“FORD” RADIATORS
TEN HOURS’ TEST Known as the agitator, a machine now in operation in the Ford plant in Detroit, United States, tries with all the efficient fiendishness of an engine of destruction to shake the life out of Ford radiatqrs in the shortest possible time. Ten hours are allotted this machine to do all in its power to ruin a waterfilled radiator. At the end of the torment the radiator is taken off, examined and then given a severe compressed air test. Filled with air under high pressure and sealed, the radiator is immersed in a tank of water. If a bubble denotes escaping air, the radiator is rejected. This agitator is part of the testing equipment designed for parts of the new Ford. It jiggles and jolts, and shakes the unprotesting radiator as no road ever can do, and gives it more severe jars and jolts than it is ever likely to receive in a lifetime of service.
