On a 400 acre site a few miles from the factory, Packard has built the most unique proving ground in tb8 world of industry. Besides containing a 2fc mile long, 50 foot wide, banked turn, oblong race track, this proving ground contains a perfect airplane landing field. -Equipment on this experimental speedway consists of everything from a towing dynamometer to a testing laboratory. Proving Packard cars built from 29 years of recorded experience calls for a different type of track and accessories than |if. Packard were building cars in a wide range of price classifications. As of today* a certain number of finished Packard cars are taken from the assembly line each month and placed in test at our proving grounds. These tests run anywhere from 5000 - to 50,000 miles and are compressed in as few as 20 days. By working three shifts of men, cars record mileage in excess of a year's average driving in a comparatively few hours. |This proving ground permits actual measurements for wear on cylinders, pistons, bearings, valve springs, transmission, universal joints and rear axles, scientifically and accurately. The Packard Proving Ground is a gigantic "crime detector." Through this investment your prospect is assured of simplicity in design, durability in manufacture and economy in operation of his Packard purchase. This picture shows a special Packard Eight phaeton traveling at a speed in excess of 100 miles an hour. Picture courtesy of Roscoe Stelford |

| TEMPERATURE RECORDERS - 2735-A BigKev Misc Packard Photos 07/23/2018 10:24 1313 0 0.00 (0 votes)Rate this Image
This illustration shows the instruments for recording temperatures used on continuous heat-treating furnaces. A line is drawn on each of the charts throughout each run and this accurately records the temperature. Equipment of this type is used on all heat-treating furnaces, enameling ovens, paint drying ovens, core ovens and all places where accurate temperature control is necessary. This equipment, besides drawing a chart showing the temperature, also automatically opens and closes either the gas or oil used for firing when the temperature becomes either too high or low. They are so accurate, that at temperatures of 1600? F. there is a variation of not more than plus or minus 5? F. You would not think much of a hospital where the temperature thermometers used with the individual patient were not carefully checked by pre-established standards, based on years of experience. In the Packard heat-treating department, they are just as careful with the instruments used for recording temperatures as a hospital superintendent is of the instruments used by his staff of physicians. There is a crisis period in the heat-treating of every metal. If temperatures are permitted to go beyond certain limitations, the molecules that m?*;e up this metal break down, lose their efficiency and become worthless. We leave as little as possible to human opinion and conjecture. Every batch of material has its own chart. This accounts for the many numbers found on even the smallest parts. These charts are filed for reference and constant study. Here, too, your Packard product is protected to the maximum. Picture courtesy of Roscoe Stelford |
