Serious minded engineers at the Ford plant, Dearborn, Mich., are playing with "toys" these days but
not for fun, To gain a more 'accurate analysis of space needs of machines and operations than is
possible in blueprints or sketches, three-dimensional, miniature plant layouts are being created. Wood-
working craftsmen make models, to scale of 1/4 -inch to the foot, of machines, assembly lines, men,
ars and trucks—every item, even drinking fountains, that uses space in the actual plants, Photos
above show 'how it is'done.

EMERGENCY BOMBER FI.FET
Workmen apply "cocooning" plastic to a giant B-29 Superfort at Warner -Robins field near Macon, '
Ga, --a now method of storing the big bombers. Army is storing 1500 this way as insurance against
emergency. Five coats of plastic, each a different color so missed spots can be readily detected1
make a skin tougher than rawhide. After sealing, slits are cut and the inside of the "cocoon" is
dehydrated. The operation leaves a package good for at least four years. In addition to the 1500
stored away, Army will keep 3000 bombers and 3000 other planes in operation in '70 groups.
