Gardiner Compel
Slow Travelling

Evidence that the travelling by
automobile is none too good was fur
nished yesterday by George Fox of
this city. who, with a party of friends
went to Damariscotta Sunday. The
party left Augusta at 10 o'clock in
the morning and were just seven
hours on the road between this city
and their destination. Their speed
was not helped to any great extent
by the fact that a car without chains
on left Gardiner ahead of them and
went into the ditch four times be-
tween Gardiner and Richmond.
The party got an early start to-
wards Augusta Monday morning,
leaving at A. NJ, but was forced to
wait for nearly two hours on the road
between Richmond Corner and Gar
diner because a fleet of large trucks
were caught in snow drift. Mr..
Fox was emphatic in stating that the
road between Richmond and Gardi-
ner was worse than the Rockland
Coast road. The trip was made in
Ford sedan owned by Clifford
Hatch of this city, formerly of Da-
mariscotta, and the party visited Mr..
Hatch's parents who own a big dairy
farm in Damariscotta. Mr.. Fox also
stated that the road on the way back
was in much better condition than
the trip toward Damariscotta and
was in fair condition except for the
one spot where the trucks were
caught in the snow.

Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, Cal,

two were cast adrift at sea in an open
boat, was made here last night by Ell

Waterville Motor Company Ex-
hibit Will Be Taken To Bos-
ton Automobile Show

with a background suggestive of
a Maine Christmas time landscape,
the ingenious mechanical arrange
ment for displaying the Studebaker
Big Six Victoria, which Is one of the
beauties of the 1927 line. in the show
rooms of the Augusta branch of the
Waterville Motor Company on Ban
gor street Is unique amongst the
Christmas displays in the Capital
City.
The mechanical arrangement,
whereby the $500 pound automobile
turns before the gaze for the inspec-
ton of the onlooker is most unusual.
and was conceived by Edgar A. Mar
den, manager of the Augusta branch,
and was constructed in the mechanic
al department here by the skilled
motor mechanics of the company.
Perfectly balanced on the dias the
big green car with a Single'wide band
of red ribbon drawn diagonally across
its lustrous hood, is thing of beauty.
With the shaded spot lights casting
soft glow down upon it as at re-
wolves on the turntable, the FURNISH
ed nickle fittings reflect back the
light and attract many to the win
dows for a close inspection Of the
automobile. the mechanical arrange
ment and the setting of fir trees and
Christmas season colorings.
So successful has proven the inven-
ton of Mr.. Marden as executed by
the Waterville Motor Company
mechanics that it will be taken to the
Boston Automobile Show. where it
will be the only turn table exhibit
in that wonderful display of new
models.
Many have wondered just how the
revolving dias is constructed and
powered, and when on inquiry they
learn that the $500 pounds of weight
is turned by one-twelf N horse
power motor, using the ordinary cur
rent of an electric light socket and
costing no more to operate, they ap-
preciate the mechanical precision and
perfection OF the arrangement.
The Studebaker car is so perfect
ly balanced that the weight is loaded
upon the dead center of the big
machine. The main bearings of the
turn table is Thinker equipped,
while the circumference guiding
bearings are New Departure The
motor. which is of 1850 revolutions
per minute, is stepped down by the
use of cog gears to 100; this in turn
is conducted through worm gear set
at five to one to the wheel and belt
that turn the dias at the rate 8. one
complete revolution of the displayed
automobile every 1-2 minutes. The
entire arrangement Is controlled by
time clock, which sets it in oper-
alton at an indicated hour in the
morning and automatically stops it
late in the evening.
Plainly visible through the plate
glass windows of the display room,
the exhibit attracts the attention, not
only Of pedestrians, but of passing
motorists as well. and many have
stopped their machines to return and
inspect the beautiful. smooth run
ming, and silent showing of one of
the handsomest of the new years
automobile models. In the show
room also is one of the Big Six
Sedans, which has been presented as
1.-The President" This car also is
finished in green and with It's decor
