CARS MADE SIMPLER.
First Auto Had Numerous Com
plicated Levers.

SimpIified control is one of the
main objects toward which automo-
tive engineers work.
The first automobile types contained
great many levers Of various types
for governing the different units of
the car. In 1895 it was hailed as u
remarkable achievement when a gaso-
line buggy appeared so constructed
that il could be sent forward and re-
verse and change speeds, all with the
same lever. The transmission simpli-
fication was just the beginning, and
each year now sees the development
of features that relieve the owner of
labor in connection with his car.

mitts and hand pads used in handling

repairing boots and shoes furnished
to men working with hot metal, and
in making gaskets and cup washers
for pumps.
In terms of production, the econo-

two million cars manufactured in
1928. In terms Of humanity, i'll in
