In no particular does there seem TO.
be greater difference than I'm the num-
Der Of fan blades used. While the less
number Of blades can doubtless 90 the
work by employing a slightly increased
speed. the majority Of fan users seem
10 prefer a fan with several blades. Ia
the Jeffery is found fan Of the sero-
plane type. having but two blades and
making very neat appearance. IL IL
OF aluminium and very light and free
from vibration. Whether because OF
its superior cooling or for some other
reason. the intake manifold and eN-
haust manifold join IN soch way that
much Of the exhaust heat is given TO
the incoming fresh charges. and with
great gain in economy and efficiency.
A noticeable feature Of the Chevrolet
S. the double quarter elliptic springs
used In front. These are attached one
under and the other over the axle,
which arrangement prevents rolling OF
trc axle and detection Of the steering,
.,lile in no way bOthering the spring
action. The recr springs are o. the
cantilevCr type, which seems 20 be
growing in popularity. 4 novelty is
Cashlight which shows the instruments
ON the cowl board and which can be
pulled out and used 10 attach trouble
light cord for inspection of any par
OF the car. In these days when the
portable kerosene lamp is no longer
found. this feature OF trouble light is
much appreciated.
Hupp Extends Steel Floor.
The Hupmobile, as ever, shows some
very commendable features. Its pressed
steel bottom or floor is continued to
the front seat and results IN getting
the feet of the driver IS low as pos
sible while securing the greatest room
underneath. owing 70 the steel beng
thinner than @ wooden floor. It's pro
peller shaft looks very heavy and
sturdy. but the exhibition chassis shows
a cut one which reveals the fact that
il is tubular. and, therefore, very light
and rigid In the Hupmoblle the. ny
wheel serves as the oil pump, litlng
the oil 10 a height from which II may
flow 10 the various bearings by gravity.
In the Saxon is 10 he found another
example Of sheet steel floor construc-
ton. Covered as these floors are with
linoleum, or carpet of some KIND, It
does not matter 10 the user what the
material is. but with a given clearance
below the floor for the machinery and
for road clearance, the thin steel moor
permits the passengers to SIT closer
70 the ground, and, therefore, less eN-
posed TO the wind and less tossed by
the roughness of the road. novelty
i'm brake operating rods is seen IN the
saxon. which has thin steel ribbons
for this purpose. instead Of the usual
round rods. or. as is sometimes seen,
round cables. The fiat ribbon is hexl-
BILE and amply strong, but not likely 10
break owing 10 vibration.
HAYNES Low in Rear.
The Haynes car shows a frame which
is carried well 10 the rear and very low
at that point, so as to secure a spring
that is nearly straight and that per
mits the rear axle TO rise over the OBJ
.tacles without being forced forward.
Such an arrangement contributes 10
easy riding and passenger comfort, as
we'll IS economic use of power. Inc
new Haynes cylinder motor is
the last word in motor construction
and well worthy examination. Alsles
letween the seats add a convenience
that once enjoyed will always be IN
sisted upon.
The block cylinder seems TO have the
centre of the stage, partly because IL
is cheaper to produce and partly DC
cause Il looks more compact but there
are still some who prefer the single
separate cylinder construction, WIN I's
certainty OF inspection and its ease OF
replacement II cylinder goes wrong.
One of these is the Hertz Brooks, VINO
show engines Of this type both ~ tours
and SKIES. That the wastage Is less IN
the process of manufacture is unques-
toned A faulty spot IN casting
means the rejection of but one cylin-
der. while in a block casting IL means
10 loss Of the whole block. Further
