FACTORY OUIPUT
OF SPEED BOATS
DETROIT.—Quality production is j
to be the watchword of the great j
Ford Shipbuilding yard which is be
ing erected here for the construction
of the United States navy “Eagles,”
the little vessels which, it is hoped,
will help rid the seas of German
U-boats.
The assembling plan has been
greatly elaborated and will be ap
plied to the building of the “Eagles”
The raw material will enter one end
of the plant and emerge at the other
end a completed fighting craft. Each |
of the little vessels will be passed i
along by powerful machinery from :
one group of workmen to another,
and as it passes, each group will
add something to the boat.
When the last rivet has been driv
en in the steel hull, the boat will be
picked up bodily by a powerful
hydraulic life and deposited further
down the ways where skilled work
men will install the motor equipment.
Three ways have been constructed
each to hold seven of the submarine
chasers. It is generally understood
that the plant will be able to put
into the water one completed “Eagle”
a day and some estimates have placed
the number as high as three for each
twenty-four hours.
There will be no champagne
christenings nor elaborate launching
ceremonies. No efforts are being j
made to give the boats any touch I
of artificial beauty, the sole effort |
being to turn out with as great
speed as possible an efficient weapon
against German ruthlessness on the
seas. Government secrecy shrouds
the major details of construction.
“If these boats will nasten the end
(of the frightful carnage ar.d bring j
a lasting peace, there will be no j
occasion to worry over the cost,” \
said Henry Ford, in discussing the'
project. “This is your war and my '
war, and although we did not make j
it, we must see it through to a sue-1
cessful conclusion.
Sixty days ago \he land on which
the plant is being erected was a:
desolate marsh, a vast acreage of j
mud through which wandered aim-1
lessly a sluggish river. Now it is'
a net-work of railroad tracks with
locomotives running between great
buildings of steel, tile and glass.
What engineers here say is one
of the largest buildings in the world
will be used to house at one lime a
score of the little vessels. It is
1,700 feet long, 300 feet wide. The
building where the boats are to be
assembled is fully half « mile from
the Rouge river. The launching
basin adjoins this budding and thence
a channel is being excavated to the
river
