General Motors Makes
Rapid Strides In
Aircraft Production
DKTROIT, Mich.—Increasing evl
d^m-e that air supremacy is neces-
sary to pave the way for Allied ad-
vances highlights the rapid strides of
American Industry in making the na-
tion foremost In the production or
the light metals, from which aircraft
are fabricated. M. K. Coyle, general
manager of the Chevrolet Motor Di-
vision and vice-presideut of^General
Motors Corporation, cited this fact
here today in announcing the divis-
ion's record in the production of
aluminum forgings daring 1943.
In the year, he said, Chevrolet—a
newcomer to the light metals Indus-
try—produced 76,000,000 lbs. of alum
Ilium aircraft forgings, ranging from
engine parts to elght-ft, propeller
blades. At the same time, the divis-
ion's single foundry devoted to the
production of magnesium castings
turned out 2,000,000 lbs of castings
to supply Chevrolet’s — Jarge-scale
Pratt & Whitney aircraft engine pro-
gram.
Introduced to the light metals only
18 months ago. at the request of the
Army Air Forces, Chevrolet gradually
expanded its aluminum forging facil-
ities to become the second largest
producer of these vital aircraft con-
atruction elements.
Bin 1942. Mr. Coyle said, Chevrolet
produced a total of 8.2 millions of
'pounds of these forgings. Thus, the
increase in one year was almost ten-

fold.
Three plants contributed the major-
ity of this output. In November, a
fourth plant was added to increase
aluminum forging caplclty. Mighty
jper cent of the aluminum output and
all "of the -usasnesUiiQ .castings were
produced In Michigan.
Hundreds of different Items con-
stitute the aluminum output of the
Chevrolet forge plants. Mr. Coyle
said, including four propeller blades,
several-different crankcase sections,
tail wheel housings, lauding gear
trunions. air frame units (bracts,
struts, etc.), cylinder head air deflec-
tors, and pistons in volume for sev-
eral type of engines.
One forge plant produces propeller
plades at a monthly rate of more
than 30,000 Individual blades, while
another plant, producing many small-
er types of forgings, has a monthly
out put of approximately 200,000 in-
dividual items,
Eight different magnesium castings
are made at the Chevrolet foundry,
all for inclusion in the Pratt A Whit-
ney aircraft engines built by the dl
vision.
The Chevrolet record in the alum-
inum field was attributed partly to
utilisation of latest types of forging
equipment by Mr. Coyle, who point-
ed out that mechanical and hydraulic
primes- among the largest of their
type ever built—have been acquired
to augment hammer facilities,
“Chevrolet's performance as a pro-
ducer of steel forgings in pre-war
days, Mr. Coyle said, “gave the divis-
ion the neC'ftsary background” foF
quick and efficient conversion to
alinmilium forgings. Our Detroit steel
forge, one of the largest in the world,
is generally recognized for Its win
t dilutions to this manufacturing field.
Despite the varying qualities of.tho
two metals, the change-over to alum-
inum presented no particular diffi-
culty for our experienced metal-
workers."
