...like a giant's roller skate (see cut), the Marsh Buggy has an ordinary Ford V-8 motor coupled to a McCormick Deering tractor gear box and mounted on an expanded automobile frame. The four wheels are air-tight aluminum drums on which are mounted the largest rubber tires ever made for commercial use. Designed by Goodyear, they are 10 ft. high, 3 ft. wide, have a normal pressure of 6 lb. per sq. in. Both axles are pivoted so that each wheel can rise two feet without distorting the frame.

The speed of assembly and subassembly lines is not that pictured by Charlie Chaplin in Modern Times. Chief complaint is not the monotony of putting a washer on a bolt or a tire on a wheel eight hours on end but a peculiar nervousness which comes from having to do it within a limited time, even if that time is liberal.
