The J, G. Brill Company of Philadelphia, Pa., uses Shakeproof Thread-Cutting
Screws for many applications i'n building their bus bodies. An outstanding
application (iilustrated above) is in the fastening of the plywood floor to the
metal understructure. Also, these screws are used for fastening interior panels
and moidings.
In the five years this company has used Shakeproof Thread-Cutting Screws,
they have proved highly practical from both production and performance
results. These screws have saved time and money in many instances by eiiminating the need for washers and nuts,- and, because
they actually cut their own threads, each screw produces a tight, strong fastening which assures greater
product durability.

T T HE kind of coating with which a wire is drawn or finished is often
as im portant from a standpoint of use as for mere looks. For example,
costly cleaning or buffing operations m ay be elim inated in plating and
roli slip m ay be avoided in forming m achinery, if the proper finish is
specified.
Tinning, Galyanizing, or Coppering are often relied upon for th e finish
of the wire article itself.
If you are in doubt as to what kind of surface or finish is best for your
particular use, it will prove profitable to you to discuss this problem with
one of the Wickwire Spencer representatives. Wissco Wire affords you
a wide choice with assurance of quality and uniform ity.

IN TODAY’5 GREAT AIRUNERS, fuselage struts, longerons,
engine mounts, landing gear, wing spars and propellers arc made
from S IIELBY Seamless Aircraft Tubing. Aircraft builders have
been quick to take advantage of the structural efficiency of the
Seamless steel tube. Its superior strength, toughness, and lightweight, and the many forms in which it is available have made
possible some of the outstanding developments of the aviation
industry.
AS OIL WELLS GO DOWN to depths undreamed of a few years
ago, drill pipe. casing, and tubing are being asked to meet racking
strains far bcyond the ordinary. That’s why you will find
N ational Seamless in use where deep drilling records are
being made. In “Walls Without Welds” oil men have found
safety and trustworthiness in hazardous service like this.
FOR USE AFLOAT. N ational Seamless is the standard specification of many marinę architects and engineers. Used for
rnasts, booms, and yardarms - in the boiłers—in the high
pressure steam lines, no pipe or tubing offers such safety or
has shown such consistently high records for length of service
and freedom from maintenance, as seamless pipe.
IN. TODAY'S FINE CARS, drag links, tie rods, torque tubes,
steering columns, shock absorbers, axles, brake shafts, bearings, and other vital parts are made from SHELBY Seamless
Tubing. Automotive engineers have found that this tubing,
because of its constant uniformity, is best adapted to the
reąuirements of mass production.

FOR RAILROAD EQ U IPM EN Tf N ational Seamless boiler
tubes rcduce installation time by an average of 15 to 20 per
cent. Completcly annealed, they turn over, expand, roli and
bend easily. Throughout the modern train, the added stresses
and yibration of hauling g re a te r loads at higher speeds reąuire
stronger. finer pipę in all steam, water and air lines—
N ational Seamless fills the bill.
N A T IO N A L SEAM LESS derives its
unsurpassed physical properties first,
from the steel of which it is mac1^; and
second, from the process by which it is
produced. Billets of only the finest selected, open-hearth steel go into its man­
ufacture. These are pierced at high tem­
perature, then precision-rolled to the
correct size and wali thickness. A t every
stage of production, thorough tests and
inspections keep quality at its peak. The
result is N ational Seamless as you receive it— uniform in wali strength, accu­
rate in dimensions, and uniform in all
physical properties— the finest pipę and
tubes metallurgy can produce.

THE N EW
GEN ERAL ELECTRIC
P O L Y P H A S E IN D U C T IO N
M O TO R
W henever a basie advance in electricai products is made, you can count on
G raybar
to be am ong the first to “tag” the benefits for wise buyers. Such is
the case w ith G eneral E lectric’s com pletely new “ T ri-C lad ” m otor . . . designed
to give extra protection three w ays, along w ith higher operating efficiency and
sleek, m odern styling.
G en eral E lectric M otors and M otor Controls are typical of the “ fronf>rank”
lines of electricai eąuipm ent and supplies offered b y G r a y b a r throughout its
nationw ide distribution netw ork in 86 cities. Y e t, in each com m unity, the local
G raybar
office is pledged to personal service, w ith individual attention to the
needs of near-by buyers.
Thus, there’s a double reason for going to G r a y b a r for “ everything electrical” : ( 1 ) T h e new est and best products, ( 2 ) from a “ one-call” local source
whose prim ary responsibility is keeping your good-will. W hatever your electrical needs, w hy not put them up to your local G r a y b a r R epresen tative? Or,
w rite direct for inform ation or assistance.

