Perhaps the most Interesting fea-

and tested every nut and bolt They
made each car undergo standard
test OF clutch and brakes. Whenever
the least symptom Of looseness was
FOUND, point or more was deducted
from the cars score.
! There were instances OF deficient
brakes. sagged springs, miscellaneous
small parts lost on the road and loose
nuts and bolts. One car WAS carrying
a loose body, and another finished
with cracked water jacket. All the
cars suffered from penalties. some OF
the instances totaling over 100 points

criticism.

the Studebaker averaged 25.5 miles
