STILL USING
old MODELS
Company Has Machine Shop
for Production of Parts to
Antique Machines

As n speeds along the smooth
of the country, noticing
the hundreds of up-to-date cars that
pass they give very little thought to
Inc millions of ears made before the
present date N seldom think what
their fate has been. Occasionally,
however, one ees one of the real old
models and they sometimes wonder
what the owners of some OF these cd
er cars do when they need service
parts,
There are few automobile concerns
whose production dates back a quarter
of a century or even a decade. but
the ODDS Motor Works, whose pro.
duction dates back for tina length
of time. realizes the value of service
on its older models and a short time
ago. in order to better service the
needs OF the past models. installed
an entirely new machine shop for the
production on an economical basis OF
parts for the earlier cars. The ma.
chine shop is thoroughly equipped
with machines of almost any type
necessary to adapt to the machining
of diversified parts. The service de-
partment often finds 1t necessary,
ever to the surprise of the executives,
to machine parts for cars which were
manufactured during the carly days
of the industry.
This new machine shop has been
put into operation and neither time
nor expense ave beer spared to rem.
der 1t efficient. In size 1t is com
parable to many small manufacture
ing plants and experienced operators
and some of them specialists. are
kept busy making parts.
Executives of the company state
that distributors in all sections of this
country are receiving calls from time

whose owners stiIl drive these care
This. II is said. is particularly true o.
the more remote rural communities
of the south and west where pride In

late model cars, is lot SO pronounced

BALLOON TIRE
TO give MORE
CAR COMFORT
Indication Is That Industry Is
On Threshold of Big
Development

Indications are thai the tire in
dustry is on the threshold OF n great
development-the so-called 'baIloon"
tire. In this newest of improvements
IL is likely that the cord construction
will be utilized because it has proved
its durability and reliability. A much
larger section and thin walls prob
ably will make Il possible to ride on
far less air pressure. thus giving
greater protection to the car through
reduction in vibration n Mt the
same time a~ffording much more COM
fort to passengers. An OF these things
viii be brought about possibly with
out sacrificing economy. All OF the
larger tire manufacturers are con
Quoting experiments on this tire of
greater cross section but smaller
diameter.
II is difficult to express in words
tho comfort derived from riding on
these velvety tires. Irregularities of
the road surface are toned down so
that they are almost imperceptihle
while driving at speeds that would
almost throw the passengers out OF
the seats on the present cord tire.
1t Is not possible, of course. to do
away with the ups and downs of the
road but on the so-callcd 'balloon'
tire everything is SO cushioned that
the knocks md jolts are d~issipated
before they ever reach tie car,
While h developments Of this
new tire have not progressed to a
point where it is possible to state all
OF the sizes which will be employed
1t is quite likely that popular sizes
will be 2sx4, 3ox5, 32x6. and 34x7. Pos.
sibly the maximum air pressure ia
be carried in these tires will be rs
pounds with a minimum of approx
mately is pounds. all of which is
governed by the diameter and tn,
weight to be carried per tire.

OAKLAND SIX
HANGS UP new
SPEED RECORD
Wins Both Sweepstakes
Trophy and Class Cup In
Yosemite Economy Run

The Oakland Six hung up another
record on the Pacific coast-this time
a speed record-which followed on
the heels of the sensational victory
OF the Oakland In the Yosemite
Economy run in which II won both
the sweepstakes trophy and class
cup.
In an officially observed test u
over the cotati speedway recently

minutes-an average Of 67.8 miles
per hour for more han seven hours
o. continuous running.
The contest formed n dramatic end
ing OF this popular race course. rs
the day following the race the course
was dismantled.
The car was started on its run 4;39
in the morning and flashed across
the 600 mile mark M minute past
noon. The driver at the finish de-
clared that the motor wa running
more smoothly than at the start and
general amazcment was expressed at
the performance OF tho car.
Coming after the remarkable per.
Torrance in the economy run when
the Oakland six made an average ~
1892 miles per gallon ver the high
Sierra mountains. the event proves
the speed power and durability Of the
car as well as its economy.

from the consumer about the effect
Of these larger tires on the car opera
ton, One of the principal Of these
questions IS that dealing with fue'
consumption. In general the large
diameter tire no more nor
no less fuel thar the high pressure
pneumatics. This statement is based
upon test tires of various sizes which
have been run over thousands OF
miles at the Miller Rubber
in Akron. Ohio.
1t has been found true that with a
large cross section tire the car coasts
as freely and accelerates practically
the same as with the high pressure
pneumatics. Evidence is not positive
but the indications are thai there may
be a very slight difference in the
possible speed TO be attained.
Another question that arises con.
Germs steering. This is a logical ques.
ton because nearly all motorists have
found steering a little more difficult
with their front tires slightly under
inflated. Laboratories show tina road
contact of the large cross section tire
IS practically twice that of the high
air pressure pneumatics.
Under such conditions II is natural
to find steering a little difficult nj
low speeds. However. under average
driving conditions this is scarcely
noticeable. On the other hand. this
greater roa contact is found of dis.
tinct advantage in crossing street
car tracks. The wheels are not de
Elected in making tho cross over. ever
though the wheels may be run almost
parallel with tracks.
1t is found that braklng Ia n far
simpler proposition on the larger tires
than on the high pressure pneu
MATES. A great road contact which
brings into play many more of the
anti.skid devices necessarily reduces
the possibility of skidding. On wei
pavements with the brakes in good
condition and oqualized it is almost
impossible to make these tires skid
The same is true on snow and ice
although in applying the brakes for
sudden stop the driver is confronted
with the possibility of locking tn,
wheels which IL true of the high ali
pressure pneumatics.
While these tires are still in tn
experimental stage. Il is not unlikel,
that they viii be in pretty commoi
use within the next two or thrc0
! wars.

Of Autoists

\ new n exceptionally beautiful
Columbia Six sedan is now being in
troducei to local motorists by Col.
umb.a SIX dealers.
This mocef. known as the Special
Six sedan embodies improvements
and refinements of many kinds. 1t is

design. with gracefully curved lines
that replace the sharp corners of Old,
er Columbia closed bodies. 1t is new
in finish, u~pholstering, seat cushion
contraction. hardware, springs equip
ment-a finer a all the way
through.
Optional coiors are offered-Max-
ine Blue and Chester Hunt Red. No
pains have been spared to assure the
highest possible quality of finish. The
beauty Of the sedan as it stands in
the display room is beauty hat will
last.
Among the items Of STANDARD equip
ment are such unusual values as an
automatic windshield wiper. rear

pers at front and rear. sunshade and
heater. Other commonly provided
eQu pIutnL, SuCH as lOOL anu RODE rdllS
and the various details of fine closed
car construction are, of course also
Included.
The mechanical dependability OF
the Special SIX is best described by
the simple statement that 1t rides on
the famous Columbia a~ll.feature
chassis. which has set enviable per
Torrance n economy RECORDS in
every section of the country.
The new sedan is built with the
purpose of making available in a car

engineers are willing to stake their
regulations on its ability to look, last
and act like the average car costing

This model is just entering guam
tity production. \ few cars have
been furnished to Columbia distrib-
utors and already orders are on hand
for big shipments. Several distribu-
kors report hat their first samples
sold on sight and they are clamoring
for more. There is no doubt in the
