The thousands Of pc pie who have
elbowed their way through the crowds
at the Grand Central Palace TO get a
glimpse of the latest creations Of the
automobile engineers art could not but
be impressed by tn unusual amount Of
comfort and convenience which has
been built into this years models.
According 20 Earl McGookin, Of the
Springfield Body Company, this trend
OF motor car development is q natural
one. Uy 10 within only the last few

chanical features Of the motor car re
ceiyed practically all the attention Of
automobile manufacturers.
Just as soon as they produced N

became such an important factor in the
daily life Of the average user that ne
demanded just "a much in Ine way Of
comfort and convenience as in mechan-

motor car development, according 70
Mr.. McGoOkn, is responsible for the
Springfield Body Company being the
frst TO make an automobile body which
would answer the purpose Of both a
touring car and limousine body.
Several years experience in expert
menting and building convertible bodies
has demon trated 20 the officials Of the
Springfield Body Company that there is
only one satisfactory type Of convert
bic body which can be built.
Il is now furnished as regular equip

for the automobile industry for 1916,
MIR. McClaren said: "Our plans are now
well under way at the Mitchell factory,
and untitled orders are now In hand,
whereby our output for tho year will
far exceed our most sanguine cNpecta-
tions Of year or even SIX months
ago
ut Is surely very gratifying to note
how our dealers everywhere are clam
oring for the privilege OF increasing
their 1916 allotment, many Of whom
have not only doubled but more than
trcbled their orders given to us two or
three months ago, a notable instance
being that Of the Carl II. Page Motors
Company, which yesterday placed its
second order for more than Sl,0OJOOO

der motor equal about half the weight
Of these moving parts from one cylin-
der Of the old type motor Of equal
power.
Light reciprocating we ght in motors
has completely changed the formerly
accepted standards. A spectacular en-
thusiasm for aluminium in pis.cns has
followed the careful testing OF this
metal for its strength as well as lts
lightness. Motors are designed 20 run
much faster, and in spite of the small
size and reduced gasolene consumption
develop surprising power and have an
entirely unprecedented smoothness
The Scripps-Booth four cylinder mo-
tor IN the light roadster was among
the first TO show the advantage OF
combined light weight and high speed.
I'm the eight cylinder model, first shown
this week at the Palace, even higher
motor speed in proportion to car travel
has been possible. because OF the per-
feet balance and smaller reciprocatin6
parts of the N-type motor.
