The American _Bosch ‘Mamleto Cor-
Komtion has takén over the _entire
oldings and organ*zation of the old
company, lnuluding the great Bosch
works at S&;‘tngflel , Mass,, which com
prises 254,000 square feet in buildings
alone and employg 1,500 operatives:
also the complete service and selling
system throughout the United States.
and the entire ownership of all the
United States and foreign patents and
trade-marks under which the old com
pany operated. Ever since the alien
property custodian seized the company
in May of 1918, the large plant was
ogerated to supply, up to practically
100 per cent of its capacity, the needs
of various departmetns of the United
States Government in the prosecution
of the war. That large output will now
be devoted without interruption to the
requirements of the American manu
facturers and public. In _adidtien, the
American Bosch Magneto Corporation
plans te greatly extend its scope of
manufacture in the field of automotive
mdustry.
From an early date, the Bosch er
neto Company manufactured electrical
products of unusually high quality for
the automobile and allied fields, inelud
ing ignition devices such as magnetos
and batery ' systems, lighting genera
torg, ete. lln fact, thé first Bosch muT
neto dates back to 1886, although this
form of ignition was not adonted hy
American manufacturers of automobiles
until 1905. In the following year, Rob
ert Bosch opened a New York office -
and in 1908 a four-story building was
acquired to meet the demands of the
products then made. It is said that
about 350 workmen produced eight to
ten thousand magnetos aymonth at that
time. The next igiportant step in the
growth of the Blm(%) Magneta Company,
the title un&er whieh the German con
eern operat in the United States, was
taken in 1911, when ground was broken
in Springfleld, Mass., for what is now
recognized as the most modern and
well-ordered factory in the motor In
dustry. .
In January, 1912, the extensive
Bpringfleld works were completed, only
to be found teo small by 1914, when
more than one-quarter of & million
magnetos wer turned out. According
ly, the Rushmore Dyname Works was
purchaged to increaseé the production of
starting and lighting apparatus Bx
pansion gtill continuefl Early in the
fall of 1815, ground was again broken
at Springfield for an adidtion of over
60,000 square feet to the main works

Japan Has New Law

On Motor Subsidiary
A new act just passed by the Japaneso
Diet, known as the Military Motor Vehicle

suitable for military use, capable of ecar

origin. Pending greater production of
Japanese vehicies, however, owners of
cars of foreign manufacture are allowed
within the subsidy scheme.

NATIONAL CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE HOLD
IMPORTANT SESSION
Today’s meeting of the board of di
rectors of the National Automobile
Chambers ofCommerce extended an in
vitation to C. C, Hanch, chief of the
automotive zoducu section of the
war industries board, to visit the Eu
ropean pountries to investigate auto
mobile conditions in connection with
the export trade of American manu
facturers. Wixln in Paris he will at-.
tend the inter-Allied meeting called
by the Chambre Syndicals des Con
structures d'Automobiles as the rep
resentative of the automobile indus
try, to discuss custom rates, shows
and other matters of international
importance. Representatives of Enge
lung, Italy and Belgium will also at
tend. .
The traflic committee’'s report
showed that the automobile industry
is slowly getting back into produc
tion, although carload shipments for
December were only 8,210, as com
pared with 15,827 carloads in De
cember, 1917, N, A. C, C. traffic offi
cials reported on their meeting with
the packing service branch of the
War Department, which is developing
new methods of loading automobiles
in freight cars, to permit the easier
handitng of vehicles with economy of
space. The packing service branch
is establishing specifications for Ewk
ing and loading articles of all kinds,
and the industry will co-operate with
it in handling automobiles.
The meeting discussed the guestion
of lockm devices, with a view to
giving ed nte%lw motorists from
car stealing, whi is becoming so
prevalent. A complete investigation
will be made and reports given to au
tomobile manufacturers.
New gtandards for tires were con
sidered, the plan calling for a contin
uance of the making of tires for all
rims now in use, but providing that
after January 1, 1920, the manufac
tirers will equip their ears with cer
tain sizes that are being considered.
Pneumatic sizes will run from 30 by
'3l-2 inches to 35 by 5 ipches for pas
senger cars, and for trucks 36 by 6
inches ‘o 40 by 8 inches. Truck sizes
call for fifteen sizes of soild tires.
The whole program is expected to
'make for greater efficiency in manu
facturing and the certainty of deal
ers’ stocks being complete without
being too heavy.
It is reported that Canada has vir
tually raised the Bmbargo on the im-
\
The part of the automobile industry
in the winning of the wnar i a record ot
'u(-hiev«ment unparalleled in the unnw
of American business, A more loydl,
patriotic group of men in business ecan
not be foumd than the automobile mak
ers and thelr dealers. Not a call came
during those dark days of strife but
they answered, wllllm(:iy and / gladly.
They were wholg-heartedly back of the
Government in everything, giving time,
money, cars and men for Government
work, and they gamely fought their way
through the days when rumors were rife
and when public confidence and busi
ness conditions seemed shaken and
now comes the definite assurance that
the tests of war have praved the effi
ciency of the autemobile and its impors
tance to the life and business of the
‘world in general, Where there may have
been duu%l there is now clear under
standing. The public has been im
pressed with the solid foundation upon
which the ipndustry rests and the truly
remarkable engineering genius back ol
the modern automabile.
In discussing the problems of recon
struction, and their effect upon the au
tomobile industry, A. R, Erskine, presi
dent of the Studebaker Corporation, tn
a recent issue of Vanity Fair sald:
“The improvements and developments
in airplane motors are in some degree
applicable to automobile engines and
these improvements no doubt will be
adopted generally by American manu- |
facturers. The Improvements are prm
clfpul]y in smoother operation, radurlionf
of vibration, and, therefore, greater
euonomy in gasoline consumption and
longer life, all told amounting te pers
haps 10 or 15 per cent improvement. Air
plane motors are necessarily light In
weight and very expensive to manufac
ture, The Liberty motor weighs less
than two pounds per horsepower devel
oped, and cost the Government $4,000
each, which indieates that a similarly
designed engine of less size and g‘.nmw
adaptable for automebiles, would be too
expensive to justify any advantages in
efficiency it might have over the apdi
nary automobile engine,
"’}‘he business outlook of leading man ]
ufacturers is undoubtedly very great
both domesgtic and export, and the re-|
sources of these manufacturers will be
fully occupied in taking care of this
business ag soon as they ean obtain raw
materials (nnd resume normal produc
tion."”

“Profitable Farm Hauling With Motor
Trueks™ is the business-like title of the
latest addition to motor truek trade
literature, just issued by the Goodgur

In this booklet is interestingly por

of the motor truck to the solution of
