signed practically 1dentica1 with tne
four-cylinder cars with the exception
Of the motto" and, of course, a longer
w~heelbase. The six-cylinder motor is
the same motor which has been en-
ployed in the construction of the
Stutz f~our-cylinder cars during the
and shorter stroke. 1t has a bore AZ
inches with a 5-inch stroke-capable
of developing over 60-horsepower on
block test. The bore and stroke
ratio is not extreme, being designed
to give maximum power. at the same
time eliminating vibration and MAX
ing an exceptionally quiet and smooth
running motor.
The six motor is of the T-head
type with cylinders cast in pairs, and
has the same desirable features as
on the four-cylinder motor in the
Stutz cars during the past year, such
as hollow crank-shaft oiling system,
large valves, ample water Jackets,
four bolt connecting rods and with
four bearing crank-shaft.

The siX-cylinder roadster will have
a wheelbase of 124 inches, beautiful
torpedo body with inside control and
with plenty of leg room. The body
is extra wide and exceedingly COM
Portable. The roadster is equipped
With = 10 ,.pO opoIt,,+ ra,41s,a o~1
oil tank on the rear deck, also a
trunk for luggage and tire irons for
spare tire.
This car has a wheelbase of 100
inches, long enough for a roomy six
passenger car. In designing this body
there has Deer employed a full tor
pedo straight line body, low. rakish
and with not only plenty of leg room
for the driver, but also an extremely
large tonneau built to carry four
passengers-by means of addition of
two auxiliary seats. For touring par
ties of four people these seats may be
removed, making a four-passenger
car with ample space in the tonneau
for luggage and touring equipment.
The upholstery is deep and luxu-
rious and cushions are extra thick
and with long flexible springs
The body has a graceful sweep in
the rea and is perfectly balanced.
For the model B Stutz there Is a
Stutz special design of transmission
! and rear axle. The transmission is
larger in every way-larger gears and
larger bearings. The transmission
ase is heavier. The general design
of the transmission is the same as has
been used in the Stutz real system
for the past five years.
The rear axle is larger, than for
merly. The d%ifferential case being
about two inches larger in diameter
The axle shafts are supported at the
differential end by tapered roller bear.
ings which not only carry the load
but also take up the end thrust. The
outer ends of the axle shafts are car.
ried by large annular bearings, this
type of construction being employed
by some Of the highest grade Of for
eign and American cars. The axle has
squared ends for the rear wheels, in.
stead of the wheels being keyed on
and with a round taper fit to hold
wheels tight. Axle shafts "a be re-
moved by simply taking off the bear
ing retainer, thus obviating the neces-
sity of taking down the differential to
remove the axles.
An outside adjustment has been
provided for adjusting the mesh of the
drive pinion and bevel gear. By re-
moving two small plates off both sides
of the differential cas- an adjusting
collar can be reached TO move the
drive gear in either direction.
All model B Stutz cars are equipped
with the Esterline electric generator.
with storage battery. for lighting the
headlights and. also side and tail
lamps. which are combination oil and
electric. Ammeter is located on the
dash.
The Esterllne generator is connected
directly to the water pump shaft, do
Ing away with any troublesome belt
or chain.
The current generated is automat-
lcally regulated. When the lights are
turned off the current is reduced to
an amount which will not injure the
battery. When the lamps are lighted
the current developed instantly in
creases. thereby supplying the current
required at all times.
There are no adjustments Of any
kind, in fact no provision for adjust
ments. They are not necessary.
1t is an engine speed generator.
The only wearing parts are the bear
ings, the brushes and the commute
tors. and these parts are long lived,
owing to the slow speed of the gener-
ator.
Before adopting this electric light
Ing system, exhaustive tests OF the
construction and efficiency of the Es-
terline generator were made and no
doubt it is going to give absolute sat-
isfaction to Stutz owners.
The company continuing, in series
B, fotr-cylinder cars, using the same
motor that was employed so success
fully for the past year--4Ax5h T-head
with 2h-inch valves. In fact there
have been no changes whatever in
the construction except that the in
take manifold Is of copper and is
jacketed for hot water to warm the
mixture before 1t enters the cylinders.
The oil gauge Is located on top of
the crank case between the cylinders
plainly visible from either side. The
four arms Of the crank case are To-
Gated at the extreme ends to avoid
any possible vibration.
