Fourth--Bountiful and complete
equipment. In every detail from
demountable rims to Auto-Lite starr
of Overland appears to have been
planned with single view of COM
fort, convenience and long service.
All seat cushions, which are de-
tachable like those in a Pullman,
are upholstered with the luxurious
Marshall Divan springs. The wind
shield is slanting rain vision. The
one-man top, curtains and cushions
are DurateX. The horn button is in
the center of the steering wheel. The
controls are all mounted on a key
board on the cowl in. instant and
ready reach.
The motor of the Overland is
cast en- bloc with n removable head.
1t has generous valve opening.
The lubricating and oiling system
requires no pumps. The oil is cir

created and the water is circu-

tenn or natural cooling method. No
power is required of the motor to
operate these systems.
The steering nnnarDtnS 10 nf thn
planetary gear type with the gears
at the bottom of the steering col

strain is taken at three points in
stead of at one.
The clutch is of the single plate
type now used by II per cent of the
motor manufacturers. The selec-

three-quarter floating. The differ

annular ball bearings.
The car is equipped with two
brakes--foot and hand. These work

are adjustable to reach.
The wide. deep seats of the Over

suspension springs and comfortably
accommodate five passengers. The
cushions are equipped with Marshall
divan springs. The upholstery
throughout the car is long grain
Duratex. All cushions, including the
back and sides are removable. The
one-man top also is of Duratex.
One of the chief aims of the build

standard of quality throughout the
car in both the material and manu-
facture. This has been carried to
the design and finish, the body de-

The car has a streamline body
which is entirely constructed of steel
with slanting windshield. The full
crowned fendors are of heavy sheet
steel. The running boards are COW

bound. The body and chassis are
finished in hard baked enamel. The
