| This picture illustrates why this title has been awarded the Packard Motor Car Company. Here is a Packard vee-type 8-cylinder motor, designed and built for the United States Tank Corps by Packard for the exact purpose for which it is best suited, ie, propelling a ponderous tank where vibration has no part in specifications nor beauty of line and simplicity in design are discussed in the calculation of the result. Packard has no prejudice about motors. |

| As far back as the history of vehicles goes, manufacturers have found it necessary to employ high-priced workmen to stripe and finish the product. Striping was just as good and no better than the disposition of the operator. It remained for Packard to invent, design and patent the simple apparatus illustrated in this picture for striping Packard bodies Picture courtesy of Roscoe Stelford. |

| In this department the motors, 82 at a time, are limbered up, being driven by an electric motor for a minimum of 9 hours. They are then placed on a dynamometer rack where they, in turn, drive a motor carrying an electrical resistance. Here the horsepower, compression of each cylinder and general perfection of the motor are determined. |

After they are assembled, they are placed on this continuously moving line and come from the assembly room into an especially constructed silence chamber where experienced and very competent men adjust them for tooth bearing. Perfection in differential assembly-, as in the manufacture of other parts of an automobile,, comes only through deep study and much experience. |
