BURKE PEERLESS

Practical Man With Com

Business

The recent election of D. A. Burke
as president and general manager of
the Peerless Motor Car company places
at the head of the organization a prac-
tical automobile man, who has an in.
innate knowledge of every phase of the
business.
While he has for a long time been
engaged in the successful merchandise
ing of automobiles, Mr.. Burke has also
been intensely interested in motor car
engineering and manufacturing.
He is stickler for the highest posi-
Bile type of craftsmanship backed and
proved out by inspections and tests Of
the most exhaustive character. He is
not content to leave the latter entirely
to others. Frequently he takes a car
out of the factory garage and leaves

single month he has taken as many as
four lengthy trips, covering days at a
time, driving the car, feeling it out,
seeing what 1t would do, giving it pun
ishment far beyond anything it would
receive in ordinary usage.

HIGH MILEAGE

Officials of the Hupp Motor Car cor

vital parts for a greater margin of
strength in proportion to known strain
than the Hupmobile.
Such provision declares r. A.
Bailey. Jr., vice president of Motor
Sales corporation, lis one of the simple
secrets of long life, and is why the
earliest models we built are still in
daily service in all parts of the world"
Among recent letters received at the
Hupp offices in Detroit from its own
ers are many that tell of Hupmobile
that have each given in excess of 100,-
900 miles of service to date. The ag-
gregate mileage of II of these cars

NASH TESTS
METALS DAILY
Accurate And Uniform Hardness
Is Thus Assured

The customary method of ascertain
ing the hardness Of cylinder block is
to make a Brinnell test about once a
month, whereas, Nash tests each daily
run Of the Nash foundry. The hardness,
of Nash cylinder blocks is controlled by
a special process. The process consists
of mixing a special metal as harden.
ing agent with pig iron so as to procure
a uniform hardness. Careful analysis is
made Of every foundry mixture after
the blocks are cast and If they do
not pass this rigid analysis they are
remelted. Because Nash metallurgists
know the exact percentage of the hard
ening agent contained in the remelted
blocks, they know precisely how much
additional special metal to add.
It is possible by this method to
maintain an accurate and uniform hard
ness In each daily mixture In the foun-
dry and the Nash engineering chart
line which shows daily hardness meas
ured in Brinnell scale never varies over
20 points.
The endurance of a motor is large
" due to the hardness of it's Cylinder
block. If the block is soft then the pis-
ton rings wear the Cylinder walls, re-
sulting in loss of compression and oil
pumping. Nash is able by the method
outlined above to make absolutely GER
tain that every Nash motor block is
between $50 and 200 Brinnell hardness.
This is as hard as motor block can
Pc made and still be properly machined.
The result Is that Nash factory is
bound to give unusually long and sat
isfactory life in the hands of its owner.

MANY DAYS TO
PAINT PEERLESS
Painstaking Care Given Every
Step In Process

A problem that Is receiving more at
tention by car manufacturers than ever
before is that Of the fine exterior finish
OF the automobile. For years this
problem has been constantly studied by
Peerless body engineers.
Any automobiles new" appearance,
they agree, is almost entirely a ques-
ton OF proper painting. Infinite care
Is taken al every stage of the Peerless
painting operations to insure finish
that will retain its original luster as
long az human ingenuity can devise.
Each Peerless Eight takes twenty
eight days to paint, with frequent and
detailed inspections made at every step
Of the process. The same scientific con-
sideration and individual care is given
to this work as to the construction of
bodies and chassis.
From the time each body comes from
the sand blast until it is passed for
final inspection, coats of metal primer
or Filler, glaze. rough, color and color
yarnish, rubbing varnish and finish
vafnish, follow each other. Several
of the painting operations are of
course, repeated one or more times.
After each painting the body is
placed in one Of five drying ovens which
have capacity of fifty bodies each,
and remains there twenty-four hours,
subject TO the correct temperature,
which is maintained by steam heat and
specially designed fans.
All shipments of paint and varnish
received by the Peerless Motor Car
company are continually being analyzed
to preserve the high quality standards
necessary to meet Peerless painting

When one headlight works and the
other fails, suspect first burned out
bulb. Replace the bulb and if that
doesn't help matters, go over the wiring
connecting that particular bulb. If one
light is dim, the bulb may be defective
or there may be partial short in the
wiring to this bulb. A Pickering light
suggests loose connection or inter
mittent short. A worn socket of weak
spring in the lamp socket may cause
this trouble and renewal is the only
help.
1t is usual to have both headlights

at once or get dim at once the answer
is that the trouble lies in a wire com.
mon to both lamps. Or it may be in
the switch, which is perhaps shorted
or defective. If you suspect the switch,
bridge it with a wire and see If the
trouble disappears. If it does the
switch is at fault.
In running down lighting troubles,
it is good plan to compare the system
with its wires to a system of pipes.
Shorts are caused by breaks in the
pipes, that is to say the insulation of
the wires and loose connections are
clogged pipes. Once you realize this
