| | American Metal Market: GM may tool up for V-6 engine |
 | | It has been learned, however, that the development work on the engine and C-P-C's efforts to get the V-6 approved for production are being headed by Joseph F. Bertsch, chief engineer, advanced powertrains, for the GM group, and David A. Martens, manager, 3200 engine design. |
 | | The 3200 engine program is extremely important to machine tool builders, because it indicates that the auto industry is stepping up its plans for new products that require brand new metal cutting, assembly and testing eqquipment in large amounts. |
 | | It is understood, however, that the 3200 Series engine is considerably different from the 2.8-liter unit in design, and will require new machining, assembly, testing and parts-handling equipment, as well as loading and unloading devices, computers and controls to automate and monitor the production system. |
