GROWTH Of DURANT
MOTORS, |NC., RAPID
Company Has Exceeded Ex-
pectations In Develop
ing Enterprise.

In a year of startling events for
the automobile industry, none has
been more spectacular than the rise
Of Durant Motors. Inc.
From the germ Of an idea in the
mind Of one man to quantity pro-
duction of a new automobile In less
than twelve months IL the new rec.
ord established by this wonder enter
prise.
January. 1921. perhaps the worst
month in the business depression
period. saw the beginning Of the new
company. william c. Durant, q
pioneer in the automobile field and
the directing genius behind the
and Oldsmobile Company, had sew
cred his connection with the General
Motors corporation OF which he was
the organizer. 1t was the common
report that he would take "a long
vacation" Just how Mr.. Durant
made use of that vacation" Is shown
by subsequent events.
Mr.. Durant decided that there was
need for lust a real good car" to
sell around 81 900. Toward this end
he bent his energy and his seventeen
years Of experience In the automo-
bile field. The first step was to
raise the necessary capital. A half
million shares OF no-par stock
were offered to a group of friends
who knew his record for achieve
ment and oversubscribed within
forty-eight hours. BY the end of
another three months, four separate
manufacturing companies had been
organized in a similar manner.
The work OF designing the new car
was Immediately started at the ex-
perimental department OF the Long
Island City plant. Experienced engi-
neers pooled their knowledge, and
evolved the Durant car as 1t now
exists.

many AUTO PARTS
Even Engines Complete are
Furnished for as Per
Cent of Builders.

Car manufacturers who purchase
one, or more essential units from a
specialist in the field, are In the
majority. though in the case Of en-
gines. the specialists supply less than
half the number Of manufacturers.
Some passenger cars are made up
entirely of units purchased from
outside sources. In some cases the
car builder designs q unit but does
not do the actual manufacturing OF
It, leaving that to a part maker
suitably equipped.
About So per cent Of the different
makes Of cars have engines made
in the shops of the company, the
remaining 45 per cent being Of the
standard units variety. In every
other field, however, the parts maker
supplies most of the factories. In
clutches very close to 20 per cent
Of the manufacturers buy the unit
from a specialist. 'Transmissions
are divided 81 per cent produced
outside, SO per cent by the car build
err. Practically the same ratio exists
In the field Of front and rear axles
where SO per cent of the car manu-
facturers do not manufacture their
own. The parts makers activity is
more pronounced In the field OF uni
versal joints than in any other. Here
he supplies over SO per cent of the
manufacturers and in steering gears
he supplies slightly over rs per cent.

PLANS To ORGANIZE
ALL AUTO OWNERS
American Automobile Associa-
ton Aims for More Per-
sonaI Service.

At a meeting Of the executive board
Of the American Automobile Assocla-
ton, held here recently, resolutions
were adopted and plans contaminated
which will not only increase the
services of the national organization,
but viii place them within easy
reach of all motor car owners in the
United States.
The meeting was for the purpose
of passing on the many forward.
looking activities of the A. A. u.
suggested at the recent Detroit
meeting, which was attended by sew
eral hundred persons representing
practically every motoring and good
roads organization in the country.
The opinion prevails among the
A. A. U. directorate that closer and
more personal service should be
available for the ever.increasing
army Of car owners who cruise the
highways and find need for better
touring directions, uniform traffic
laws. equitable motoring laws and
dependable aid when in trouble.
First among the A. A. us new
pans will be concentrated effort in
each section of the country to or.
ganize all car owners.

Good Design of Lens, Bulbs OF
Proper Size and a Clean
Reflector, Essentials.
BY ALEXANDER JOHNSTON.
Editor of MOTOR.

BY ALEXANDER JOHNcION,
Editor Of MOTOR.
Good lighting Is one Of the es-
sentials of safe and satisfactory
motoring. To get adequate light
ing without the glare. which is
dangerous to other users OF the
road, has been a problem for
years. Probably the greatest factor
in creating this problem Is poor
focusing. A perfectly good lamp Is
frequently rendered dangerous be-
cause it is not properly focused.
In order to secure the greatest
percentage of good road light.
minus the glare. the lamp must
be equipped with good design
of lens or glass front, the bulb
must be the right size, the reflec-
tor must be clean and the lamp
must be properly focused to throw
the right kind of a beam exactly
where 1t Is needed.
The ordinary method of focusing
In to throw the beam against the
side of a house, barn or wall about
twenty-five feet away. II the
beam is uneven in shape or has a
dark spot in the center, then 1t Is
out of focus and an adjustment
must be made. Adjustment should
continue until the beam of light
has been reduced to it's smallest
dimensions with a bright spot In
the center. Then focusing Is cor
rect.
There are several ways of max
ing the actual adjustments. The
most frequently used method Is to
tit a screw in the back Of the
fwaar N.yht oh =
ments of position are obtained.
The screw moves the bulb forward
or backward. Another type of
adjustment has a ratchet device,
whereby the bulb is moved a notch
in the ratchet. To do this it is
necessary to open the door Of the
lamp or remove the front.
In the modern lamp there Is
sometimes difficulty in getting off
the rim and great care must be
used in putting it back to see that
the packing inside is correctly
placed. If This is not done water
may seep through and dull the re.
Electors. To clean the reflectors,
by the way, rubbing with alcohol
applied with a cloth Is the correct
procedure.
When buying bulbs the car own
er should take only the best stand
ard makes. Also the same size
bulb should be used on each side.
The owner should be sure that the
bulbs are firmly set in their sock
cts and that cable connections are
tight. If there is any looseness,
vibration Is sure to interrupt cur
rent flow. producing Pickering.
The glass front of the lamp
must be of a type approved by the
legal authorities and at the same
time satisfactory dispenser of
light. Some lenses comply with
the law, but cut down the light to
such an extent that 1t il difficult
or even unsafe to drive with them.

In patrolling their districts the
State troopers covered 1,159 995

Why OIL Is Used.

The lubricating Of the working
parts OF the automobile is to prevent
any two pieces Of metal! that are
working one against the other, from
touching. This is accomplished by
having a fine film Of oil between
these two metals, and upon this film
of oil depends the life of all the bear.
