They were engaged in producing all classes of vehicles, where competition was intense, profits very small, and success depended on absolute efficiency in all factory methods. They realised that the same conditions would apply in the building of motor-cars, so they started sonio fourteen years ago to prepare for it- «. Jonn W. Bate was then, as now, the leading Efficiency Engineer; so the factory decided he was the man they wanted. Mr. Bate insisted on one model plant, every machine and process being adopted to that ono model: It is made in two sizes—the 7-passenger with 127 in. wheel base, and the 5-passenger with 120 in. wheel base, and in each instance the standards are alike. The 100 per cent, over-strength necessitated the use of costly steel, and this has only been made possible by factory efficiency.
