Rear axle gears, with the ezcep-
ton of those used in the Ford, are
spiral bevel. Ford alone uses straight
beyel, even the new Star using the
advanced form. Chevrolet changed
to spiral bevel in 1922. Even with this
quiet tooth form gear noises develop,
Slight, but nevertheless troublesome.
In some axles only one side of the
gear teeth are finished, henc, there
is a noise when the gear coasts.
This is Objectionable and should be
corrected. In the newer designs OF
axles the pinion shaft has an outer
bearing. This is known as the strad-
die type pinion. The outer bearing
helps to keep the pinion and ring
gear in better mesh for longer peri
ad. Thinker has led the way in this
respect. The Timken tapered roller
bearing is still the accepted form,
though the spiral roller has a good
following for certain classes OF in
stallations.

WORKMANSHIP ON

PRAISED BY WRITER
Englishman Expresses Ad-

Frank admiration :1r the American

The author of the article, who was
in the United States recently to at

Akron, and Detroit. He also met here
two Of his countrymen, Sir William
Let's, of Crosslet Motors, and Sir
Herbert Austin, another English au-
tomotive leader, who was here to sat
isfy himself as to why America
"could produce automobiles at figure
such that, despite the 80 1-3 per cent
duty on imported cars to the United
Kingdom, they could nevertheless be
sold at keen prices there"

plants had the privinege of inspect

the Cadillac. Many people still have
the idea that all American cars are
constructed with minimum of hand
work, and in most cases this is true.
In the case of the Cadillac, however.
was very interested to note the great
amount of handwork employed in the
construction of this car. At the time
of my visit no fewer than 400
men were employed solely on inspec-
ton worn. They have full authority,
backed up by the management, TO
turn down or scrap whatever in their
judgment should be so treated, thus

plenty of space, at the same time
there is no waste. In the first place.
contrary to the general american prac-
tice, the complete assembling of am en-
CINE is done by one man and an assist
ant. Accuracy is the motto posted up
throughout this factory, and. judging
by the scrupulous care which is every
where noticeable, this motto is lived
up to.

class production the Cadillac car I'M
doubtedly is, it is certainly remark

Unusual Performance

The ancient city Of Pekin, capital
of the Chinese Republic, and the
residence of the Emperor during the

faced with brick and stone which
figured largely in the history Of the
city during the past. y
This wall is quite a proposition for
any invading force to contend with,
being about 80 feet in height and cor
respondingly thick at the base. 1t
was seized by the revolving Chinese
during the Boxer Rebellion, and from
its top they fired upon the Allied
forces and threw down burning
brands on the refugees in the Legation
quarters.
STAGE that time, in order to prevent
a recurrence OF this incident, the we'll
has been divided off by fences and
barricades to prevent any single for:e
Of men from getting control of all Of
it. Some of the wall, moreover, IL
now Reserved exclusively Cor the use
of foreigners.
Leading up to the top Of the wall
are long ramps, paved with rough
brick, and pitched at a steep angle.
The grade of these ramps is 81 per
cent. 1t recently occurred 10 y. J..

there are many, but will aim to take
you through country fair to look

At the outset it should be stated
that a circle tour Of Virginia. such as
is contemplated here, cannot be made
over all macadam highways. and that
many of the roads Travelled will be
found to provide poor riding at times.
But then. since this is to be a leis-

comfort at any time, and for the most
part the trip will be over highways
as smooth and fair as any the proud

Going from Washington to Winches-

one via Leesburg and Bluemont. cross
