HAYNES LIGHT SIX

The new model Haynes IgAl SIX
cylinder car contains many new and
unioue features in automobile design
states John C. Mulkey. THE Haynes
car is the first one in America to
employ the arch fran c obstruction,
which permits the lowering OF the
body and the use Of the extra longg,
54inch underslung elliptic spring in
the rear. The rear seat is as comfor-
table as the front seat
"The speedometer is driven from
gear mounted on the propeller SHAFT
Immediately 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 sepa-
rate unit starting and lighting system
is direct.connected to the crankshaft
of the engine, so that no gears have
| to be shifted into mesh to crank the
engine. T small button on the floor
starts the motor by pressure of the
| foot, and cranks the engine without
| any clashing or disagreeable noises.
"The en- bloc 315" by 5" 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 carburetor is mounted high up on
| the motor and the manifold is dis
pensed with. The intake passages are
entirely surrounded by the warm
water inside the cylinder casting, so
that the gasoline is yaporized and
kept in a gaseous state until it reach
| es the cylinders. This construction,
along with the use of the Rayfeld car
buretor, gives the economical gaso-
two miles per gallon. The vacuum
system of gasoline feed to the carbu-
rotor is used, with a sixteen gallon
supply tank on the rear of the chassis,
where it may be readily filled.
"The magnetic is dispensed with and
the ignition system simplified by us
ing the storage battery current
through a combined timer and distrib-
| utor 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 five passenger touring
| car or a two passenger roadster body
may be had. With the 121 inch wheel
| base, there is generous foot room in
both the forward and rear compart-
ments The battery is placed in a
pressed steel box 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. Stan
dard F irestone rims are regular
equipment:
AN ingenious method of dimming
the headlights is provided. The bulbs
ares pecially treated on the lower
sides only, so that the light reflected
upward is softened and diffused The
upper half of the bulbs is left clear.
so that the rays of light may be re-
Elected straight ahead onto 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 illu-
| minatiOn. but gives an economical
current consumption by cutting IT in
half
"The car weighs but 295O pounds
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
reciprocating parts The number of
moving parts is reduced to the min.
