sion.
The steamer Sierra brought two
Overlands and one Everett. One OF
the Overlands is a thirty horsepower
fore-door. straight line 1912 type five
passenger touring car, and is to be
delivered to DR.. G. Tucker Smith.
The other is twenty-five horsepower
car of the same type, which is to be
used as a demonstrating car. The
Everett is the very latest production
which the factory has made in the
form of a fore-door, four-passenger,
touring car. This car has all the
1912 improvements, including the
1912 Bosch dual system, which Is
vast Improvement over the 1911 mol
els. The Bosch system has veen very
much simplifed, as the barrel of the
coil is very much smaller and there
are not as many wires attached to It
as previously. The old system was
much more complicated than the
new, which is a boon to the automo-
bile repairmen. This car is the
snappiest looking car of its class that
has ever been imported to the
islands and is attracting a great deal
of attention. It has a bloc tyne
motor of foreign design, having the
cylinders and crank case cast in one
piece which obviates all vibration
and is much less liable to accident
such as other cars are exposed to, by
the fact that there are no bolts at
taching the cylinders to the crane
case. A great many of the motors
which are being manufactured il
Europe are patterned after this style
Another of the great advantages 0
this type of motor is the small nun
her Of parts and the ease with whic
the motor may be disassembled iron
the car. The water manifold, intak
and exhaust manifold are also cas-
in the one piece. A person unfamu
lar with this type of motor would eN
pect that if one cylinder wer
cracked it would entail an enormou
expense to replace the same, but tn
truth of the matter is that the crack
are far less liable to occur and tn
cost of a whole new casting is yer
little more than the cost of one ser
arate cylinder of the other type. U
course. these bloc type motors hav
only been found practicable in car
Of thirty horsepower or less. In
Everitt is an exceptionally fast an
powerful car and one of the smooth
est and ouietest cars of its type eve
manufactured.
