledge pf production which would be unobtainable were he not to see production in its proper sequence from station no i where com pletely welded frames are rolled on dollies to their pos ition for installation of axles and motor mounting brackets to the freightloading platform where an over head crane deposits combines on flat cars for shipment the visitor is never at a loss to understand what is going on at station 2 wheels and motor are the most im portant additions and from this point on each machine travels forward on its own wheels motive power is supplied by a continuous chain conveyor adjustable for either continuous or intermittent operation speeds for continuous operation vary from 9 inches to 3 feet of travel per minute normal stopandstart opera tion moves the line normally at the rate of 30 feet a minute when used this way each station on the line flashes a light indicating that assembly at that point has been completed when all lights have been turned on a warning horn sounds and the line moves forward to bring each machine to its next assembly point production on the day of our visit was proceeding at a rather leisurely pace the company being handicap ped at present by steel shortages which fprced cutting an hour off the working day and running at a mini mum speed a modern paint department is an integral part of the assembly and is equipped with a monorail sys tem for speedy handling after being mimersed in a dipping tank loads are gravity fed toward the drying oven where progress is controlled by an electric eye which spaces the loads and prevents jamming final painting of the complete machine is done in two spray c booths just beyond the final station on the assembly line and the machines are driven to it under their own power a water wash system and high velocity suction fans carry away excess spray and fumes arid it is inter esting to note that paint is salvaged later from this wa- ter spray to be used in future painting in the drying oven fired by gas burners a temperature of 1 80200 degreea is maintained by infrared rays for radiation and a 20minute trip through the drying oven corn- pieties the production of the combine machines destined for canadian and american markets go from here directly to the flat cars while those scheduled for overseas are routed to the packing department where they are dismantled and crated one complete machine in one crate the cost of equipment in the plant is prominent ly displayed by a sign over each machine and a small idea of the companys investment is obtained when one realizes that for a simple holecutting operation the label on a huge punch press reads 38000 vacations are here the holiday period begins in earnest this week with many local firms taking advantage of the thurs day dominion day- to shut up shop till monday and give employees a long holiday

having a natural tieup with the day we are still wondering how many ticket buyers thought they were buying a ticket on frank murfins car which was decorated with banners and display posters members of the lome scots band were disap- pointed not so much at being beaten by the london tech band as by taking third place to brantford being no music critic we can take no stand in the matter but it is impossible for every band to win and we suppose adjudicators are not always right or sometimes place an interpretation on performance which does not meet with general approval the fact remains that our band was judged better than two other city bands which is still no mean achievement and we congratulate them oh a good showing page 8 we st this week that virginia chapman who hns been attending
