engine that should go into the new
car to meet present day require
ments. This fifth engine was built
more than a year and a half ago and
thoroughly tested. AS a result Of
these tests. the sixth and final engine
was built, which was essentially the
same as the fifth, with refnements
and improvements that had been
dictated by the gruelling tests to
which the previous designs had been
put.
.. The various engines built had diff
ferent displacements, different bore
stroke ratios, different oiling systems.

signs of crankshafts

Racing Drivers
Choose ChrYSler Cars

Chrysler cars are the personal cars
of many notables of the automobile
racing world. Numbered among these
are Ralph De Palma. Frank Elliott
Lora L. Corum, Phil Shafer, Art Klein,
Bennett Hill, Leon Duray, Pete Kreis.
Riley Brett, Ralph Hepburn, Ira Vail
and many others.
All these boys have Contributed to
the Industrious history of the inter
national speed classics held at the
Indianapolis Motor speedway.
Val Haresnap member of the con-
test board of the a. A. A, is also a
Chrysler owner.
Asked why this is so. the Boys
gave many good reasons. practically
all of which are summed up in the
words of one of them, who said:
THE Chrysler factory is the most
modern manufacturing establishment
/ have ever visited. Everything is
done. with the very latest type of ma
chinery. Practically everything that
goes into Chrysler car is made in
the Chrysler factories. with a degree
of accuracy that was truly amazing
to me.
THE hollow, seven-bearing crank
shaft of the Chrysler car is balanced
under every known test before it is
placed in the motor. The same pro-
cedure is followed in balancing other
reciprocating parts.
The significance of this vitality I'M
portant balancing is in its elimination
of frictiop and vibration. This was
forcefully brought home to me when

This makes % consecutive months

accomplishment becomes still more no.

the greatest year in Nash history,

for the first six months of this year
reveals striking record of growth.
These are the figures:

Tested Six Engines
Before Deciding

Before the new Pontiac six was
placed into production by the Oak
land Motor Car company, six different
engines were built and tested out for
thousands of miles over a period of
three years in order to determine the
final design of the engine to go into
the car.
These six engines were not all
built at once, several of them being
improvements on the earlier ones.
Some of the motors were radically
different in design-a high speed
type, for instance, being among those
considered.
The fifth engine built was unani-
mously decided upon by both Oak

information secured from Mr..
Strome's statement discloses that
the 1922 REQ has piled up total OF

been accomplished with only three
valve grinding operations and sim

The total cost of repairs for this
mileage has been s1S4.07. Simple fig
uring brings this down to an expense
of s.O009 per mile or II miles for one
cent of maintenance cost. 1t is also
notable that during the greater part
of the time when this record was be-
