Car, Plane Makers. G. MOTORS IN FOKKERS,

General Motors I entered aviation by buying a substantial interest In the Fokker Airerazi Corporation.

Mr. Anthony H. G. Fokker, one of the world's leading designers" and Luilders of planes, wil een- finae to be in charge of engineer- ing and design, and the present personnel of the corporation will be retained, supplémented by an General stall from] additional Motors,

One of the Lenefits to aviation will be the use of the huge restareh liuratories of the General Motors Corporation, where engineers with quiring winds spend thousands of pounds annually building d all the wrecking to answer "whys?" of transportation.

Others Are Interested. The entry of General Motors into the production of aircraft is iiilne with nrevious developments. Motor car manufacturers in the U.S.A. are steadily linking up with 'plane manufacturers, because the production, assembly, testing and service methods evolved for cars will be equaily useful for planes, and these same equipment parts may be used by both road and afe velifeles.

The Ford Motor Co., was one of the pioneers of commercial avin- tion, and its 'planen have flown. millions of miles. The Puckar! Co. is producing a nine-cylinder Diesel engine for aerial uss; Con- tinental Motors are also building. 'plane engines, and Lycoming | Motors-which is controlled by the makers of Auburn Care-is experimenting with aerg, engines. In England, the Armstrong Siddeley Co. builds cars and 'plane engines in the same plant.
