DOUBLE FRICTION
DRIVE, LATEST

Ever since the manufacture OF auto
mobiles began few FEARS ago. me-
chanical engineers and experts have
been trying to apply friction In prac-
tical manner for the purpose OF trans-
hitting power from the motor to the
driving wheels.
Mr.. Seitz, the inventor OF the Seitz
Double Friction Transmission, after
1--WE years OF arduous experimenting,
believes he has finally solved the prob
lem of the mechanical age.
In the Seitz Double Friction Trans
mission. a metal friction disc is mount
ed ON a shaft, driven by the meter fy-
wheel, and being slidable. Two sets
of tarred fibre friction wheels are
mounted on cross shafts, and are
brought in contact with the friction
disc by means of eccentric boxes and
lever connections. These friction
wheels are placed Numerically oppo-
site each other. Tho disc and fric.
ton wheels being slidable reward each
other, when the friction Is applied,
there is absolutely equal pressure on
each side OF the disc. which entirely
eliminated all end thrust, side pres
sure. and improper bearing.
A foot pedal Is used to bring the
SPEED change friction wheels In con-
tact with the edge Of the disc, slight
pressure with the toe tending to In
crease speed and a pressure with the
heel to decrease speed. This makes
the speed changing device practically
automatic and saves great deal Of IL
Dor for the driver.
There is only one lever used In this
transmission and this lever Ii used
for forward, reverse, neutral and en-
Urgency brake. 1t Is the only trans
mission which uses only one lever.
With seven passenger touring car
equipped with the Seitz transmission.
thorough test covering about 1000
miles was made over some OF the
toughest roads in the country, and the
car today Is in perfect condition.
This new transmission has been
thoroughly tested In a 5-ton truck.
built especially to test it, Also q spe-
cial engine OF the 4-cycle 4-cylinder
type. with finch bore and 10-inch

results exceeded all expectations.

The first annual meeting of the Rocky
Mountain club OF New York, an orSani-
cation Of western men in the east. was
held at the new club rooms in the Knick-
erbocker hotel, New York. recently. The
report of John Hays Hammond. president,
showed that one year ago the club start
ed with a membership of seven, and to-
day has $50 members.
When the club was organized it was
thought wise to provide a fund to insure
the financial success of the club. An I'M
derwriting syndicate was formed. which
subscribed TO a guarantee fund of $4,000.
The president of the club reported that it
had not been necessary to call upon the
guarantors for any assistance. Instead of
having to borrow money during its first
year, the club has been able to pay its
way and now has a comfortable surplus
with which to carry out its work of pro-
noting good fellowship among western
men in the east, and of furthering the in
terests of the western states in the east
II was decided TO increase the number of
directors from seven to fifteen so as to
give each western section a representative
on the board
1t was decided to have a weekly gath
