"StOddard- Dayton" Models for 1911

\. All the Stoddard- Dayton SOS and 40s are
equipped with the double ignition system OF
Bosch D4 magnetic and Bosch battery hav-
ing two sets of spark plugs upon opposite
sides of the motor. Neatness and simplicity
is thus carried to an impressive state by
removing from the dash everything save the
gasoline and oil pressure dials and the small
cover of the synchronous coil, in the center
Of which Is the self-starter button.
The spring equipment Is semi elliptic front
and three-quarter elliptic rear; same as last
year but very much heavier and with less
arch, in the design. Shock absorbers are
regular equipment on the $50" models.
The French type OF rear wheel is used on
the SOS and 4Os, every other spoke being
bolted to the brake drum; spokes much
larger, and braking surface materially in
creased ut
All the ESQ.," 40" and $50" models are
equipped with No. 2 Universal Q. D. de-
mountable rims, and one extra rim is fur
niShed. The front axle Is an I-beam, drop
forging, but of new design which brings
the body OF the car much lower to the
ground.
In the brake system all connecting rods
are now placed on the inner side OF the
frame. Accessibility TO all parts has been
carried to a supreme degree. There is alb
solutely nothing in the way to interfere with
getting directly at either the transmission
case or the front or rear universal. No
cables, brake rods or connections of any
kind are over these parts, nor even between
the cross members supporting these parts.
This Is an achievement in designing that
will meet with the ready approval Of every
notorist who has ever had occasion to get
at the mechanism Of his car.
Every point requiring fabrication. and all
parts OF the motor not automatically taken
care Of by the self-contained oiler, has been
nr0viHAd with "a grease ciin While rfat1ch In 3
genuity has been exercised In placing these
grease cups SO as to bring them within i
easiest reach
The lines of all the body designs tend to-
ward extreme simplicity. This striking effect
is further enhanced by the running board
tool-boxes, which do away with all unsightly
battery boxes. gas tanks. etc, that 81 eatly

All of our Tops are made OF silk Mohair

The motor IN the "Stoddard- 90" models
is also OF the L-head type, with cylinders
