DROUGHAM PUT OUT
BY MILBURN PLANT

Besides continuing It's model IL
chassis on which roadster and
coupe bodies are fitted, the Milburn
Wagon Company. Toledo, which,
though long IN the vehicle mapufac-
turing business, entered the electric
vehicle industry only a little over
year ago, Is offering for 1915 broug-
ham at Si,5s5 on q new chassis de-
signed Rs model 20. The continued
model IL has been unchanged in con-
struction. Comparing the new chassis
with the earlier design, the chief differ
ences are in the wheelbase, which for
model % is 105 inches, and for model Is,
100 inches, in 3m inches on the model 10.
Tho new chassis. has two more cells
ihon the older type, and the tire
equipment, which is 32 by 3h inches
rs compared with 80 by 314 inches on
the model 10.
In these cars, which have as their
chief features comparatively light
weight and low cost simplicity Is
especially apparent throughout. New
to electric construction previous to
being taken up by MilbuFn. is the
cantilever spring suspension used
both front and rear on the model 15,

General electric motors are used and
the drive is simple in that the drive
shaft ia enclosed within q torsion
tube and is very short. due to the To-
eaton of the motor considerably back
of the center of the car. Straight line
drive Is attained by putting the motor
at the same angle as the shaft. which
terminates in an underneath worm
drive axle which has a direct gear
ratio of 9.T5 to l. This 10 sufficient
reduction to give the motor plenty OF
leeway.
Body work on these cars is excellent
and reflects the long experience of
the Milhuru concern in the vehicle
business. The battery compartme nts
i front and rear are made with the
came panels that form the sides OF
the body proper, and there is an un-
broken smooth curve making the
transition between them. The modern
