10,000TH AJAX

The ten thouSandth Ajax Six has
been produced. according to the Jack
Neal Nash company. 1T came of
the Zine" the factory in Racine, Wis
consin. Friday, November 30. just one
week less than six months from the
day the first production Ajax was
built. There was keen interest among
the workers throughout the Ajax
plant in the 10,000th car. The motor,
as it proceeded down the final assem-
bly, line, was decorated with a bou-
quet Of American beauty roses and a
hearty cheer greeted the finished car
as it was run OF the assembly line
and out onto the company's test track
for final inspection before shipment.
"Wbat pleases us most" said George
c. Hubs, general sales manager Of
Ajax Motors Company, sis that the
thousands of cars in the hands of
owners since last spring have given
splendid account of themselves. 1t is
an interesting fact that ut no time

there been any effort on the part of
the factory to increase production
beyond point of sound manufacture,
in spite of pressure from dealers for
more cars. As 4 matter of fact, dur
ing the first four or five weeks, pro-
duction was deliberately held down to
ten or twelve ears a day.
Increases were made, from time to
time, on careful basis until produc-
ton finally reached n stable volume.
Meanwhile, Ajax performance in the
hands Of owners throughout the coun-
try and abroad, made necessary plans
for additional factory equipment so
that production might be increased
100 per cent TO meet the demand of
the buying public.
This increased production will be-
come operative with the installation
of the necessary machinery and equip
ment which probably will have been
completed about February l."

Chrysler Cuts Il Minutes
From Old California
4 Road Record.

Flashing through snow, rain and
over and down mountains, a stock
Chrysler Six roadster recently broke
al motor car speed records between
Los Angeles and San Francisco. 1t
averaged 81 "a miles an hour for the
439 miles of the run.
The car Topped a full % minutes
from the best previous record, estab-
lished last April by professional
driver with a car used to make speed
records all over the country. Since
that time, many attempts by various
cars to secure this enviable record for
themselves have failed to lower the
mark over the historic Valley Route.
III REAL STAMINA.
This newest evidence of Chrysler
stamina and reliability appears all
the more remarkable in that driver,
totally without previous experience in
4 run of this nature, made it, and with
his. own personal car.
Total time for the 439 miles, includ-
ing one stop for gasoline, at Fresno,
aud another to replace a punctured
hours and 30 minues. Time was
checked and certified by the Western
Union at each end of the run, with
constant checkings through various
towns by Edward Shattuck, who rode
as an observer with John V. Boyd,
the driver.
Car and pilot were checked out of
the Western Union Office at Sixth
and Spring streets, Los Angeles, at
o:30 +. NJ, and the Western Union

streets, at exactly O A. NJ.
OWN PERSONAL CAR.
Mr.. Boyd, who drove the entire dis
lance, is a salesman for the Ensign
Num- Co., Chrysler dealers at Ingle-
wood, Calf. The run was made in his
personal car at his own expense, and
was made because Of his expressed de-
sire to ascertain more fully the per-
torrance abilities Of the car he repre-
sents.
AFTER negotiating the traffic out
Of Los Angeles and Hollywood, we
maintained n consistent pace" Mr..
Shattuck advised Chrysler factory ex-
eeutiyes, in commenting on the epochal
run. "The tortuous grapevine Of the
trips early stages was made doubly
bard to drive on by a snow storm
which covered the pavement to depth
OF half inch or more, necessitating
continual use of the windshield wiper.
No particular difficulty was expert
onced, however, due TO Boyd's abil-
ity to keep the car under perfect con.
troll with the hydraulic four-wheel
brakes.
Eve managed to run out this storm
waen we reached the level Of the big
California Valley.

automobile on the road. We checked
into Fresno at 80 a. m, took on gas
oline and were away, piling up mile
after mile with the speedometer con-
stantly touching the 70-mile figure,
and exceeding it whenever a smooth,
straight, wide stretch offered itself.
Cutting off the main highway, we then
climbed over the Pacheco Pass. TWEEN
ty miles or more south Of San Jose we
ran into a drizzle. This turned into
a downpour as We continued, with al
most cyclonic speed, toward that
city. Going out of San Jose we picked
up a nail, but had lot of fun chang
ing he tire there in the rain.
From there up the peninsula to
San Francisco the road was danger
ously slippery because of the way it
was built and the continuing rain. Oc-
casionally it was necessary to slow
down to a moderate traffic pace to
keep within the borinds of reasonable
safety"
NO WATER OR OIL ADDED.

cisco the time was Immediately certi-
fled there. Then a committee from the
San Francisco section of the Society
Of Automotive Engineers, composed Of
Edwin G. Wood, chairman; C. w.
Gebhardt and W. S. Cowell, thorough
ly inspected the car and declared it a
stock model in every respect. Gear
ratio, ignition, carburetor and the var
ious parts throughout the car were
found to be identical with those used
in all Chrysler Skies. An auxiliary
gasoline tank was added to lessen the
number of stops for fuel.
No water nor oil was added to the
original supply.
"The road record between Los An
geles and San Francisco has been a
mark to shoot at ever since the early
days of the motor car" said J. z.

sales of the Chrysler Corporation.
