HAYNES NEW MODEL
HAS THE ARCH FRAME
The New Light Six Also Has Start
ing Devise Direct to Crank
Shafts Without Gears

The new model Haynes light six
cylinder car contains many new and
unique features in automobile design"
states George G. Mcfarland, president
of the Harrisburg Automobile Com
pany. The Haynes car is the first one
in America to employ the arch frame
construction, which permits the low
ering of the body and the use of the
extra long, 54-inch underslung elliptic
spring in the rear. The car seat is as
comfortable as the front seat
The speedometer is driven from a
gear mounted on the propeller shaft
imm ediately behind the unit power
plant, where the driving and 'pinion
gears are protected from the mud and
dirt of the road. This feature insures
long life and quiet running of the
gears.
The starting motor of the separate
unit starting and lighting system is
direct-connected to the crankshaft of
the engine. A small button on the
floor starts the motor by pressure of
the foot and cranks the engine with
out any clashing or disagreeable
noises.
The en- bloc three and a half by
five inch siX-cylinder motor is very
flexible, and the car can be driven
from one mile per hour to sixty miles
per hour on direct drive. The carbu-
rotor is mounted high up on the motor
and the manifold proper is dispensed
with. The intake passages are en-
tirely surrounded by the warm water
inside the cylinder casting, so that the
gasoline is vaporized and kept in n
gaseous state until it reaches the
cylinders. This construction, along
with the use of the Rayfield carbure-
tor, gives the economical gasoline con-
sumption of twenty to twenty-five
miles per gallon. The vacuum system
of gasoline feed to the carburetor is
used, with sixteen gallon supply tank
on the rear of the chassis where 1t may
be readily filled.
THE magnetic is dispended with and
the ignition system simplified by using
1.-THE storage battery current through a
com bined timer and distributor on the
generator.
THE full streamline body is pressed
out of sheet steel and the seams are
electrically welded to form a single
piece. substantial and rigid construc-
tion. The crowned tenders add much
to the elegance and refinement of the
car. The top is of the one-man type.
Either a Ave passenger touring car or
a two passenger roadster body man be
had. With the 121-inch wheel base,
there Is generous foot room in both the
forward and rear compartments. The
Immediately below the floor in the
rear compartment where it may be
readily reached. The running boards
are entirely clear
"A special feature provided for the
drivers convenience Is the strapless
device for carrying the extra rim and
tire at the rear end of the chassis.
One bolt only securely locks the rim
in position. and when loosened, allows
the rim to be slid off at once. Stand
ard Firestoue rims are regular equip
ment.
IAN ingenious method of dimming
the headlights is provided. The bulbs
are specially treated on the lower sides
only, so that the light reflected up
upper half of the bulb is left clear,
so that the rays of light may be
reflected straight ahead into the road.
For close, congested districts the
lamps may be further dimmed by be-
ing switched into series at the cowl
control. This action not only elimi-
mates all glare by reducing the ilu-
current consumption by cutting 1t in
half.
THE car weighs but 1850 younds.
This light weight has been made pos
sible by the simplified design, the use
of drop forgings in place of the heavy
castings. and the use of lighter reci-
procating parts. The number of NOV
ing parts is reduced to the minimum.
'The Haynes Is one of the few light
skies that has piston type oil pump,
a centrifugal pump for forced water
circulation, and an engine driven tire
pump. The car is equipped with q
three plate dry disc clutch lined with
raybestos, and full floating rear axle
with axle shafts, pinion and pinion
shaft of nickel steel. The car sells for
$1,4S5 fully equipped, and from all
indications, promises to be the most
popular model on the market this sea-
son.
