1876 Improvements
In Pierce-Arrow Cars

Something like one hundred and
thirty-five improvements are included
in the Pierce-Arrow cars on display
this year.
Last years car likewise embodied
many betterments, as compared with
the vehicles displayed in 1916. Yet the
casual visitor to the 1918 show will
probably not notice any of these
changes.
} They are not radical; they involve
no departure in construction. Few OF
them are in evidence on the car. They
include such details as an enlarged
braking area, new universal joint, an
added grease cup on the top half Of
the rear spring seat. change in the
lower throttle lever for foot accelera-
tor to give slower first opening, q
new brace for the columns on runa-
bouts, longer water jacket, thermo.
stat water control, an improved radia-
tor, an oil gauge registering 100
pounds, new hood catch, a metal rest
tor hood when raised, a new rear tire
carrier ring type, new straight side
tires, new clock and a new plate glass
window in rear Of cape top.

is one Of the handsomest creations. It
is upholstered in Spanish green leather
and has top cover to match. Then
there is the large Enclosed car for seven
passengers-the 1856 limousine-done
in deep red, lightened by wicker
panels on all four doors. Its lines are in
keeping with the Characteristic Pack
ard design-trim almost severe in ap-
pearance. A special Laidlaw broad
cloth is used in the upholstery, fitted
over cushions and seats in rich plain-
ness. The interior fittings are in
accord.
A 3-25 coupe is done in Fleetwood
blue. The seats are not standard, but
are exhibited to show what can be
furnished.
The newest passenger car in the line,
and perhaps the most striking in ap-
pearance, is the brougham for SIX,
mounted on the short chassis. It is
low rooted. Ditzler's Beaver Brown
and Mojave are used in the painting
scheme, the lighter shade used on the
upper part and the darker color cover
ing the lower part of the body and
chassis. The general tone is very SINH
lar to the khaki shade used on army
cars.

Sport Marine Is
Jorden's Latest Car

What the maker calls the first COM
pletely equipped motor car ever offered
as stock model is shown by the Jor-
dan Motor Car Company. 1t is known
as the Sport Marine.
The new car is marked by a new
power unit, built by the Continental
Motors Corporation, and an all-alumi-
nun body. AS standard equipment, the
car carries FIVE Silvertown cord tires,
five wire wheels, special speed gear
ratio, Macbeth lenses, Waltham sport
clock, motometer, torneau light, Troy
sport windshield, tailored top with side
curtains that open with the doors, and
traffic bumper.
The body is the straight line type,
with keenly bevelled edges, square
doors, panellcd in Honduras mahogany
and upholstered in special bright hand
buffed leather, with velvet tonneau rug
Aluminium was selected for the body
because it is free from "ripples" and
rust so common in steel bodies and
takes more vclyety finish than steel.
The optional body colors are Briarcliff
green and Ascot maroon.
The chassis includes standard units
which have characterized the Jordan in
the past

Cut-Out Chassis Explains
The lnwards of the bort
The bort Motor Car Company, Of
Flint. Mich, is showing a cut-out
chassis of the new Model II. A tour
ing car. a new coupe body, the latest
addition to the Fourscason line, and a
Fourseason sedan also are shown.
No radical changes are found in tho
bort chassis beyond re6nements in
design and minor mechanical improve
ments. Simplicity and convenience
have been the goal of its engineers.
The body design has been materially
improved by changes in the contour of
hood and tenders, and there is cellu-
lar type radiator in place Of the tube
and fin type formerly in use.

Exhaust Pipe Outside
In Velie Sport Model

The announcement of new Velie mod
els recently reveals line of nine hodv
styles, including touring cars. road
sters, closed cars and speedster tyne.
The new bodies exploit straight-linc
effect. Following the trend toward
closed cars of convertible type. suitable
for all-year use, Velie has covered this
field.
The sport car is novel in that the
exhaust pipes are exposed, as is racing
custom. There are individual steps into
the low-hung body and the victoria ton
over the rear seat adds an element of
individuality.
There has been no change of consc-
quence in the mechanical makeup of

Packard Show Cars

Utility that is the object OF efficiency

third series Packard twin six models on
exhibition at the Automobile Show. The
Packard aims to show in its choices fo-
display purposes that the first class
motor car is a safe, swift, economical,
efficient means of modern transporta-
ton.
There arc five cars in the Packard
exhibit. One is an army car, stand
ard twin six, except that it is painted
IN the army khaki and has top and seat
covers of heavy khaki, nickelled tire
rims and radiator. The United States
government is using a number of such

