The Buick Steering Gear

The Buick steering gear has been de-
signed to combine the attributes of
safety and ease of operation
The principal advantages are entire relief from
road shocks being transmitted through the steer
ing mechanism, and ability to follow the tracks in
mud or sand without wearisome mancuvering
and without the danger of jumping the ruts. So
that the easy handling of the Buick steering
mechanism will be appreciated by all drivers
AS a result of this design the factor of safety in
Buick steering gears is very high. And because of
the leverage provided by the the large steering
wheel anti-rction bearings and the positive lubri-
cation OF every part, the car may be operated for
many hours at time without fatigue to the driver
