THE BODY OF THE CAR TAKES SHAPE
This remarkable machine is a mechanical carpenter. The wood is
fed into it and is automatically sawn to the required size and shape.
It is possible for eighteen different cuts to be made in one operation.
The body of the car now begins to take shape. The wooden frame
and the steel panels are brought together in a construction called a jig,
which holds the parts in place while they are united.

MAKING CUSHIONS AND SMOOTHING PAINT
A large department of the factory is devoted to making the car comfortable
to ride in. Here we see the cushions and interior coverings being
made.
The bodies receive numerous coats of paint, and the flat finish, which
is necessary before the final coat is applied, is secured by skilled workers
who rubbed down the primary coats with very fine glass-paper and a flow
of water.
