Frisco Employe Constructs Money-Saoing Machines i n Springfield Shops

A PROFESSION i s oftentimes handed down from father to son and the only way R. E .

Elick, tool room foreman a t t he Frisco west shops, Springfield, i\Iissouri, can explain his intense interest in design- ing and n~anufactur ing tools and ma- chinery, i s t ha t his father was a manufacturer and designer of ma- chines for the Collins Implement Com pany of Quincy, Illinois, before him.

Mr. Eliclr i s a n inventor of several a t tachments and labor saving device., which he h a s put t o practical use oil t he Frisco machines in the Spring field, and on-line shops.

R. E . Elick's leaning for machinery developed early in life and a t the ag? of 15 h e began his service with the Quincy Plow Company of Quincy. Illinois, a s a blacksmith. His next service was a s a toolmaker a t the Quincy Engine Works, and he also worked for the Webber Gasoline E n - gine Company of Kansas City, and for t he Missouri Pacific a t Osawatomie Kansas , a s a machinist.

H e first came with the F ~ i s c o O I I

October 27, 1918, and began his serv- ice a s a machinist a t the south side shops.

"The photographs you have," he said to the reporter who was inter- viewing him, "are of the different ma- chines and a t tachments which I have designed. Photograph KO. 1 is of a 1 ortable milling machine for milling under the locomotive cylinders, where the truck center casting, bolts to the c? linders, malting a cut of eight inches wide and forty inches long in one section."

The first job of cutt ing with this new machine made a saving for the ccmpany of $600.00.

Photograph No. 2 shows a jacket handing production machine which enables one man to make the three crimps a t one t ime in twenty-five sec- onds. The former time required mas twelve minutes each, with three men required to ass is t in the operation.

Photograph Ko. 3 is a whistle bowl production figu:e for milling trigger

slots. The figure holds two bowls. While one is being milled, the op- era tor is loading one on the other end. The time required for t he op- eration is three minutes each. T h e former t ime was four bowls per hour.

Another machine, show11 in photo- graph No. 4 i s that of a left hand spiral slab milling cutter, 7yc inches diameter by 17 inches long, having a spiral helix lead of 55 inches 56/100. This cut ter was made with a home- made cut ter of end mill type, three lip, 7/16 inch diameter, having re- moved 204 inches of metal, one inch rlecp in cut ter body. The making of this machine instead of buying a sim- i lar one, saved the company about ~200.00.

Most of Elick's evenings a r e spent over a drafting table in his home near Plielps Grove in Springfield, Mis- souri, and when he has the plans per- fected for some new at tachment o r some new machine, h e i inn~edia te ly begins i t s construction in the shops.

A MARK FOR SECTION GANGS

A. N. Nelson, foreman of section 101, Immermere, Texas, doesn't like to see credit for deeds well done go awry. In a letter to .T. L. Adams, former reporter, Nelson says:

"I11 the October Mognzirre I see where William Shoemake challenges any section gang to show a better personal injury record than his gang. It is said in the dlcrgorirrc that his record is a world's record. Well, I don't like to brag, but a s this is a challenge. I am. callinq the tnrn. I harc? not had the slightest injury in nlg gang in 21 months. On January 17, 1925, I had my last accident and that wus to myself. I was off dut:: only one day. I h a w had very few injuries that came as c!ose together as fifteen months and I hnve loaded steel with green men-aa many as three gangs together. I hnve worked from 2 to 15 men and the largest part of thvm wcre xreen men, making it a greater handicap to work under than if I had had experienced men lilw Mr. Shoemake had. I am not brag- ginz. I am stating facts in answer to Mr. Shoemake's challenge. I have loaded steel, unloaded steel, laid steel, handled ties in every way, and have had two motor car accidents without a man injured in any way."

Is this the best record, or are there others on Frisco Lines? The ~l . ln (~n i i re will he glad to print similar 1)erform- ances.

STRAWBERRY MEETINGS Thirty-seven meetings were held in

Ozarlc towns on Frisco Lines, Octo- ber 18 to T;ovember 3 , inclusive, in the interest of increased strawberry production, under the auspices of the Alissouri College of Agriculture, co- operatiug with the Mountain Grove Ex1:eriment Station, the Oxark Fruit Crowers' Assuciation and the agri- cultural department of Frisco Lines.

The meetings were held mainly to slimulate interest a t the stations where the industry is new. Among the many subjects discussed, great intcrest was shown in those pertain- ing to thc plantil~g, carc and man- agement of strawberry fields; factors in production that make lor cluality; :~gencies and metl~ods for marketing snlall fruits; the railroad's interest in strawhcrry growin,? and successful co- o].c>ruti\-e marliclting.

D. 19. Eicher, horticultural agent for thc Grisco, attended each meeting autl esl~i'essed the iuterest which the Frisco has in this industry which has brought such great returns to Lhc p1.oi1ucer.

"Wc are expecting 3,000 cars o i strawberries from the Ozarks next season," a'. L. English, supervisor of agriculture and refrigeration an- uounced. "interest has heen aroused and the main purpose of these meet- ings, was to educate the men who had new fields in the up-to-date method of marketing and caring for the plants."

SMALLEST ENGINE BUILT (C'orrti~rrfcd fro111 Pcrge 41)

EverGrip Wrench Company of Chi- cago.

Hc is an authority on radio and has built a number of sets, with which he has picked up stations in Glasgow, Scotland and Belfast, Ireland, Cuba and Canada.

The little engine has attracted quite a great deal of attention in Springfield and especially in the vi- cinity of' the Estes' home, 457 South Rroadway, and the children of the ncighborhood pick up extra money running it on the streets with red c,oaster wagons hitched on behind, a liiddie ill each wagon holding a plac- caul of some firm of Springfield.

Advertising with the smallest steam cngine in the world has bought inany a botile of pop besides being fireat sport for those who ride.

Nr. Estes' sons are proficient in the ar t of "engineering" the little model through the streets a ~ ~ d it would not run true to form should onc of the four fail to turn out to be a me- chanic.nl genius.
