Nearly two hundred years ago "Benjamin Franklin wrote the famous lines about how a kingdom was lost . . because a battle was lost . . . because a rider was lost . . . because his horse was lost . . because a shoe was lost . . . and all for want of a nail. We keep thinking of those lines whenever we're asked what's hold ing up production of the new Chev rolet cars. You see, it requires more than 8,000 parts to build an automobile, and if a shortage of material prevents production of just one of these parts, then pro duction of the entire car is halted. For want of a nail? Yes, It's almost literally that. Of the 8,000 parts in a Chevrolet, about 2,500 of these are nuts and bolts alone! The production men at Chevrolet tell us that nuts and bolts are hard to obtain just now, and are shipped by special planes to as sembly plants all over the country whenever a source for these vital parts is found. At ten o'clock one morning it was learned that Fisher Body plants at Kansas City and St. Louis would be forced to shut down the following morning if a supply of window channels was not available by seven a m. These parts were at a plant in Amesbury, Massachusetts, and none of the passenger airliners had doors big enough to admit the long channels. Arrangements were finally made for a C-47 cargo plane to fly from Chicago to Boston to pick up the channels trucked there from Ames - bury. The 8,000 pounds of chan nels were then flown to Kansas City and St. Louis, and Chevrolet bodies continued to move out of the plants. Hoods have been flown from Flint to Kansas City; fenders from St. Louis to California. These dally air-cargo shipments are a part of the vast Chevrolet plan to move parts, 'the minute they are avail able, into plants where shortages exist ? to move them there fast, so that those plants can keep oper ating. Another ingenious step taken to help beat the materials shortages was at a Chevrolet foundry in Saginaw. Pig iron was low, a sched uled shipment had not arrived, and a shut-down seemed certain. Then someone suggested exploring the river bottom with an electromagnet, near the docks where pig iron had been unloaded for many years,. Seventy tons of iron were brought up, enough to keep the plant run ning until the late shipment ar rived. Chevrolet wants you to receive delivery of your new Chevrolet complete. The men who build your cars refuse to relax Chevrolet's high standards by allowing cars to come off the assembly line without bumpers or seats ? and of course cars can't be built at all unless materials are available to produce vital parts. Chevrolet often has to hold up production entire ly because some tiny part cannot be obtained. Even so, you can see that Chev rolet Is doing everything possible to speed delivery of the new Chevrolet for which you have waited so patiently. It you have had to wait, It is because Chevrolet, too, has had to wait all for want, perhaps, of a nail. CHEVROLET BURRELL MOTOR COMPANY Phone 123 ? - ? Franklin, N. C.
