Vance, Chairman of the Board. These tools will replace those taken from assembly lines to make room for war work. , With additional capacity in new. machine tools, Studebaker can re¬ sume car production without interfering with current manufacture of airplane engines, Mr. Hoffman declared. Mr. Vance added that a sur¬ vey had been made of auto accessory manufacturers and tentative arrangements made with alternate suppliers in case those chosen first are still filling war contracts. This problem is simplified, Mr. Vance explained, by the fact that 80% of Studebaker's present subcontractors were associated with it in automobile work prior to 1942. 160, p. 572.
