THIS IS AUTOMATION m an To American industry, the subject of automation is of prime interest today. A relatively new word, the principle was first applied 175 years ago. Since then, the idea of continuous automatic production has de\'eloped until such di\-erse products as pretzels and engine blocks are made entirely by this method. In presenting the story of automation to American businessmen, to show how it can be employed by small as well as large factories, in whole or in part, General Electric has sponsored the motion pictin-e, "This is .Automation," in which a continuous flow of ideas produces a new concept of this subject's importance.
