Progressive Assembly in a Washing-Machine Factory

Abstract In this paper the author tells of mold- and sand-handling equipment as installed in the aluminum and gray-iron foundry of a washing-machine plant. Conveyors were used also between the various grinding, polishing, and finishing operations with good results. For the assembling operations inter-related conveyors are used to bring the various parts together. In the spray-painting department conveyors and continuous ovens are used.
