CENTER CONTROL BIG FEATURE
Every day We are being more and
more impressed by the wisdom of our
action in adopting center control for
our cars" said Vice President G. w.
Bennett, OF the WHY'S Overland Co.,
OF Toledo. Ohio, in a recent discussion
of mid.season Developments IN the
automobile industry. "The hundreds
of enthusiastic communications we
are receiving on the efficiency, acces-
sibility and ease of operation Of our
center control has proved to- aus that
we. made no mistake when we were
pioneering in this construction fea.
ture. We receive many compliments
on the center control feature.
"This is only natural, too, for every
motor car wNe will readily admit
that the center is the only logical To-
cation for emergency brake and
change speed levers. They are al
ways directly under the hand OF the
driver. 1t is not necessary to bend
either forward or sideways at all to
reach the levers, and their position
IN the center Of the car is vastly ST.
perior to the side, either inside or
outside the fore door.
mechanically, too, the center is the
best position. Thus the series of con.
Meeting rods necessary in side con-
struction are eliminated and there is
a direct connection between the levers
and the brakes and transmission
gears. A much more sturdy and de.
pendable action is ensured by this
construction, a highly important fea-
ture in crowded city streets, where
frequent and rapid speed changes are
necessary. on hills or rough roads.
Another of the great advantages gain
ed by center control is the fact that
both forward doors Of the a are left
clear for ingress and egruss. There is
no necessity for walking around the
car, often in mud, snow or slush, in
entering or leaving"
