THE AUTOMOBILE WORLD

special runabout with a special body flatter and lighter. looking than usu- al adjustable pedels, trunion-hung radiator and torsion rod with spe- cial T-head attachment at the rear end are also noticeable.
 The Corbin cars offer the purchaser a choice of air or water cooled, the
 air cooling device being specially well worked out and being one of the very few of the better class of air cooling
 devices. Steel combs are applied to
 the cylinders and carry off the heat rapidly as we'll as being safe from breakage and allowing free access of the air. removable differential and webbed rear axle housing are
 also to be seen.
 In the Moon cars the rear axle housing is supported by a double ] trusting which although leaving great clearance secures the desired strength. The transmission is of the rear unit type carried at the differential with
 simple shifting devices. The flywheel employs fan blades practice which
 seems to be growing. The chassis shown has the engine cylinder sec- toned so the interior construction and operation can be seen just as is being shown at number of other booths such as the Franklin, Cadillac l and Speedwell. At the Amplex booth is to be seen | the big four-cylinder cycle engine which is being watched by engineers from all sides. This car and the E1-
 more and Atlas smaller, cars stand 1 for the simple type of engine invent | ed by DugaId Clerk, England's great | ed by many users since. The 2-eycle l type of engine has but few parts and while some think it not so economic of fuel as the usual type, this is to l be attributed to the manner in which l it has been made up in the earlier years. As now made and used by 1 the Atlas, Amplex and Fillmore, it is certainly free from objection and well l worthy of consideration. The Amplex l also uses the rear unit transmission l as in the Moon, Marmon and others Adjustable pedals, a handy brake ad- l oped carburetor should not be over 1 looked.
 The Marmon cars have always been l at the front in flexibility, power and
 strength. The broad trussed and
 webbed rear axle housing looks am l clutch leather is adjustable to secure
 easy and smooth engagement without l shock and the clutch is of the cone
 variety and amply large. One novel l and attractive feature is the mount l ing of the horn on the steering col | right finger tips ready for instant use
 without taking off the hands. The horn tube is not the flexible variety, | but is a solid polished tube running down the column and piped to the
 horn which is placed just behind the l radiator under the hood where it is out of the way and does not get dir 1 ty nor need cleaning.
 1 The LoZier Six has an especially mo- 1 ticeable lot of little kinks which add
 much to the users comfort. Thus the l cut out has catch to hold it open so | is on the steering column in {, easy reach. The front of the radiator car 1 ries a push handle to hold the valves 1 open for easy starting and another to 1 flood the earburetor and make the l mixture rich instead of priming. A l to the hand throttle as is common on l many foreign cars. Two sets of plugs and sources of current are provided
 as on the Mercedes. except that one | of them only is magneto.
 l The Fillmore booth show the most This has the differentia1 or double l sized piston which does the compress l ing instead of the crank case. Down i in the case is a rotary valve which | both admits the mixture and trans- | fers it to the proper cylinder. The
 
 making great strides forward cannot l but be much interested in this novel and practical device. Natural circu- l lation is used which adds to the sim plicity. Adjustable pedals help to | fit the car the user as in the Mercer and many others.
 The Premier people have four cyl- l finder chassis at their space and also have a vermillion finished torpedo l touring car fitted with a Jones map | that attracts much attention. The | Cadillac people are so careful to edu- cate buyers that they have 1ectur- CT at their space. A young woman created some excitement yesterday by starting the engine of a Cadillac car. The gasoline had been taken out of | the tank but there was enough left in the cylinders for the engine to
 make few revolutions when the fair visitor began pushing all the buttons in sight.
 One exhibit always surrounded by | crowd is an enlarged model of Split dorf magnetO, that is driven by an electricmotor to, show it's workings, l while a stand. attendant answers ques- tions about magnetos ant! other igni- | ton apparatus. At the Buick space l on the main floor there is a white enamelled chassis, with it's cylinders cut away and a glass plate over the left side of the crank case, so visitors can see the operation of the engine fabrication system. A Royal Tourist chassis excites lot of com 1 ment, as it has two small differentiai gears mounted on the equalizing bars 1 of the two sets of rear wheel brakes. This has been a feature of the Royal Tourist for three years and has just I been adopted by one of the leading French constructors.
 SAVING THE DOLLARS
 WITH THE BUSINESS WAGON. | CCharles E. Duryea, Special Techni- cal Correspondent for A. L. A. M) The commercial section of the great double show at the Madison Square l Garden which opens Monday night, will present the finest opportunity ev CT given business men to inspect | trucks, delivery wagons, large and small, and make the selection that will save them money by delivering their goods quicker and at less cost l than any other system. Wherever l the horse and mechanical power come into competition the horse has to give way. The rapidly rising price of horses and horse feed, the in creased cost of living and the demand | for more work in a given time and space are all loudly calling for ths
