OPPOSED TO The
CREOIT SALES PLAN
(By r. II. COLLINS.)

General salesmanager Buick Motor
company
There is a serious menace to the
whole automobile industry and a
grave danger to the automobile deal
er in too great spread of the install
ment plan feature in buying motor
cars. l can see no necessity for such
n selling plan in these times OF pros
porous business, and feel that the in
PRODUCTION and encouragement of the
scheme is perhaps due to over-anXiety
on the part of certain manufacturers
to market their this years output.
1t Is my opinion that no greater
calamity can ultimately oVertake the
automobile business. including the
manufacturer, the dealer and the in
dividual buyer than for the leading
factories to adopt a deferred payment
sales plan, and / cannot believe that
the leading manufacturers are really
giving serious consideration to such
plan.
The installment plan of buying is
Fundamentally wrong. regardless or
the articles involved. This is especial
lv true as applied to automobiles. The
business was started on a
cash basis. 1t is the only big business
that has ever been operated on a cash
principle, and in my judgment the

are certain changes in design neces-
sary IN an axle not having a differen-
tial. The Sheldon Axle x Spring Co.
mas been experimenting with axles
from which tho Cifferential has been
eliminated with satisfactory results.
IL Is necessary to use stronger axle
CrlNe shafts where the diffeIcntial is
ieit out than where II is used.
The question of additional tire wear
without differentlal naturally ap-
loais as the first objection to leaving
the differential out. On analysis this
dilticulty docs not seem So serious.
For example: the sharpest turn
lnade by motor vehicle in service IL
OF about 20 feet radius, and very
teW turns are made as sharp as this.
the majority of deviations from the
straight line being 100 feet or more
IN radius. Taking the extreme case,
imagine a vehicle with 34-inch tires
making turn at 20 feet radius. Turn
ing through n right angle the inner
wheel will be 20 feet from the center
OF turning and the outer wheel "a
feet inches. so the distance travelled
by the inner wheel in making the
lrn will be 15.7 feet and that COW
cred by the outer wheel 1913 feet.
Now the 34-inch wheel covering these
distances will, 4 rolling freely. make
l.16 and 2.16 revolutions, the differ
ence being a fcvolutions. 1t is still
a mooted point as to which wheel
docs most Of the slipping under these
but II Is safe to as
sumo that It will be mainly the inner
wheel. The slipping. of course
ca uses some wear. Turning to the
ther case. whore n differential IL
fitted, 1t is not possible to calculate
the slip.
The reason that the solid axle re-
duces the tendency to skid when
raling is becausc either rear wheel
must continue revolving II the other
IS turning. If one wheel rests on n
wet patch and the other is on dry
road. that on the wet can be made to
ock by n light application of the
brake Directly a wheel ceases to
revolve and begins to slide /: Is use

along the road which offers the lesat

1ition of the surface cause the locked
wheel to try to follow tortuous
