their functioning when properly correlated these three factors are engineering which by study and experi mentation conceives and develops the implement or machine to meet the immediate need or problem of the farmer manufacturing to produce in quantity and quality the machines developed so that they may be economically available to the farmers whom they were designed to assist distributing to sell with all the details which this includes and which in its broader sense implies the missionary work of introducing new developments so that the full possibilities en visioned by the engineer may be fully appre ciated by a sufficient number to provide the volume necessary to bring manufacturing costs down to a point that extends the benefits of the machine to the greatest number including also os it does the rendering of the necessary service to assure of the purchaser getting the utmost in satisfaction in the operation of his machine ond the furnishing of parts to keep it in operation during its lifetime with loss through breakdown reduced to a minimum it is evident that when these three functions ore coordinated under one management the success of each being entirely dependent on the success of the other ond the success of all being the responsibility of that management that each functions at its highest point of efficiency ono cannot blame for its shortcomings the actions of the others insofar as the customer is concerned there can be no buckpassing its an undivided responsibility masseyharris is proud of its engineering developments in the field of farm machinery over the
