Riding Qualities

The Investigator suppose easy riding depends on the springs?
 The Demonstrator- Springs important, but there are other things. Between you and the road there five different features in the Odsmobile which contribute to your comfort
 Beginning at the bottom the first is the Wheel base This should be long enough to prevent any see-saw motion, which is so disagreeabe in some cars. Then there is the Size of Wheels and Tires;- the biggest factor of all because springs built can make a mawheeed, under-tred com- fortable. Small wheels drop into depressions and climb out, or bounce out again. The big 38-inch wheels of the Oldsmobile 'Autocrat,o of the Az inch wheels of the 6cylnder Limited, ;" bridge these Impressions.
 We were the first among the prominent ufacturers to realize that larger wheels and tires not only gave longer tire service but much easier riding qualities. The 1911 Oldsmobiles are admittedly
 the best tired cars in America Springs come next. Kind, size and quality all important
 The Investigator -Three-quarter eliptcs the rear notice. Some cars still have half eliptcs springs, haven't they?
 The Demonstrator- es but it is impossible to make the half-eliptic spring easy riding as the three-quarter spring Three-quarter eiptcs have the necessary strength and resistance to the push of the driving shaft against the axle, while giving the desired residence.
 The fourth feature is the shock-absorber equip ment A Truffault Hartford at each of the four springs. / The Investigator If springs are good, what's the use of shock absorbers?
 The Demonstrator- a spring is suddenly de- pressed the shock -absorber gently checks it's down ward movement, then checks the re- bound also and allows it to recover, without jouncing the passen- gers.
 Last of all are the seat cushions and the spiral springs beneath them. These cushions are un- usually deep and comfortable; we use extra long curled hair in the tufting. The spiral springs are of fine quality, and enameled, to prevent rusting Now if you will take the seat. will show you just how these five factors all work together to produce real luxury in a motor car. (To the driver: fKeep on the cobble- stones and all the tracks.'0 A succession of small jolts such you feel in city driving especially in small car like a taxcab is very fatiguing to the nerves The Investigator-M wife has noticed that The Demonstrator- you yourself are uncon- sciously affected by it. But these 38 by 415-inch tires just roll over the tops of the paving stones CTo the driver, 'Eake that next crossing at right angles, without slowing up.) That was real test No car can possibly give pleasure and comfort year in and year out, unless it is an easy riding And no car can be very durable, whatever it's materials, unless 1t is easy riding

So much has been written and said
pertaining to the great benefits from
the use Of the road drag that many
people beginning the use of it become
discouraged before they are well start

heavy traffic, for there is no doubt
that the time saved to light vehicles
