of springs so designed as to absorb
road shocks from the worst of pave

land engineers make the unusual
claim Of having produced car that

Second Economy. The new
springs so protect the car from road
shock as to make possible much light
er weight and hence great saving
| in fuel and tires. Furthermore. the
car is so simple and accessible that
costs of upkeep and repairs must be
greatly reduced. Yet the cars parts
have a protected accessibility big
factor in upkeep. The car is assem-
bled from five UNITS only. The chassis
is clear of all involved mechanism.
The entire assembly requires only SO
bolts. The engine is remarkably
high grade. thoroughly up-to-the-min-
ute power plant, compact and simple.
The neatness and cleanness of design
bespeaks the ready accessibility to all
parts.
Third-Quality. Specifications in
dictate that the Overland has been
built in each part of the finest quail
ity steel and steel alloys. The cars
parts have been machined within the
closest possible limits, permitting
quality of construction equal to that
of a handmade product. Inspection
starts at the steel mills where the
company has stationed expert metal
lurigists to test every heat of steel.
and the inspection ends only with the
owners driving the car away. The
stock reaching the factory is thus all
first-grade through many inspections.
This itself is a new feature in auto
mobile construction. The body is all
steel with an oven-baked enamel fin
ish. The construction is simple and
the balance of part to part is unus-
ually fine. The car has been design

Without emphasizing such features

First Of course. the three-point

springs on Overland extend fifteen
inches from a point on the chassis
beyond the axles at front and rear,
giving a wide diagonal shape to the
springs. The car has thus an actual
springbase of 1870 inches, although
the car wheelbase itself is 100 inches

task of keeping the body and passen-
gers riding on constantly even keel.
