| HEAT-TREATING FURNACES - 2438-A BigKev Misc Packard Photos 07/23/2018 10:23 1360 0 0.00 (0 votes)Rate this Image
This illustration shows the continuous carburizing furnaces used for case-hardening such parts as transmission gears, rear axle ring gears, etc. The work is pushed through one of these furnaces at regular intervals and requires 12 hours for the complete "cooking" process. After parts are removed, they are quenched in oil or other solutions to harden them. Heat-treating Packard parts is an exact science. Temperatures are used in the Packard plant from 30? F. to 2800? F. and methods of measuring and accurately checking these temperatures are most modern. Heat-treating Packard parts should be interesting to your prospect. The linen collar you have on would not look or wear so well if it were not first starched and then heat-treated with modern machinery. Neither would our mother's pies be so digestible if the dough in the crust were not heat-treated. Given the same ingredients, three cooks make three different kinds of pies - depending upon their experience, judgment and knowledge of the art of cooking. Apply this same truth to steel, and here again, Packard having originated much heat-treating machinery and many heat-treating processes does the job better. Again, this is another pocketbook reason for your prospect. Picture courtesy of Roscoe Stelford |

After the cylinders are bored and reamed to size, the honing machine puts on the final velvet-like finish, so necessary today in the use of high compression motors which demand such.a small clearance between cylinder and piston. Cylinder grinding so commonly used formerly, is now obsolete. This machine works to an accuracy of one five-thousandths inch and is infallible in its operation and precision.

| CYLINDER HEAD COMBUSTION CHAMBER MILLING MACHINE - 2059-A BigKev Misc Packard Photos 07/23/2018 10:06 785 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.

| CROSS-SECTIONAL VIEW OF CYLINDERS, PISTONS, VALVES, VALVE SPRINGS, ETC. - 578fr-D BigKev Misc Packard Photos 07/23/2018 10:02 907 0 0.00 (0 votes)Rate this Image
CROSS-SECTIONAL VIEW OF CYLINDERS, PISTONS, VALVES, VALVE SPRINGS, ETC. - 578fr-D Simplicity is the keynote in the design of Packard engines for Packard motor cars. In engineering, as in art, the simple is always the most difficult to accomplish. In this cross-sectional view you have proof of Packard excellence in design and manufacture. With a crankshaft that is statically and dynamically balanced and a real rigidity of construction, there is in this simplicity of design real insurance for the long life of Packard motors. Supported by nine bearings whose combined area is approximately 100 square inches, with a maximum distance between bearings of only 3-1/16" the crankshaft delivers power to the rear wheels with an even flow that makes the Packard car glide along the road with effortless ease. An additional feature to smooth out and blend the impulses is the Packard patented vibration damper which is designed for and built into every Packard car. Just as a railroad bridge that takes the strains- of high speed trains has complete support at the end of each span and can be built TO ANY LENGTH REQUIRED TO ACCOMPLISH ITS PURPOSE, so too, Packard engines are built with a bearing on each side of every crank throw. Your prospect should be interested in this conclusive proof of Packard protection to his pocketbook. The insert in this photograph shows the new valve spring assembly designed entirely within the Packard factory. It is made up of two separate springs, each operating with a very low stress. Consequently, the failure of this unit in service is of very rare occurrence. Tests covering hundreds of thousands of miles, and hours and hours of maximum speed have proven the quality of this spring. Nowhere in the industry is better engineering evidenced than in this important valve mechanism unit. Picture courtesy of Roscoe Stelford |
