FORD INSTALLS HUGE AIR CONDITIONER IN PLANE ENGINE PUNT TO INSURE PRECISION WORKMANSHIP i Dearborn. Michigan—The larg est air conditioning system ev er installed in an American indus tral plant is ready for operation in the new $23,000,000 airplane en gine factory at the Ford Rouge plant. Cooled, filtered air will be drawn into this huge ‘‘black-out” type de fense unit at the rate of 2,000,000 cubic feet a minute when the enor mous air-eontrol system starts op erating. according to Ford design ers and engineers. Although the airplane engine plant contains more than 800,000 square feet of floor space. Ford engineers said it would receive six complete changes of conditioned air every hour. “That means a complete new deal on air inside that plant once every ten minutes and that’s real ly a lot of air when you consider the building contains 70,000,000 cubic feet of space,” one of them said. The new factory will be devot ed entirely to producing 1850 and 2,000 horsepower, 18 cylinder Pratt and Whitney Double Wasp aircraft engines, used by the U. S. Army in its most powerful airplanes. Now in limited production on cer tain parts for the engine the Ford Motor Company expects to start building complete engines within a few weeks. The plant has a planned initial capacity of one en gine an hour during a 16 hour day. It probably will be greatly enlarg ed in the near future. Air conditioning, Ford engineers explained, plays a big part in the precision workmanship required in aircraft work. By controlling tem peratures the year around, Ford production experts are insuring uniformity in metal stock and ma chine tools, as well as providing for the comfort of workers. “Most of the work on the Pratt and Whitney engine requires pre * cision down to 1-10,000s of an inch, so without a means of reg ulating temperature there would be variation in dimensions of ma terials and in the adjustment of delicate machines,” the Ford ex pert pointed out. “Clean air also is essential. This big air conditioning system filters out all harmful dust and removes from the atmosphere oil fumes that might be harmful to workers as well as machines.” The company engineer explained that the air control system in the new aircraft unit is also remark able for the number of fan and blower outfits. It contains 32 large intake fans in the main sec tion of the plant, 16 on either side, and has two more drawing air into he aircraft apprentice school sec tion. Six thousand tons of refrig eration equipment cools the air. ‘‘This is comparable to the am iunt of air conditioning equipment used in a 25 story hotel building,” he added. WOMEN WILL BE ASKED TO VOLUNTEER Women in every city block in Omaha will be asked to volunteer to take part in a Red Cross Pre oaredness drive to oo-ordinate the trained services of all who have taken Red Cross defense courses, according to Miss Rosemary Tut tle, secretary of the Douglas Coun ty chapter of the American Red Cross. It is intended that nearly 6.000 women will be included in the organization of women bv neighborhoods, streets and city blocks, she said. Mrs. Jack Abajian will be gen eral chairman for the entire city, ... ,an::!::!;is; ! with an advisory councl assisting j her. On the council will be the I following: Mesdames Harley Con ant. John Bosch, John C. Larsen, R. H. Wensberg. L. J. Marcotte, I Milton Mayper, H. H. Brinkman. LaVeme Smith, Dwight E. Port er, J. J. Keegan. Working under Mrs. Abajian ward chairmen will be responsible for the preparedness organization in their own wards. Alrady chos en are Mesdames E. W. Donlin, J. E. Oberreuter, Stanley Jackson M. L. Donovan. Joh|n C. Blanchard. Miller Prentice, R- B. Baker, Earl F. Barnett, George F. Ashby, Ar thur A. Fenger, and Albin A. Hoff man. Miss Tuttle explained that each of the ward chairmen will choose precinct chairmen for each block in the city. Officially represent ing the Red Cross in coordinat ing all preparedness activities in the block unit, these block chair men will find out which persons an their city blocks have beer, trained in any phase of Red Cross preparedness. Such trained per sons will be organized for emer gency volunteer work and train ing will be offered to all others who wish to serve as volunteers in any capacity that has to do with national defense. “Red Cross services included in national defense are first aid bome nursing, motor corps, disas ter preparedness, nutrition and mass feeding, making of hospital dressing and bandages for the army and navy, sewing and knitt ing, nursing aids, life saving and water safety, hospital recreation and occupational therapy, office assistance, Braille for the blind, and training courses for the as sistants in military and naval wel fare services.” explained Miss Tuttle. “Training in these services,” she said “has been carried on for some time in Omaha but will be ex panded to meet emergency needs. During the first six months of this year more than 7000 persons have been trained in these defense measures in Douglas county, and more than 30,000 persons in the past five years. The newly form ed co-ordination committee will have the job of organizing and co ordinating the services of all these trained persons and extending the training until our entire city will ibe prepared for the emergencies that may occur."
