NEW SUSPENSION
 IN OVERLAND |S PROVEN SUCCESS

When a ship pitches and rolls in the trough of a heavy sea, why doesn't the sailor fall overheard? How does he ! balance himself?
 You've seen the daring bareback trick riders at the circus? You know what thrill they give as they race around the track. standing legs apart, a foot on the back of each horse. How do they keep their bodies in balance and at ease as the horses rise and fall in the plunge of their mad gallop?
 When you've found the answer you've guessed a good part of the req son why the new three point suspen- sion springs of Overland four. the new light car recently announced, act the way they do on the toughest, bumpiest roads on which they have been demon strated in this city.
 An engineering explanation of the why and wherefore of the springs takes in much of interest about the principle of the lever and much more of instruction about distribution of thrusts the force of blows and the like. Then you learn that in some magical mathematical way this new type of springs has done the same work for the bumps in the road that the music master does for the notes in the scale.
 In the novice's hands these notes may run into a shoppy diScord, bump Ing the senses unpleaSanLly- Ine mas ter provides harmony from the same notes and the result is pleasing and comfortable to the ear. The master engineers who designed Overland four have done something of the same sort of work through Overland four's springs. They have found a way to harmonize the bumps in the road: synchronized them, is the engineering phrase. And the result is an apparent floating over ruttiest. bumpiest high ways in smooth, rhytmic travel. rather than in the ragtime jerks of ordinary riding.
 There has been so much popular and scientific interest in the new springs that F. Fl. Belden. vice president in charge of engineering for the Willys- Overland company has been asked to explain why these springs give the entirely new sensa ton over bad roads: To begin with" Mir. Belden says, ''the new spring suspension has turned out exactly as we would like to have it. The new design has aroused the inter est of the Society of Automotive En-

gineers, and all other high grade auto mobile engineers, as new standard spring suspension.
 Tn Oveland four. the springs sweep in a diagonal from a point on the chassis frame fifteen inches beyond the axle at front and rear. The effect is that of four light. flexible levers carrying passenger load on an even keel while lifting the road wheels over rocks and bumps without disagreeably bouncing the passengers.
 No illustration is so apt. perhaps. as that of the circus performer or the rider in the old Olympic games. He urges his horses forward in wild gallop. He has a foot on the back of each of his two horses. He. must maintain balance and equilibrium. And he does. His legs come up and go down with each plunge of the horses beneath but his body remains steady.
 The springs on Overland four act like the legs of this circus rider. The body Of the car and passengers remain on an even keel while the springs al low the wheels to lift and lower rapid iy and easily over the bumps and the ridges and the thanky-ma'ams of the roadway. The blow of the bump on the road has at last been taken away from the spine of the passenger.
 Tt is because of this flexible lever action that we have found that Over idilu Iour springs automatically chm mate bobbing. Fully to describe the total effect of the springs a new word has been added to the automobile to describe this cars spring suspension. That new word is spring base
 Tn the ordinary car, wheelbase has denoted also the center of thrust or load suspended on the springs. Not so Tn Overland four. The springs meet the chassis fifteen inches beyond the axles. That gives us sprirgbase, 30 inches longer than wheelbase. There you have all the effect of large car wheelbase of 130 inches but in secur- ing that, we have actually improved upon the established economy advan- tages of the short 100-inch wheelba SC"

What better gift than an Essex?
 Have all the years use of 1t and re- move doubt as to delivery in the spring.
 There can be no advantage in wait ing. The Essex so leads in qualities which must ultimately be the features of all moderate priced cars that until they can be incorporated by others, 1t has no rival. Everyone says so. Hear what owners are saying about the Essex. More than 10000 Essex cars were delivered in 10 months. In ex- cess of S30,00O,0O0 were paid for them A new sales record was estab- lished, because every Essex owner seems to have made it point to urge his friends to buy.

Note Its Economy

The Essex won it's way through sheer merit What car has more champions?
 Where can you find such perform ance, or fine quality and good looks? Owners tell you how their car outper- forms larger, costlier cars. Some have driven their Essex more than 15,O00 miles without nickle for repairs.
 The tire, gasoline and oil economy is unusual. In these respects the Essex is like lightweight, low-priced cars. But the Essex also has the fine car durability and the finish and looks of higher priced cars.
