| SOME PACKARD PRECISION INSTRUMENTS - 2778-A BigKev Misc Packard Photos 07/23/2018 10:00 886 0 0.00 (0 votes)Rate this Image
In this group the instruments are all accurate to millionths of an inch. They are used in the Packard factory for checking daily the gages and tools used in the manufacture of Packard cars. The LIGHT WAVE MACHINE, shown in the upper left hand corner, is the most accurate and absolute method of measurement ever discovered. By this simple device which depends upon light waves for its accuracy, the very accuracy blocks which others are satisfied with are frequently found v/ith minute imperfections. Accuracies up to 25 millionths of.an inch are measured by the OPTIMETER, shown in the upper right hand corner. The latest development, making use of the principles of radio amplification for inspection purposes, is but another example of Packard's determination to produce the finest of the fine. We are unable at this date to show a complete picture of this device. Track suits do not make record runners nor does the conferring of an MD degree upon a medical student make a surgeon of note. These instruments are important, but the 29 years' INTENT TO BUILD THE BEST is the thing your prospect should be sold on. The Packard car of today is truly a product of a distinguished family. Your prospect will understand this only by demonstrations. Again, only obedience to certain mathematical laws, to which Packard takes no exceptions, and operating under certain predetermined principles will produce a fine product.

| REAR AXLE DRIVING PINION FINISHING MACHINES - 20174-A BigKev Misc Packard Photos 07/23/2018 10:05 888 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.
