TWO NEW LOZIER MODELS
Long Stroke Adopted for 1911
Cars-Other improvements.

The Lozier company will build two new
models for the season of 1911. These will
be four-cylinder car OF rs horsepower
and a sfx-cylinder car of 81 horsepower.
The motor OF the former has a bore of
5ss inches, with 6-inch stroke; the latter
bore of as inches. with a 51a-inch stroke.
They are known as types As and 81, and
according to American League of Automo-
bile Manufacturers rating they develop
Is and 81 horsepower respectively Both
motors will develop over rs actual brake
horsepower.
The most notable change in the motors
Of the new cars is the adoption of the
long stroke, this being the latest practice
in motor construction which has been
found TO produce the best results The
ignition system. as heretofore, is double,
operated by Bosch high tension magnetic
and storage battery.
Inc bearings of the crank shaft, cam
shafts. pump shaft. magnetic shaft. as we'll
as all shafts in the transmission and diff
ferentlal, are mounted on imported annular
ball bearings.
Inc universal use of ball bearings in the
motor renoers the splash system of oiling

an automatic gear driven pump although a
pump within easy reach of the drivers
hand enables the operator to srnnlv add,-
uonal fabrication at high speeds
Among the special features to be noted
this year Is compression release operating
on the exhaust valves

the frame, has four speeds and q Reverse

1he rear axle is Of the fuIl-Aos-ine +vna
ana there is only one universal Joint in the
ehtfe driving system of the car. it being
located within the rear housing of the
transmission case, where il is inclosed in
dust-proof rigid case.
Inc brake system of the Lozier models
comprises two sets Of powerful rear wheel
brakes The gasolene tank, suspended un-
DER the rear of the chassis, has a capacity
u thirty gallons, and gasolene is driven TO
the carhuretor by automatic air pressure
Inc gasolene line is fitted with a water
separator and strainer
Inc frame is Of alloy steel. heat-treated
IN lead with an arched rear and narrowed
'front.' the latter enabling the car to be
turned in remarkably narrow radius
The steering wheel control group forms
an interesting feature. The steering wheel
itself consists OF an aluminium casting
covered with polished, corrugated hard
rubber rim. Underneath the steering wheel
is an electric switch, placing the battery
system, magnetic system and cut-out with

mating in ball and socket joints, are now
fitted with bronze bushings the rear end
encircling the rear axle. Wheels are So

IN diameter. rear tires inches in diameter
and all models are regularly equipped with
Continental demountable rims.
The two chassis types-46 four-cylinder.
and type 81. six-cyltnder-wil be built to
receive various styles of bodies of alu-
ninum construction. The seven-passenger
touring car will. as heretofore, be one of
the standard models and will be built with
doors in front as well as at the tonneau
entrances.
The Briarcliff, or toy tonneau model one

placed On the market, will be continued as

The Lakewood model, which is the name
given the torpedo type Of car by the Lo-
zier Motor Company, was the first stock
car of the fore-door type built in this
country. Only a limited number of these
were turned out last year, but for 1911 this
car will be one Of the leaders in the Lozier
line Two types Of closed cars are built,
limousine and landauiet
The cars are regularly equipped with five
lamps. Prest-O-lite tank, tire carriers foot
rest. robe rail- complete set of tools and
extra demountable rims. The dash lamps
and tail lamps are a combination oil and
electric, the storage battery having unus-
ually large amperage, with sufficient ca
pacity for operating the motor. lights and
KlaXon horn. All lamps are finished in
dull black by the Bausch & Lorn5 patent
system.
