A brief description of the physics programs encountered on the tour of the Ford Motor Company Research Laboratories is provided. A visit to the Research Laboratories of the Ford Motor Company is part of the Conference on Physics in the Automotive Industry. The visit will show a cross‐section of the programs in Research Staff which are clearly identified as physics research as well as other areas where physicists have established themselves as dominant or team members in what might traditionally be regarded as the province of engineering R&D. After a brief orientation, the Conference visitors will be divided into tour groups and will visit laboratories involved in combustion research, arc‐discharge physics, various spectroscopic applications, metal gauging, energy management, optical display systems and solar energy research. Synopses of the specific tour visits follow.
