vcnicnce Of the automobile.
The same powerful Studebaker mo-
tor that brought fame to the Series
| II models has been retained in the
new cars. It has been refined in de-
tail but no radical changes have been
made. The principal feature, and one
of deep concern to motorists, is the
elimination of all noticeable vibration.
This has been accomplished by using
a piston of superior design and the
tightening of certain reclprOcaung
parts The chassis frame is the same
light construction which has charac-
teri2ed all Studebaker cars. Slight
changes have been made in some OF
the chassis parts.
improvements in the fabrication
system not only give a positive feed
under all conditions, but eliminate all
fabrication troubles. The full-floating
safety-insuring Studcbaker rear axle
with a complete equipment OF Tim
ken hearings, remains the same in
principal as heretofore, but this too
has been greatly strengthened. A
minor change in design of the Stude-
rWagner electrical system has
made it possible to increase the start
ing energy about II per cent, giving
it ample power to crank even the big
six-cylinder motor without effort.
In addition to the changes mention
ed there has also been further i'm
prOvements in the carburetion system
which adds to the power Of the engine
and gives greater economy, rendering
the adjustment Of the entire carbure-
lion system about as positive and per-
manent as the combined skill Of Stude-
baker and Schebler engineers could
make it. The Willard 100 ampere hour
storage battery has been retained in
the new models.
