Overland Plant Tour Showcased Marvelous Machines
R. Luse reports on a factory tour of the Willys Overland plant, describing vast facilities, 103 acres and 4.5 million square feet, a 1,000 car daily capacity, and heavy use of automated drop forging and turret lathes. He notes immense material flows, aluminum work, real diamonds in grinding, extensive lumber for bodies, and rapid tire mounting. The visit accompanies a two day convention with meals, entertainment, and a speech by Willys.
