Psssimists Fooled Again


/ Those pessimistic persons who
fear for the future of the automotive
industry as a matter of course should
| be careful not to read statistics too
closely. They might discover there
Is some hope for the future.
! Up until the first of this year the
industry had made 26,124,394 cars, of
which number 6,17o,047 had been
definitely scrapped, leaving close to
twenty million still running. To re-
place this twenty million at the pres
ient rate Of production, which is
Srecord- breaking, it would keep the
domestic car industry busy five
{years.
In other words, If no cars are sold
TO the millions who come of age, to
newly-weds, to the newly rich. to
present owners who will want an
extra car and to those persons gen.
Ierally who finally can satisfy the de-
sire to own al automobile, the in
eustry still can busy itself in a high
ly satisfactory way during the COM
l1ng five years.
D And at the end Of that period 1t
would be necessary to start in build
| ing more cars to replace the first
years batch of first requirements
which would be then five years old.
In tne future, cars are not gong 10
last so long, in years. They will last
! longer in miles but people will con-
ceptrate their transportation from
the time standpoint. Besides, there
are the frequent style and mechani
cal changes. Just as no woman
wears a last years hat any more, and
even houses go out of date, so auto
mobiles cannot escape the trend Of
the day which is toward newer and
better things all the time. Hence it
would appear that the pessimists
"satura ton point" in the automotive
industry is just a plain myth.

the steering wheel in the Advanced
Six models.
Further inspection of the improve
ments introduced on the advanced
six series discloses an ingenious new
thermostatic device which controls
the heat of the motor by regulating
water circulation. 1t operates to
shut off water circulation until the
proper running temperature of the
motor is reached, then it opens per-
hitting the water to circulate and in
this way Nash maintains at all
times the most efficient operating
temperature.
With respect to the advanced six
series Nash has also provided an
"agitator"-a revolving device di-
rectly under the intake screen of
the oil pump. This is devised so as
positively to prevent any coagula-
ton of oil on the screen even in the
coolest weather.
Included as standard equipment
are such features as an air cleaner,
an oil purifier, gasoline filter, A.
wheel brakes Of special Nash design
and exceptionally simplified char
acter, and five disc wheels.

In the 1925 German automobile
show to be held In Berlin from Oc-
tober 20 to November there still
will be no foreign makes of cars
represented. The automobile associa-

makes but must await the decision

In automobile races the rule is to
pass to the right when overtaking
another car?
In fifteen years Of experiment
and experience the increase in
track speed, as revealed by the
records of the Indianapolis races,
has been but approximately twenty
five percent? This year there
was a slight setback due to mechan-
ical difficulties resulting from the
radical reduction of piston displace-
ment to 91h inches. 1t must be
kept in mind that the real speedway
records are of az engineering nature.

SAYING What You Mean

SoyHi9 WhdI TOu mcdn
When discussing the mechanical
or when ordering spare parts, it is
highly important to be specific.
There are many parts of the auto
mobile bearing similar or identical
names
A car owner might speak Of having
burned out or damaged the "resis-
lance" But that does not help the
repalrer nor the parts department.
There is a resistance unit in the prim-
airy circuit of the ignition system,
and another resistance unit for dim
ming the headlights.
The word bearing" is too loosely
used. Car owners should say what
they mean. Say wheel bearing"
connecting rod bearing" or main
engine bearing" depending upon
circumstances. 1t saves mistakes.
The small lever on the steering
to the engine is not the throttle"
1t is one of two throttle controls"
The accelerator is the other That
big member supporting the rear of
the car is not the rear axle. 1t is
the axle housing" In each such
housing there are two 'live axles."
The panel upon which are mounted
the various guages and meters is not
the dash" 1t is the instrument
board" The dash is the wooden
partition separating engine compart-
ment from the driving compartment.
Don't say Gears" There are all
kinds of gears. Say Timing gears"
transmission gears" "pinion gear"
"speedometer drive gear" or what
ever one is referring to.
"Camshafts" and 'jackshafts" mean
the same thing. But headlight
lamp" is too loosely used. One
might order lamp and receive a
complete headlight including reflec-
tor and lens when only a new bulb"

