OLD TIME FRANKLIN
CAR ON EXHIBITION
Was Driven From Coast tC
Coast for New Record
in 1904.

Record breaking automobiles like
blooded race horses are soon forgot
ten while their achievements pass in
to oblivion with the swift progress of
time. Yet there Is one car, famed in
the early days of the automobile in
6ustry, which is destined to enjoy the
earned honors which so many cars of
ether days have lost in their speedy
Journey from distinction to the junk
pile.
This is tho little four-cylinder, air
cooled Franklin, which. under the
guidance of l.. l.. Whitman, was
driven from coast-to- coast In 29 days
In 1904, establishing n transconti-
mental record. 1t has been purchased
by Ralph Hamlin, the Los Angeles
Franklin iealer, and altho IL is in con-
dition for daily service on the road 1t
has been given the place of honor in
his salesroom.
Attached to the side of tho car is n
nlacard which presents to the public
the details of the famous trans-contl-
mental run made by the little two-pas-
songer roadster. The total elapsed
time was 32 days, II hours, twenty
minutes; time on road, 80 days; rest
and sleep. four days; hours on road,
40; longest days run 1924 miles;
shortest days run, 81 miles; hottest
temperature. 125 degrees; average
daily run, 155 miles; longest run with
out stop, except for oil and lunch, 3S
hours.
This record stood for two years,
then Whitman reduced 1t by half,
driving n six-cylinder Franklin car.
The little 1904 cross-country automo-
bile has always been a favorite with
Whitman and he held possession OF It
until very recently when it passed to
Hamlin.
Sixty miles an hour Is considered
good speed for any car of modern
construction, vet this little 1904 sour-
this speed altho it was driven by an
engine or only ten horse power.
AS II now stands beside the modern
Franklin in the Los Angeles show
room, 1t presents a very marked con-
trast in appearance, yet in all the es-
sentials 1t is the same. Both engines
are aircooled, with the cylinders cast
separately. The valves are of the
overhead type in both models. The
resilient, shock absorbing wood frame
is a feature Of each, and both cars
have full-elliptic springs. Even the
carburetors are of the Franklin own
make-a feature of IL years. Both
cars are light weight in construction
and are designed particularly to max e
operation economical. Thus In the
two cars-both typical of Franklin
theory and co0struction-are found
salient features which have survived
tho test of 13 years-the difference In
age of the two types.

"Babe" RutRs Close Call.

III you don't think II pays to own
a car that is staunchly constructed,

Scott Of the KisselKar. Recently
while driving home in a KisselKar,
Babe accidentally derailed the front
trucks of a heavy semiconvertible
street car that got in his way. A mil
lion fans breathed a sigh of relief
when they learned that Babe and his
powerful left wing had not been
touched."s

wooden sils of the conventional body.
Front Axle Feature has Double Spindle Knuckle The
front axle is steel forgng-Ibeam in section. The
ing knuckle is Of special interest being double spindle
knucke which is onepiece forging of chrome nickel
steel The spindle which the wheel is fitted is
ventiona while the other end of the L-shaped knuckle
fits into single bronze bushng and goes into the eye
of the axle There are large surfaces to take the side
hrusts while the end thrust is taken by heavy nut at
the bottom.
Transmission The manner of suspension and the loca
ton of the transmission is unique 1t is located amid
ships the forward end of the orque tube just back Of
the member in the center of the car eliminating
universal joints and is freely held in suspension by ball
andsocket joint which takes up the driving and brake

Controls Within Easy Reach. Control levers have been
placed with view of making them most convenient The

YaleLocked Tool Kit and Gear Shift Leuer One of the
most practical nsurances against theft is found in the

Gasoline Tank in the Cou The practice of putting the
gasoline tank in the cowl which is largely employed
by European builders is part of Marmon "a construc-
ton The tank with capacity of eighteen and onehalf
gallons is directly the of the engine in most

is only 80 inches long.

AH scientifically constructed light weight car"
~ by the number of innovations that to be
Nv Il found in it's makeup. 1t is comfortable and
hghpoWered, and has Wheebase of l36
inches. In building the Marmon "a, designers aimed to
reduce weight increase efficiency and add to the
fort of the driver and passengers Often part made
to do the work that several parts required to do
in conventional design lighter metals have been selected
to replace heavier metals without the sacrifice of
strength; in engine features frame transmission and
spring design which employed to make the lighter
in weight and economical to operate the hand of
the careful Marmon engineer is seen.
Use of Aluminium Aluminium is used extensively in the
Marmon "a. large part of the engine, touring and

orally cast iron or bronze, of aluminium. AS
ample the engine of the Marmon "a weighs approximately
400 pounds less than the engine of like size and power
but of conventional type.
Touring Body in Three Sections The touring body is
made in three sections: Q the cow ) the front seat
and 3) the tonneau seat Any unit may be removed
by loosenng few bolts without disturbing the other
units.
Rear Spring Suspension. One of the most prominent
features of Marmon design the of compound canti
lever cross suspension rear springs at the extreme end

ends are on the same side of the car there is almost

stiffens them when road distractions encountered.
This method of spring suspension results in reduc
tion of weight and in less violent spring action