Railroad Car Men
Make Standard Is"

only manufacturer of motor cars which
also manufactures the railroad rolling
stock, which delivers automobiles to
their destination. Not content with
furnishing the railroads of the world
with rolling stock, the officers of this
company determined few years ago
to direct the structural skill of this
organization to include the highly spe-
cialized field of fine motor car building.
Officers Drove Them
The first of the Standard Fights were
built solely for officials of the Standard
Street Car Company. These men have
subjected their cars to the toughest,
hardest usage they could hammer them
through. One need only ride with one
Of these men from Pittsburgh to Butler
to get q faint but convincing idea of
what that road forework of the Stand
ard Eight must have been.
The makers Of the Standard Eight,
unlike those of any motor car built
to-day, make their own steel. From
the windows of the general Office build
ing you can see the bulwarks OF rail-
road car wheels stretching in tremcn-
dous phalanx; forged steel wheels;
yard train crews loading dunes of these
mighty wheels for the first leg Of their
journey to war-torn France
The great majority of the men ro-
sponsible for the Standard Eight were
trained and taught in the Butler works,
drawn from among the best fitted of
the veteran steel makers.
New buildings are under construction

ment Of the Standard Steel Car Com

King Changes Are
Largely Internal

The King Motor Car Company's eight
cylinder product shows little change in
outward appearance. The main differ
ence is the lines and finish Of the top
and slight change in the proportions
OF the seats.
Mechanically. jacketed intake mani
fold greatly assists in the vaporzation
Of the gas. A new type of Atwater-
Kent ignition is being used. The brake
on the propeller shaft has been re-
moved, and both brakes arc now on
the rear wheels. Morse chains are en-
ployed In the front of the engine. A
new cam shaft and mushroom tappet
design has been developed, which is cx-
tremely quiet.
The speedometer is now driven by a
pair Of spiral gears entirely inclosed
in the rear of the transmission. An
eleventooth Bendix gear has been de-
veloped which gives a greater reduc-
ton between the starting motor and
the fywhecl and permits the use of
lighter and moro compact starting
motor.

l6-Valve Engines
Only for Stutz


Four new 16-valve models, changed
here and there and fitted with new
oodles, which show marked departures
in certain details from the former
series, is the new seasons Stutz offer
ing.
The bodies have q smoother outline
than before. The hood and radiator
have different shape, and because of
q wide cowl the front part appears to
be much longer. The characteristic
double cowl in the four and six pas
senger models has been removed, and
the back Of the front seat extends
slightly above the body sides.
On all models this year there is the
same sort of spare wire wheel carrier
as on the 1917 roadster, except that the
wheel is held vertically instead Of hor-
izontally. 1t is simply dummy hub

Long Stream Lines
Mark the Olympian

The new Olympian model is charac-
terized by long stream lines, slanting
windshield, double cowl, big hood, for
elgn radiator, high sides and deep, wide
seats. The model rs made as five
passenger touring and four-passenger
roadster.
Frame construction and engine de-
sign constitute its chief mechon;cnl
features. The engine, of the Brush
type, can develop more than As horse
power and speed of ffty-fivc miles
an hour, and can be throttled down to
two miles an hour on high speed.
Economy in fuel and oil consumption
is aimed at by introducing the gas into
tho cylinder through hot-spot mani
told, variable supply lubricator sys-
ten and overhead valves.
The frame structure uses thin steel
stock Of deep section. An extension
OF the frame in the rear gives support
to the gasolcnc tank and extra tires
and at the same time serves as a rear
traffic bumper.
The possibility Of body rattles, too.
has been reduced by boiling the body
directly to the frame without intervcn-
ing stills. and by designing the deep
section frame 80 that no mud skirt is
necessary between the running board
and BODY.

Hot Spot" Engine Is
Feature Of Chalmers

The Chalmers Motor Company
comes to tho big show with an engine
Improvement that has already created
great interest. Tho hot-spot, device
OF seeming minor Importance, has, in
the short space of three months, es-
tablished the Chalmers as car
equipped to be capable Of overcoming
mobile in cold weather.
1t is contended that careful meas
urement and mechanical experiments
show that the combination of the hot
spot and tho ram's-horn manifold gets
more miles to the gallon from the cur
rent Chalmers than was formerly OBJ
tanned even with better grade Of
gasolene.
So much has appeared about the
hot-spot that, naturally, the Chalmers
visitor has let off a volley Of hot-spot
queries. The complex and distorted
expectations that many have as to the
size functions and general appearance
OF the hot-spot provide amusement at
the Chalmers booth.
What the "Hot Spot" Is
Visitors are considerably enlight-
ened and equally surprised to have the
hot-spot pointed out as very simple
mechanical device located at the throat
OF the carburetOr and connected with
the now well-known ram's-horn mani
fold III such manner as scientifically
to crack up and heat the small parti-
cles Of gas, mixing the same with air
and distributing it to all of the cylin-
ders in such condition that a great
percentage of tho gasolene used Is
actually digested and made into super
lative power.
With the exception Of the hot-spot,
there is nothing new about the Chal-
lners engine, and there are just slight
improvements about the car itself A
limousine laundaulct is the only addi-
ton to the nine models. The two or
three passenger roadster and the two
family cars. the five and seven pas
senger, remain the staple models Of the
Chalmers line. The four-passengcr

The sedan shares honors with the

guished by their large plate windows
