NEW FLOATING REAR AXLE.
Is Predominating Feature in the
New go" Overland.

Predominant among the changes and I'M
provements which are Incorporated IN the
new Overland 3O-horsepower car is a
three-quarter floating rear axle. which
has a number of important advantages
over the semi-fioatng rear axle design
used in most cars of low or medium price.
In the Overland three-auarter rear axle
the load is carried on the axle housing,
which Is reinforced by an inner steel tube,

The rear wheel roller bearings run on a
portion Of the hardened seamless steel
tube. which projects from the axle hous-
ing on either side. AS a consequence, the
differential bearings and wheel bearings
do not come in contact with the axle
drive shaft which is of special heat
treated chrome nickel Steel and only has
to turn the wheels. THE differential bear
ings, therefore. have to bear only their
own stresses, and the elastic Hyatt bear
ings carry the rear load Of the car.
There are other points in favor of the
new Overland axle. In the semi-foating
rear axle considerable trouble is often
caused by the differential grease leaking

Two Important Features.

Two of the important features in COM
mercial car service are longest life and
lowest upkeep cost. 1t is claimed by the
makers Of this truck that as the result
of the intelligent use of the best ma
terials and the application of quality to
every detail in workmanship and design
it has won the approval of the CONNER
cial car user.
The Peerless Motor Transfer Company
is composed Of G. II. Coale. NJ. c. Bur

interested in the expansion of the truck
business in this city. H. w. Petit will
