H. Windsor, of Chicago, editor of Popular Mechanics Magaslne. . .......... Among the many problems to be solved are a plan of traffic regulation for the larger cities, a new musical In strument for orchestral use, a way to salvage lumber waste and an etching process. The awards ranee In amount from $100 to several thousand, the elosin dtte fain lfa li lain It was pointed out In the Industrial Awards Plan in which these offers were listed that many of the greatest great-est Inventions. nave. been jhe work of men. having little or. no lechnlcai knowledge, of which Bell. Morse, Goodyear and scores of others are examples. By meeting these conditions through the obtaining of closer co-operation between manufacturers and Inventors, Mr. Windsor explained that It was hoped that the awards would result In much ood to the general public In the way of better products and lower costs and that they would arons e and properly direct the ' latent Inventive ability of the nation.

' Fire Manufacturing Improvements, Shown The high degree to . which production produc-tion efficiency has been brought about in the plants of The B. F. Goodrich Rubber Company, is particularly noticeable to a visitor ..who calls at the plant at this season of the year. Production. 'of Goodrich Tires Is being be-ing accomplished through the elimination elimi-nation of lost time and waste at a saving wbteh was undreamed of five or six years ago. And the fact re mains that probably the mostaston-J Isbing thing about this economy Is that with the advance of efficiency In manufacture has come a steady Improvement Im-provement In the product The result re-sult Is that the standard ot service for tires has been considerably raise j over what it was a few years ago. In the old days one of the biggest Items of waste In tire manufacture came In the fabric that the tire build er trimmed off. "This item was also a very important gauge to the quality of the tire, for the tire builder who had a large trim was stretching his plies too much making the tire car cass too tight and susceptible to breakage under strain. On the other hand the tire builder whose trim was pratclcally negligible was not stretching stretch-ing his plies tight enough and the result re-sult might show In a wrinkled ply which In the end would weaken the carcass. Since the advent of mechanical tire building means the product becomes more uniform, and labor Is not such a factor governor tire quality.- Today fn the Goodrich factory detailed records re-cords are kept of the number of ounces of fabric trimmed from each tire by each building machine operator. oper-ator. - These figures are constantly cheeked by Inspectors and waste specialists who are able to correct the machine or builder 'wntfn the slightest variation occurs. In this way the high standard of quality that Is so consistently shown In long mileage Is maintained In every tire produced. .
