| STRIPING MACHINE - 2737-A BigKev Misc Packard Photos 07/23/2018 10:13 1021 0 0.00 (0 votes)Rate this Image
As far back as the history of vehicles goes, manufacturers have found it necessary to employ high-priced workmen to stripe and finish the product. Striping was just as good and no better than the disposition of the operator. It remained for Packard to invent, design and patent the simple apparatus illustrated in this picture for striping Packard bodies Picture courtesy of Roscoe Stelford |

This illustration shows an operator in the Packard factory using the Packard striping machine. Much more than hard-to-control hands is saved, and again - a better job is accomplished by this ingenious device. Time formerly required to stripe an average body has been cut from 2 hours to 15 minutes. Picture courtesy of Roscoe Stelford |

| METERING PLUG_OF PACKARD CHASSIS LUBRICATOR - 378-E BigKev Misc Packard Photos 07/23/2018 10:12 744 0 0.00 (0 votes)Rate this Image
This is a diagram of the controlled outlet used at the various stations requiring frequent lubrication. Each outlet controls the flow of clean oil to exactly the right quantity to each wearing surface. In addition to being metered accurately, the oil is strained through a bronze screen and also through a pledget of cotton before it is delivered to its destination. Clean oil is the only sure method of reducing friction to the minimum. A car without centralized lubrication is not a modern automobile. |

| PACKARD BENDIX BRAKES - 324-E BigKev Misc Packard Photos 07/23/2018 10:11 998 0 0.00 (0 votes)Rate this Image
Internal, expanding, self-energizing, three shoe brake used on all four wheels of Packard vehicles. The cam at the top of the photograph spreads the two upper shoes. This action on the upper left shoe which is not anchored to the backing plate forces the lower shoe against the drum. The braking action is aided by the rotation of the brake drum - thus a moving car creates its own braking energy. Note the simplicity of construction and the constant pressure of each shoe against the drum. Today's higher speeds demand better and more dependable brakes Picture courtesy of Roscoe Stelford |

| AUXILIARY OlLING FOR CYLINDER WALLS AND PISTONS - 380-E BigKev Misc Packard Photos 07/23/2018 10:10 749 0 0.00 (0 votes)Rate this Image
This illustration outlines the oil flood valve and piping that provide -the extra lubrication for the cylinder and piston surfaces while your Packard motor is warming up. This device accomplishes automatically with the pulling of the choke-rod further pocketbook insurance for Packard owners. With any motor at rest, the cylinder walls and piston surfaces have a tendency to become dry. Then, with the rich mixture, necessarily used in starting, this dryness is aggravated by the presence of unburned fuel. The warming up period is no longer a period of destruction to Packard owners, due again to the simplicity and excellence in design of this capable oil flood valve. It reduces cold motor cylinder wear to the minimum. Picture courtesy of Roscoe Stelford |

| MOTOR TESTING DIVISION - 2045-A BigKev Misc Packard Photos 07/23/2018 10:09 795 0 0.00 (0 votes)Rate this Image
In this department the motors, 82 at a time, are limbered up, being driven by an electric motor for a minimum of 9 hours. They are then placed on a dynamometer rack where they, in turn, drive a motor carrying an electrical resistance. Here the horsepower, compression of each cylinder and general perfection of the motor are determined. The valves, oil pump, carburetor, fan belt, spark plugs, distributer, etc, are adjusted. Then, the motor is again torn down when a final inspection and oil pressure bearing tests are made. After re-assembling, the unit is ready for the frame assembly line.

| TESTING DIFFERENTIAL ASSEMBLIES - 2624-A BigKev Misc Packard Photos 07/23/2018 10:08 846 0 0.00 (0 votes)Rate this Image
Packard manufactures its own differentials. After they are assembled, they are placed on this continuously moving line and come from the assembly room into an especially constructed silence chamber where experienced and very competent men adjust them for tooth bearing. Perfection in differential assembly-, as in the manufacture of other parts of an automobile,, comes only through deep study and much experience. Packard manufactured the first spiral bevel gear ever used in an automobile and it is, in addition, a pioneer in the use of Hypoid gears in rear axle drives, all of which is important to your prospect because these are vital pocketbook parts where failure may mean much expense and loss of time.

| SPECIAL MULTIPLE DRILLING MACHINE - 2740-A BigKev Misc Packard Photos 07/23/2018 10:07 726 0 0.00 (0 votes)Rate this Image
Here is another special Packard designed machine to improve manufacture. One hundred and sixteen (116) holes drilled in the cylinder block in one operation. Top of cylinder, top of cylinder block, manifold side and valve cover areas are all contacted at one time. The effort of four operators and four machines is thus concentrated in one machine and one operator, and again - a job is done better for the protection of your prospect's pocketbook.

| CYLINDER HEAD COMBUSTION CHAMBER MILLING MACHINE - 2059-A BigKev Misc Packard Photos 07/23/2018 10:06 774 0 0.00 (0 votes)Rate this Image
The high compression cylinder head chambers on all Packard oars are milled out on this machine. Most manufacturers do not go to the expense of this operation, merely leaving this compression chamber in its rough state as when cast. Nevertheless, this final finish on all Packard motors equalizes the compression in each cylinder and also minimizes the accumulation of carbon because of the smooth surfaces obtained by this operation. The size of each combustion chamber is checked for accuracy by testing the volume capacity with alcohol (plus or minus 5c.c.) and must come within negligible limits.

| REAR AXLE DRIVING PINION FINISHING MACHINES - 20174-A BigKev Misc Packard Photos 07/23/2018 10:05 833 0 0.00 (0 votes)Rate this Image
These machines finish-cut the Hypoid spiral rear axle driving pinion which is connected to the rear universal joint. This pinion meshes with the ring gear and drives the rear wheels. These machines are very accurate, cutting these gears to a manufacturing limit of one-half thousandths. In the upper right hand corner of this picture there.is illustrated the Hypoid ring gear and pinion $ also the spiral bevel ring gear and pinion. About 17 years ago in this very room the first spiral bevel gears and pinions were originated and developed. In originating these gears, Packard designed, built and for many years controlled every machine used in cutting such gears. Previous to Packard's introduction of the spiral bevel gears, every automobile used either straight tooth bevel gears for final drive or chain and sprocket - so here is another example of Packard's contribution to the industry. It is to be expected that Packard should be the.first in the industry to develop and establish the Hypoid gear which has so capably superseded the spiral bevel type of drive. Packard took practically as many fundamental steps in the development of the Hypoid gear as it did in the development of the spiral bevel and many thousands of these gears were out in Packard axles before the industry recognized their ability. The Hypoid gear has 22j? more sliding action than any of the old type spiral bevels. You and your prospects can judge the future by the past} just as Packard was ahead of the times in the development of these gears, its .future will be governed by the adoption of every sound engineering principle.
