An instance of the precision manu-
facturing methods employed by the
Chevrolet Motor Company is seen in
a statement today that 5,162 separate
inspectors enter into the building of
every motor for a Chevrolet car. So
insistent is the company on accuracy
in both materials arid workmanship
that one man in six at the giant Chev-
rolet Motor plant at Flint, Michigan,
is an inspector.