Many Refinements
In New Models
Of Nash Cars

Coincident with the celebration of
the tenth anniversary of the found
ing of The Nash Motors company,
Nash dealers throughout the coun-
try are staging an impressive in
troductory display of the newly re-
fined advanced six and light six
models.
The height Of development to
which Nash has brought these cars
epitomiZes the phenomenal progress
of the company since the day the
first Nash car came off the produc-
ton line full decade ago.
Both from an engineering stand
point and with regard to the niceties
OF arrangement and appointment,
these two newly refined groups of
Nash models evidence even more
wildly the notable character of
Nash manufacturing resources.
Their advent presages an even
more phenomenal success for Nash
in the future than has been true of
the past although in the ten years
that have elapsed since the first
Nash car was marketed the company
mas reached position in the in
dustry ranking fifth or sixth among
all automobile manufacturers in the
world and Is enjoying an uninter-
rupted sales advance which for
rapidity and continuity of business
increase is outstanding In the in
dustry. During the first six months
OF this year Nash sales reached a
total of 1888 cars as contrasted to
the total sales for the entire year
1925 of 96,121 cars. And 1925 had
gained nearly 80 % over 1924.
Both the Series now being pre-
scented to the public are powered by
newly improved 7-bearing crank
shaft motors whose conspicuous
characteristics are extreme power
smoothness and quietness, combined
with exceptional acceleration ability.
AS regards the exterior appear
ance of these newly-refined models
there are two features which i'm
mediately attract attention. First.
is the artistically sculptured emblem
OF flying wings which surmounts the
radiator. Next, is the harmonious
richness OF the new color combina-
tons with which Nash has dressed
these models. All Of the open body
models in these two groups are done
IN duotone color combinations with
the BODY molding marking the d.
vision line between the two coIors.
The light six 4-door sedan which
is the leader of the light six series
presents longer, roomer body with
an increased amount Of leg room.
The rear of this body attracts the
eye because of its beautifully round
ed contour and antmportant feature

motorist great deal of expense and
trouble, because he looks in the
wrong place for the defect.
Take the ammeter. When it shows
discharge with all lights and the
ignition off, the chances are that the
relay, or generator cut-out, points are
stuck. The battery is discharging
back into the generator. Suspecting
such a condition, a motorist started
TO remove the generator cut -out and
then, remembering he was taking a
chance of blowing out the fuses, de-
cided first to disconnect the battery.
When he had done this. the ammeter
continued to register discharge even
though there was no current in any
of the wires. The pointer had been
thrown off center, but it was only
by chance that it was discovered.

Some of he most ANNOYING noises
in car have the simplest of origins.
This is particularly true of the ac-
cessories to the body such as seat
cushions, window lifters. door hand
les, robe rails and similar fitments.
If a seat cushion Is not in place,
1t may develop a squeak. Further
more, it may bear upon the cover of
the tool compartment in such a way
as to create most perplexing noises.
Foot rests sometimes come loose
enough to cause odd noises, and If
a little oil is not applied to it's hinges
a squeak may be expected as an
obligato. Ash trays and match box
es rattle occasionally and many an
annoying tap is nothing more nor
less than the Tapping of window
shade that is not rolled up tight.

1t is a mistake to Judge oil by
its condition after being removed
from the crankcase unless consider
alton is given to the conditions under
which it has cen used. Dilution is
almost directly dependent upon en-

play an important part. Some cars
are used constantly while out in

DdU IVtWS HDOut EOCKS
On and after January 1927, in
surance companies that are mem
bers of the National Automobile
Underwriters Conference will give no
credit for cars equipped with lock-
ing devices. The trouble, it seems,
is not with the locking devices, but
with the owners who forget to lock
them. According to an insurance
journal of Sc cars parked on the
lake front in Chicago 54 were left
unlocked.
This will be unfortunate news for
conscientious owners who lock their
cars and who are entitled to a credit.
All mortodom always has paid the
penalty for the acts of the irrespon-
Sible.

Others run short distances with long
waits in between. The latter will
show a high percentage of dilution
even with the best of oil. while the
former may lead one to believe that
poor oil is good oil. Even mistakes
in operation have much to do with
oil condition. The driver who cranks
for several minutes before discover
ing that he hasn't switched on the
ignition is certain to find his oil not
so good when he comes to have it
drained off.