breakdown
against operating w ear and
tear
T he new stator windings
of F O R M E X * wire, together
with improved insulating
m a te r ia ls and m e th o d s,
give extra protection against
electricai breakdown.
F u n d a m e n ta l im p r o v e m ents in bearing design
give extra protection against
failure or excessive wear
in service. A scientifically
improved lubricating sys­
tem and double-end ventilation augm ent this pro­
tection.
T h e sturdy, cast-iroa framę,
an d e n d -s h ie ld s w ith n o
openings above the center
line, protect the vitał parts
against physical damage.
T here’s no chance for falling materials or dripping

A t a famous aircraft engine works
in England, for example, Kennametal
is being used w ith outstanding succcss to machinę steel cylinder liners
for their engines. Required produc­
tion on this w ork was 80 liners per
shift, using two complete sets of tools
for a battery of three Bullard Multi
Matic Machines. Other carbide tools
had failed to maintain this production
after a lengthy demonstration, while
the Kennam etal tools proved their
ability to maintain reąuired produc­
tion after a trial period of only one
week. O n the rough boring operation
alone, Kennametal averaged 50 pieces
per tool grind as compared to 15
pieces for other carbide tools, w ith a
time cycle of 6 minutes as compared
to 10 minutes when the other tools
were used.

Cylinder liners, cylinder barrels, retractor tubes, shafts, propellcr hubs,
gun tube shafts, gear blanks, and
other parts of airplane motors and
riggin g are of hard alloy steel, often
heat treated to as hard as 405 Brinell
to obtain high physical properties.
Steel-cutting carbide tools, tipped with
a new tool composition containing the
hon-cratering i n g r e d i e n t W T iC ,,
marketed in the United States, C an­
ada, Great Britain and the rest of the
world under the trade na me “ Kenna­
metal ” , are widely used in this work.
Kennam etal tools are also used on
Bullard Autom atics for m achining cyl­
inder sleeves for another airplane en­
gine m anufacturer in E ngland. Bor­
ing was done at 250 ft. per min., and
.0)8" feed by the first two tools. For
facing the shoulder end they had previously used high speed steel tools at
52 ft. per min., as it was an interrupted
cut. By taking a regular turning tool
Kennametal tool machining Nitralloy
steel cylinder barrel (230 Brinell) at
200 ft. per min. at Wright Aeronautical Corp.

Kennametal turning tool
with chip breaker on tip
(Kennam etal style 11T 50 ) and one of
the opposite hand (Kennam etal style
12T50) and grinding them with 3°
negative Back Rake and 2° ncgative
Side Rake, the speed was increased to
140 ft. per' min. w ith .015" feed. In­
terrupted cutting on steel is customarily done with these tools em ploying
slightly ncgative rake angles, giving
long tool life.
In addition to their extensive use
in England for m achining aircraft
parts, Kennametal is also finding w ide
use in Am erican airplane factories.
W right Aeronautical Corp., for example, turn N itralloy steel cylinder barrcls of 230-240 Brinell hardness at a
speed of 200 ft. per min., w ith K enna­
metal tools. In another plant, the out­
side diameter of retractor tubes of
S A E 4130 heat-treated to 40-42 Rock­
well “ C ” are turned at 160 ft. per min.
and 500 pieces per tool grind— result­
ing in a 400% increase in production.
W hile Kennametal steel-cutting tools
are doing much to speed defense pro­
duction, both in the United States
and in England, they are also being
used extensively to machinę steel parts
for ordinary commercial products. Bccause they will approximately double
production on most steel cutting jobs,
they are doing much to maintain the
Am erican standard of living w hile
the country is arm ing for defense.

