Big January Business Basis OF
Determination to Sell
10000 Cars in 1922.

Bushes economists and leaders
are unanimous in saying that the
corner has been turned and that
business IL on It's way to normal.
Such evidence is now offered In the
remarkable record of the Hupp Motor
Car Corporation. whose January us22l
shipments were the largest for any
January in the fourteen years Of the
companys existence. In January
1922. more than four times as many
Hupmobiles were shipped and sold
as in January, 1921; or twice an many

or three times as many as in Janu.

point, January was one Of the biggest
months the company has ever en-.
joyed.
At the opening Of the New York
Automobile Show. Chas. d. Hastings
president Of the Hupmobile Corpora
ton. expressed his confidence in the
results which could be secured in
1922, and announced the determine
ton of his company to build and sell
1000 cars in 1922. With January
starting off at 400 per cent speed,
his hopes seem certain Of fulfillment.

Tests Of Flexibility.
Silent chain front-end drives are
more In use this year than ever
before and for a very definite set
of reasons. OF course this form OF
drive Is quieter, but this is not. the
only feature. 1t is extremely flex-
ible as opposed to the practically
rigid connection obtained by gear
ing. This flexibility- Of the chain
reduces strain on the part-it drives.
In the past the only objection
to the silent chain was its COM
paratively short life. Now, how
ever, 1t Is nothing to use chains
for $4,000 and even 10000 miles
because the chain is adjustable

HUDSON COACH
MEETS DEMAND
ATPR|CELEVEL
New Supsr-Six Enclosed Model
To Sell for $1.795 at
Detroit.

Meeting the public demand for
a quality inclosed car at a new
and lower price level. the Hudson
Motor Car Company has announced
a new five-passenger closed model.
the Hudson coach. to be sold for
$1.795 at Detroit.
"It Is now possible" says Walter
T.. Lambert, of the Hudson Motor
Company, for a motorist to buy an
inclosed super-six at about the same
price as an open car Of any com.
parable make. Motorists who have
long wanted super-six performance
can afford 1t easily, and In an In
closed car at that.
For many months, Hudson Of.
ficials have been experimenting In
producing quality closed bodies at
a moderate cost. They have felt
that the public really prefers In
clsoed cars, and has held off from
buying them only on q price basis
Working along these lines, the
Hudson organization has developed
an inclosed car which can be manu-
featured simply-that Is. on modern
principles-and yet retain all the
Characteristic quality and beauty OF
Hudson bodies.
"The Hudson coach strikes q new
note in body design. None of the
features Of superiority. which have
marked Hudson bodies for many
years have been omitted, but
through simplicity Of manufacture
a wonderful price proposition Is pos
sible to the purchaser.
''The interior dimensions Of the
Hudson coach are ample. Five pas

Editor OF MOTOR.
One of the very interesting sys-
tens of the automobile engine is
that comprising the camshaft and
accessory shaft drives. In any
engine the crankshaft is the first
part to revolve and this rotary
motion is utilized to operate other
parts. ....
In all engines the front end of
the crankshaft is fitted with a
gear or a sprocket and then,
through other gearing or by means
Of a silent chain. the camshaft is
driven. II a lighting generator is
driven from the. forward end there
may be a separate take-off for It.
There also may be a separate
water pump drive, or a drive for
any other unit.

ferent method, Of driving it. Usu.

shaft driven by gearing directly

vertical shaft are other take-offs

problems.
Must Keep Drive Quiet.
One of the big difficulties in a
gear drive is to keep it quiet. The
gears must be accurately made and
must be fitted so that they mesh
properly. Gear bowls from front
snds are caused by poorly meshing
gears, usually those that are too
lightly meshed. II too free the

are streets of that name, the directories
disclosed. but no Nash family at a No.
