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.

| MOTOR BLOCK LIFTER - 821-A BigKev Misc Packard Photos 07/23/2018 10:04 865 0 0.00 (0 votes)Rate this Image
Here is another example of Packard's increase in manufacturing efficiency. This machine, designed and built in the Packard factory and operated by compressed air, saves the time and physical effort of several men and DOES THE JOB INFINITELY , BETTER. Besides lifting the cylinder block and dropping it on the upper half of the crankcase, using the connecting rod and piston as a guide, this machine serves as a check on many previous factory operations on these units. If connecting rods, pistons, valve lifters or other crankcase parts are assembled in any way but EXACTLY as prescribed in the Packard blueprints, this machine searches out those inaccuracies because the cylinder block which it holds in its almost human clutch cannot be released if there are any obstacles present. This machine is one of the biggest protections in the assembly line of the Packard factory because it protects mechanically so many parts. Contrast, if you please, the schemes of only a few years ago when men labored all day with tiring motion to fit pistons and connecting rods to each cylinder bore. In those days an engine was no better than the various assemblers who worked on the different units. Today this hazard is eliminated. This device is - again - another reason why Packard cars of today are better, and the labor formerly required to perform this accurate operation is released for more productive gain.
