It should be borne In mind that the
average visitor TO these big exhibitions
NOS only examines and studies the ears
snd body work offered at these shows
bat he or she also finds practical
interest in the displays OF sundries,
uarts and accessories. There are far
more visitors in the market for acces-
sorses than for cars, for they always
desire some new device of proven merit.
So many people take genuine pride in
their autom obiles that they wish to
keep them as up-todate as possible
This is especially noticeable in such
articles OF equipment as spotlights,
windshield ailerAuS. m odern head lamp
designs. etc.--things which prevent the
several-seasons-old car from looking
passs.
Fer 1922 probably the most notable
feature on many makes of cars will be
the changed appearance of the front of
the car through the adoption of auto
matte cooling devices. A number OF
these appeared last season, especially
those with thermostatic regulators
Another noticeable external feature
will be the various forms of vizors OF
shades projecting from the top of the
windshield frame.
Desirability of the Vizor
Every one who has had occasion to
drive toward q late afternoon sun or
climb mountains with the suns rays
shining into the drivers eyes can ap
preciate the desirability of the vizor.
Automatic windshield cleaners. which
operate pneumatically eliminate much
Of the annoyance of driving in rain or
snow and make for greater safety.
There are all sorts of new locks and
burglar-proof inventions, Merely rely
ing upon d switch key these days is no
protection against the expert car thief
who knows how TO get around this bv
tampering with the ground wire and
then departing with the switch locked.
Nor does locking the doors of closed
car provide much security, for too
many keys fit these doors. Various
ingenious types Of gear lever, steering
vhee and ignition locks will interest
show visitors. 4 device which prevents
the theft of the notion eter or other
radiator cap ornament has appeared on
the market.
Tai light signals will be featured
in many Of the cars. During the past
few months the practical value of these
has been sufficiently demonstrated to
cause various makers to adept them as
standard equipment. The beauty OF the
tail light signal Stop" is that it is
seen much quicker than the drivers ex-
tended hand, and is always visible,
whereas the drivers hand is often not
visible to the motorist directly behind.
Several makes of cars will show a
new lubricatina system, one By which
pll parts Of the assis requiring lu0ri
cation will receive it under pressure
through flexible piping, the system be-
ing operated by buttons on the dash
board.
