For instance, there are six miles of main conveyor alone in the Passenger Car assembly line and 1,700 cars in various stages of manufacture at all times. The trains® itinerary starts at the body in White Shop, where ear bodies are put together, DULL MO welded, metal finished, and pre- pared for painting. The trim and hardware area is where all seats and exterior trim are assembled on the car body. The chassis building is a pre- paration area for the front and sheet metal assembly: for the entire chassis (here front and sheet metals such as fenders and hoods are prepared and painted), In it can be found the engine assembly area, the frame line and the final assemb- ly line, One of the most interesting operations is to be seen in the body paint shop where goggled operators use (paint) spray guns with uncanny precision and skill as the cars move before them on the assembly line, In front of the operators is a giant water- falt backdrop that carries away the fumes. The operators have a variety of guns, each of a dif- ferent color to suit the specific model, Anger MOTOR ASSEMBLED The body drop operation in the chassis building is typical of the high mechanical and pro- duction efficiency to be seen, The car body jis prepared for the body plant, meta! finished, painted and completed on the interior. It is then put on a conveyor which takes it across a connecting bridge between the and cha plant. The trip takes approximately three hours. While the car body is enroute to its destination, a_ telytype schedule has been sent to the engine assembly area, and other areas of the assembly line where wheels and tires are pre- pared (also front metals, such as for fenders). Of significance is this point at every stage of production the ear undergoes meticulous © in«* spection by a large staff 'of pro- duction men, Such things as Wheel Alignment get special at+ tention, but nothing is over looked, including scratches and dim lights. Once the car is put together, it comes along the primary inspection line. When cars roll off the as- sembly line, they go to the Last inspection Station--from there they go to either Light or Heavy Repair or to the Final Finish Department, Car engines for GM's Oshawa plants come from McKinnon Industries Ltd., at St, Catha- rines, Ont,, a General Motors subsidiary, but they are not yet ready for the Assembly 'line. First cars to roll off the line this week were the new Ponti- acs, but other models will follow in quick succession, The first cars will be available at a special Press show late this month, The production "heat" is on right now so that the new models can be in the dealers' showrooms by the day of the big announcement, aur Luatendit yt anttetre itd gtrntc yt ate nN ptt ereatetnstata i This year is an historic one in the history of GM in Canada in that it marks the opening of the company's new plant in Ste.

To get an idea of GM's con- tribution to the country's economy--each working day GM spends more than $3,000,000 for wages, salaries, goods, serv: ices and taxes, The weekly pays roll for more than 15,000 hourly- ratec"»workers at the Oshawa plant hits more than $2,000,000, GM's Oshawa plants manu' facture more than 300,000 cars and trucks yearly.
