Probably the first demands of the
average motor car buyer. after he
has satisfied himself as to the mechan»
icai excellence of I car. is concerned
:with riding comfort lie is critical
in his examination of the upholstery.
‘He wants to be sure that the cushv

that fit so snugly that they are abso-
lult‘ly bad-weather proof.
A trip through the various depart-
ments of I big automobile plant

reveals some interesting facts on the
process of building comfort into a
car. The upholstery and top milking
departments perhaps lJPhl illultrate
this future.
Three HidII to I On.
At the Chalmers plant we use three
large cow hides in the leather work
nti t‘H‘l‘y Chalmers Six. Awaiting
tttrli It the cutting tables are
scores of great black hides. draped
over huize racks. The average skin
contains 6.3 square feet of leather and
no hides under sixty feet Ire accept-
ed. Only large western cattle afford
hides large enouirh for this work. All
hides are carefully inlpected Ind must
be absolutely free from defect or blem-
ieh before they will pass muster.
It is not practical to attempt to cut
more than one hide in I single oper-
ation because of the varying quality
and difference in size of the hidel.
After the leather has been cut to the
different patterns, there is left a
large quantity- of small scraps. no mat
ter ho“ carefully planned the cutting.

methods in vogue at the plant. these
