RECORD PRODUCTION
NEARLY 60,000 CARS IN SIX MONTHS. The Directors of Morris Motors, Ltd., England, announce that for the six months January 1 to June 30, 1939, nearly 60,000 Morris models were delivered to distributors and dealers throughout Great Britain alone; a figure which constitutes a record for the company, and which is believed to be a record for the British motor industry. During the first quarter of the year. January ■ to March, more than 31.000 models were delivered, and there is little doubt that the figure of 60,000 cars for the six months would have been exceeded except for the fact that the factory had been closed twice during the six months for the usual Easter and Whitsun holidays. It is interesting to note in connection with this record output figure that, in order to achieve it, one complete car - has left the factory, on an average, every minute of each working day during the past six months.
