PAIGE MODELS OUT
New Cara VIII Be Strong Favor.
ties, 10 Prediction.

The announcement promised by the
Raige-Detroit Motor Car Company
concerning the line of Paige models
for the new season has been made
and the cars will be placed on ex-
hibition at all the automobile shows
throughout the country as we'll as in
the sales rooms of the Paige dealers.
The new Paige models include the
seven-passenger Stratford "Six-5l. :"
the nve-passenger "Six-39," a new
series Fairfield "Six-46," a novel and
very smart convertible roadster called
the Brooklands, and several other
models, including standard inclosed
cars, such as the limousine, sedan.
town car. coupe. and the like.
From the point of view of mechan-
les. there are q number Of features
but none more important than the
Paige flexible floating drive. This is
a distinct innovation in mechanical
design and engineering that ex-
pected to be a big factor in ease Of
riding, economy of operation. and
durability. The wheelbase being ex-
ceptionally long, the propeller shaft
while revolving at high speed, would
naturally have a tendency to "whip"
and thus unduly wear the TRANSMITS
sion bearings at one end and he
pinion bearing and axle gears at the
other. The new drive eliminates this
by dividing the propeller shaft into
two short dengths with a bearing at
about the center. There are also two
massive girders or frame cross-mem-
bers at the front end Of the propeller
shaft tube, where they take full driv-
ing. bFaking, and torque loads.
Cantilever rear springs, multiple
disc cork Insert clutch, and other
features that have previously been
regarded as features remain in the
new models.