I he smali size ot Torrington Needle Bearings
permits substantial reduction in dimensions ot our
Angle Head tools,” declares J. E. Olson, engineer
o f Chicago Pneumatic Tool Company. The antitnction Needle Bearings (shown above on an Angle
1lead drive shaft) occupy no more space than a
pUm bushing-..yet carry heavy loads at high speeds with great efficiency and
long lite, lor radia! capacity is extrem ely high in proportion to size.
“ And they require no extra lubrication system s,” add Chicago Pneum atics
engineers, '‘ because large supplies of grease are retained within the close-fittine
hps of the race
-a special advantage for bearings in hard-to-reach spots.
lornngton Needle Bearings are ąuickly installed at low cost because they
are selt-conta.ned units. Another adyantage: initial costs are surprisingly smali.
Are you seeking ways to improye your products efficiency while keeping costs and space recjuircments low? The extraordinarily compact, high-capacity Torrington
Needle Bearing may be the answer to your problem. Our Engineering
Department will gladly help you plan the inclusion of its advantages in
\our product. l'or more decailed information, write for Catalog Ko. 110

The surface of COLORBOND, the new galvanized sheet by Newport, provides
a natural "tooth” that tightly holds paint, enamel, lacquer, and similar finishes,
■which w ill not adhere to an untreated galvanized surface.
In manufaeture, COLORBOND is subjected to chemical and metallurgical
processes that change the surface without in any way weakening the protective
spelter coating. The galvanizing remains intact, unimpaired, a durable protec­
tion that safeguards the metal even after the paint coating has disappeared.
Further, when COLORBOND Galvanized Sheets are used, the value and life of
any surface treatment is actually inereased.

0 S t e e l's editors have just about
decided the proverbial one-armed
paper hanger is nothing but a
good-for-nothing lowdown loafer
who never did a day’s work in
his life.
O f course, these 22
gentiemen and one attractive
young
lady
(count
’em !)
w ouldn’t very well fili the role
of paper doli editors, lounging
coiafortably in their swivel chairs
and dum m ying up stale news
w ith their pastepo: and shears.
A m inim um of 1000 man hours
of editorial w orking time goes
into every issue of S t e e l — w ork­
ing hours spent out digging for
news that’s fresh. W e claim the
7c you or your company pays each
week for the fuli time services
of these 22 gentiemen (and one
attractive young lady) is the
w orld’s greatest investment. Does
anyone want to argue the point?

it’s always just as good a bet
that he will be visiting a steel or
brass mili down East, or a manu­
facturer of drills, screws, leather
belting or what have you. W ith
both a remarkable business acumen and a spirit of neighborliness, Emil believes in going out
and finding out what his suppliers are doing. Occasionally,
he makes us feel good by dropping in and talking things over.
W e remember back here a year
or so ago when he opened a large
plant addition he entertained
over ten thousand people to commemorate the event, and not a
few of them journeyed all the
way from the Atlantic coast to

■ A n d maybe we should raise
the ante one because E. C.
Kreutzberg, w ho incidentally has
accumulated over 30 years’ experience in this field, just wired
us from W ashington that he has
increased your staff there to improve even further the job of reporting the present beehive of
government a c t i v i t y. Lynn
Lam m , S t e e l's head man at the
capital, has been at double time
for months, seven days a week.
For a respite last Sunday he
managed to squeeze in a flying
trip to Cleveland and back.

H Incidentally, Editor Kreu:/berg w ill undoubtedly haye his
expense voucher thoroughly scrutinized for splurging ovcr his allotted ten words in that tele­
gram to tell us that O P M is also

13 T he height of something of
other is achieved by the proposal
to camouflagc a vast airplane as­
sembly' plant at Dallas, T e x „ by
installing a smali golf course on
the roof. W hen a squadron of
Dorniers comes over in echelon
of Vr's and sees a bunch of tired
business men whopping lhe
white pili around, little will. they
know that beneath tee and green
thausands are furiously riveting
together the fucelage members
of a fleet of chasseurs. Other
good disguises for airplane plant
roofs might include football
stadia, second-^rowth timber, outdoor roller rinks, or a desert waste
fuli of transient Okies.
