Pullen Tells How
Steering Should Work

Eddie Pullen, the racing driver, who
won the Grand Prize race in 1914, and
now Mitchell dealer in Oakland, Cal,
is discussing "The Steering Gear and
How 1t Works."
1.-TWO types of steering gear are
'rrcvcrsiblc worm and full worm
Irrcversible means that a shock or
blow from a chuckholc, rock or OBJ
struction cannot turn the steering
wheel. To make up for the tendency
of the front wheels to spread under
the driving force, the wheels should
be from one-fourth to three cighths of
an inch closer together in the front
than in the rear.
"That is, the distance between the
front, if measured ahead OF the front
axle, is that much less than if meas
urcd at the back of the axle. To make
these measuremen accurately the
wheels should be lacked up off the
ground and given point taken for the
alignment. l often use valve stem
for marker.
Turn each wheel so that the valve
stem is at q point 90 degrees from the
point of contact of the tire with the
ground. Starting from the front of
the axle turn both wheels so valve
stems are at the same position back
Of the axle. Then if in perfect align
ment the back of a 34-inch wheel
should be three eights of an inch
wider.
"Thc steering knuckles are so con-
structed that the difference between
the tops OF the front wheels is from
one and three fourths to two inches
greater than with the ground. The
dish or rake is to bring the whee
in contact with the ground nearly il
line with the axis Of the knuckle bear
ing, thus reducing the steering effort

So Says REQ Man, Although
There'll Be No Dinner for
His Folk This Year

Instead Of the usual anual banquet
to REQ distributors and dealers, there
will be a luncheon at show time this
year, according to Sales Manager F. II.
Akers. "The idea is not to conserve
food" said Akers. II know that has
been given as the reason for abolishin;,
some banquets, but, as a matter of fact,
| think the excuse is ludicrous, to Soy
the least.
"Thc very idea that you can conserve
food by eliminating banquets is, on the
face Of it, ridiculous. Men don't eat
four meals day just because they go
to banquet in the evening. If you'd
ask any hardened old banqueter or

could adopt that would best conserve

served from the very things we don't
need to conserve-oysters, Holsters,

at a banquet? If meat is served at all
it is in the form of 'tilet mignon'
about the size of an English walnut.
"Whcever heard of healthy slice OF

too plebeian to be thought of. Ban

sphere. The French pastries, desserts

reached the bottom of the banquet
menu, his pretlominating sense is de-

course, he would not dare mention
such thing.

Light Car Vogue
Developed by Much
Engineering Toll
Power, Comfort and Finish
Found Now in Less
Costly Products
By Charles D. Hastings

Vace-Prcsidont and General Mama
ger Hupp Motor Car Corporation.
Up to a few years ago excess power,
riding comfort, the rctinements of fine
hnlsh and luxurious upholstery were
almost entirely associated with the
heavier types Of cars. However, as
the users Of light cars, as we'll as those
who had formerly been accustomed to
the bigger cars, began to see many OF
the advantages of the light car over
the big car, a demand sprung up for a
light car that would include some of
the refncments Of grace, comfort and
durability that had hitherto been avail
able only in the costlier products.
IN the meantime, the automobile in
dustry had been making great strides
in the developments of engineering
simplicity in the use of lighter metal
and alloys, in greater ingenuity of
body design. that readily adapted
themselves to this new movement in
motor car efficiency.
The first result Of this new incentive
of refinement in light cars was notice
able in better carburation, higher
speed engines, that made the light car
more flexible, more able to travel at
greater sustained speed, and still
further emphasized the economy of
light weight in the consumption Of
gasolene.
Next, the engineers turned their at
tention to strengthening the chassis,
because they found that the chassis
OF the light car must be sturdcr in
proportion than that Of heavy car.
The cars that have attained the best
results IN this respect are those which
have followed the trend of simplicity
IN eliminating unnecessary parts.
The next step in the development of
light-car efficiency was the improve
ment in riding comfort. The engineers
of the more luxurious light cars to-
day say that it. is possible to so spring
and balance light car that it may ride
over rough roads and make real tour
ing speed in comfort. where big cars
are apt to jolt ancomfortably the pas
sengers in the rear seat.
They found out that the easy riding
of a car depended on low centre OF
gravity and on tho correct proportion
of weight under the springs to the
weight above the springs; and that q
car did not necessarily need weight
to hold it down on the road. They also
found that car with a low centre
of gravity, namely, with its weight as
near the ground as possible. consume ID
the least power over the same obstruc-
tions; in other words, that it woulC
run with less fuel consumption pei

Interiors Decorated
In Modern Room Stylc

One of the outstanding schemes of
interior decoration among the cars on
display at the show is the "study in
stripes" to be found in Cadillac in
closed cars
The material is mohair velvet. made
from angora fleece. Two tones arc
used, dark striped material and light
er material of solid color. The dark
upholstery is laid in French plaits over
the seat cushions and backs and lower
side quarters below the arm rests. The
upperwork, ceiling and doors are dressed
in the plain material unplaited. This
makes a contrast with the dark striped
portions. Interior decorators use the
same idea in the modern home.

weight and with sless road shock than

weight and with sless road shock than
other cars.
The last and crowning effort toward
improving the quality and appearance
of a refined light car lies in the devel-
opment of body design. The up-to-date
automobile body engineer has so econo-
mized body space, to take care of the
shorter wheelbase and the relatively
smaller size, that it is possible now
to get seat room and leg room in both
the front and rear seats that the rider
and driver of former years could look
for only in the larger and heavier types
of cars.
1t is now possible to buy relatively
light car at the lowest price which as
sures the best in engineering, material
and workmanship.

Considering the conditions, this was

more difficulty usually experienced in
getting perfect start. The gasolene

Some Bodies
Better toLookA AT
Than to Sit In
Designers Sacrifice Comfort
in Four Passengers to
the Merely Novel
By c. E. T. Scharps

The desire to produce something un-
usual in the way Of body is some
times so strong that the maker forgets
to include comfort in the specifications.
This is particularly true of some of
the four-passenger jobs seen at the
show. The seats. for instance, are SO
placed that the top of the back catches
the passenger too far below the shoul
ders. The result to him is great dis
comfort Bodies of this sort arc good
to look at, but not to ride in or on.
1t is noteworthy that the three
passenger cloverleaf type has about
passed out. Few builders are making
this any more. For time it was very
popular and every line, to be complete
had to have one. Three passenger
roadsters now are built with a single
seat Of extra width. generally with q
staggered seating arrangement. The
driver sits forward, and the two other
passengers have recessed seat. so
that they do not interfere with the
pilot
AlsiSNssNS between the front seats
are the usual thing in the four-passen-
ger types. They give easy access to
the back seats, so that the passenger
doesn't have to alight in order to
move from one row to the other. The
three passenger car, in which the extra
person occupied sort Of we'll in the
'-asar, was an unsatisfactory type at
best Usually the extra seat had to
be placed uncomfortably near to the
front seats, and that left the "extrav
cramped Anyway. two's company and
three's 4 crowd. If it isn't two. it
ought to be four in car capacity. Most
persons find greater need of two
extra seats than of merely one. For
instance, taking q foursome to play
golf.
Fashions in pody building run in
cycles. When thing is done by one
maker, lot Of others at once follow
suit Sometimes the imitation is an
Improvement on the original. But not
always.
