ABBOTT-DETROIT BRANCH, 106-108 S. Second St., City. I I HEAT TREATMENT OF STEEL IMPORTANT IN AUTO PARTS Opinion of George G. McTwlnnd. President of the H»msburg Auto mobile Company, Distributors of the Hayues, America's First Car Hear treatment of steel parts, espe i'tally the drop forged parts, plays a very important part in the automobile industry, though the value of such : treatment, according to George F. Mo- Farlsnd, president of the Harrisburg Automobile Company, distributors in this territory for the Haynes, Ameri ca's First Car, is little appreciated by the average owner on account of lus lack of knowledge in regard to its pos sibilities. (r>teel is a mixture of free carbon, carbon combined with iron and what is kirtrtvn as a solid solution of carbon :n iron. The hardness and toughness of the steel depends upon the condition that this carbon exists in the steel. I Heat treating in its elementary form consists in heating the steel to a few degrees above what is termed the crit ical temperature of the particular ! steel an.l then suddenly cooling th'e ; steel. The actual process is a little 1 more complicated than this statement ! would indicate. When the steel reaches i this critical temperature, there is a I sudden change in its composition, i The carbon and iron making up the 1 steel change their relation, so thai t there is an actual change in the in-J ternal structure of the steel. The solid i solution of carbon has increased. The important steps of heat treat- | ing consists in getting the steel up : to the proper temperature so as to ob- j tain this changed structure, and then to cool the steel suddenly to retain j i the structure. All steel is crystalline., 1 as a broken section will show, and a ; properly heat treated steel should j i show a fine silky grain, while the un treated steel is coarse grained, j The effect of heat treating is to in- 1 crease wonderfully the strength of the ; steel. For instance, a piece of steel i that would break under a pull of 60,- j 000 pounds before heat treating, will not break after heat treating until a load of 120.000 pounds is applied. The' relative increase in strength due to! heat treating depends, of course, upon the initial composition of the steel as ! to the per cent, of the carbon and other j elements. The use of heat treated forging j slightly smaller than the untreated j forging* used in the past years, en ables the automobile to be built lighter and at the same time actually stronger. ; Kverv steel forging in the Haynes; light six car, such as the crank shaft, j cam shaft, steering knuckles, brake! levers and connecting rods is lieat j treated. Keen the gears in the trans- j mission and rear axle are given the; heat treatment to prevent any pos sibility of their being stripped, should an attempt be made to shift gears at . the wrong time.

M. Greene, foreign ' representative of the Maxwell Motor I Company, of Detroit, as he stepped from a Maxwell touring oar and enter ed the Maxwell Company's main office ! in Detroit. The aceount of Mr. Greene's experi ence is most interesting. He was in, Paris with C. l'\ Redden, the Maxwell i Company's sales manager, when the war broke out. Together the two men 1 witnessed the mobilizing of French j troops and the wild, but enthusiasm of the Parisians as they marched] through the streets of the.r city sing ing and yelling. On July 30, Mr. Greene reached Ber lin and there again he saw scenes, which only occur before a great war. lit was while Mr. Greene was here that the Germans learned that the English were mobilizing. They had not feared so much before hut their faces became serious when they learned of the action of the British. It was at this time that Mr. Greene was taken as an Eng lish spy and Was forced to spend sev eral hours under guard before he was identified and released. Mr. Greene also witnessed an attack on th<> English Ambassador. Mobs followed his auto mobile and a troop of mounted police men with drawn swords surroun'led his j car and accompanied him to safety. The Germans destroyed all things bear ding Knglish names and the beautiful residence of the English Consul was stoned. With such spirit against the Knglish running high the lives of Americans were more or 'ess endangered, due to the resemblance between English and i American. For this reason the Germau authorities issued an edict that all Americans wear American tlags a* means of identification: Mr. Greene was fortunate to secure transportation on a special train for Americans only, from Berlin to Rotter i'lam. There were 165 Americans on I board and the usual run of seven hours occupied a day anil a half. The train had a dining coach but the passengers! were compelled to sleep in their seats. At Amsterdam. Mr. Greene took aj i train to the Hook of Holland from thencp by boat to Harwich ami another, two-hour train ride brought him to L»an-; don. While en route to New York, the! Minnehaha, on which Mr. Greene' booked passage, had several delays.! One night she was held up by a strange! warship and not until the stranger was' satisfied as to the nationality and desti-' nation of the Minnehaha was she al! lowed to proceed. Several days out of Xew York a field of icebergs was encountered and ■ | created intense excitement on ship j board, and then as if to cap the eli | max, a hurricane sprang u;\ which i threatened for a while to pa; havoc! | with the ship. Xew York was finally I reached, however, and Mr. Greenes' reference to the Statue of Liberty un j ioubtedlv voiced the sentiment of I 1 every American on board. t THEAUfOSHOWATST.
