that it would be necessary to de-
velop 80 miles to the gallon cars
if we were to be able to continue
the use of automobiles on account
of the serious drains on our gaso-
line production. Traffic experts
have argued that lighter cars, less
bulky, faster on their feet and
parking in less room, were neces-
sary if we were to continue to have
the use of our city streets for driv-
ing.
Car owners have looked to a re-
lief from slow moving on the high
ways where the traffic lines string
out for miles on Sundays.
This Overland Whippet, accord
ing to it's performance standards,
should be able to meet all of these
requirements.
1t is not to be unexpected that it
will be the type of car that will
soon be generally seen in our bus
lest streets for owners of larger
cars will want something along the
Whippet lines for town driving. 1t
is not unlikely to look for it to
make heavy inroads in other light
car sales fields for it has the per-
formance ability that light car
owners have been looking for. 1t
should prove a welcome car at

The Winslow mail., 1926-07-23

1t has been anticipated for some
months that a large American
builder of motor cars would soon
be on the market with a European
type low, light car. The initial
production of what may be the fore
runner of a complete change in our
great mass production of light au-
tomobiles made its appearance in
this city last week. 1t is the Over
land Whippet, on which the engi-
neers of Willys-Overland, Inc, have
been working, both here and in
Europe, for the past two years.
This new car is totally different
from anything we have ever seen
before in this country. 1t looks
different, it acts different and it
serves a different but constantly
increasing demand Mechanically,
1t is an adaptation of the best that
Europe has to offer in the way of
powerful, economical engines, with
a wide speed range, more power
forG& imbing than has characteriz-
The Winslow mail., 1926-07-23

and designed to eliminate whipping
or piston slaps at high car speeds.
The oiling system comes in for
especial attention. 1t is the mod
ern full pressure system. A drilled
crank shaft is offered for the first
time in light car construction in
this motor The whole design of
| the lubricating system follows the
| practice set for our larger cars, oil
being forced through the crank
| shaft to the bearings and thrown
off the main bearings to lubricate
| the cylinder walls and valve me-
| chanisms.
The oil reservoir is in the pressed
steel motor base and two BATTLE
plates keep the oil from surging
away from the pump.
Cooling is by pump circulatory
system with over 5000 square inch
es of cooling area.
Four Wheel Brakes
An innovation in light car con-
struction is found in the four wheel
brakes which are of the type of de-
sign used on better than 80 per cent
of the finest European cars where
all types of four wheel brakes have
been thoroughly tested and tried
out. The brake drums are II inch
es in diameter giving braking
surface greater than on many larg-
er cars.
Overland engineers say that the
type of brakes used on the Whippet
grow better and more efficient with
use. The elaborate attention which
has been paid to braking equip
ment in this car has come as re-
suit of the performance capacity
which, with it's rapid acceleration
and it's high speed capacity requires
a prompt acting and highly effici-
ent system of control.
Unit System Power Plant
Motor, clutch and transmission
are in one unit, the clutch benig
of the single plate type, transmits
sion being the modern three for
ward speed, selective sliding con-
struction with an extra long change
gear lever to facilitate the opera
tion of the gear shift.
An enclosed propeller shaft is
used and the rear axle is of the
semi-flating type with the axle
members removable. 1t is carried
in banjo type rear axle housing
Starting and Lighting
Auto-Lite system, two unit con-
struction starting and lighting is
employed and an Auto-Lite igni-
ton system is used. This is in line
with the use of this type of equip
ment throughout the entire produc-
tion of Overland and Willys-Knight
cars.
Presages Radical Changes in
Light Cars.
The Overland Whippet is an in
novation. And it has all the ear
marks of being one of those devel-
opments which make history in the
industry. 1t resembles nothing on
the market in it's size class. In it's
constitutional features, in its lines,
in it's concessions to comfort and
appearance, it is car which ranks
The Winslow mail., 1926-07-23

along with the finest productions
which are being put out in the mo-
tor car world today.
1t differs from the cars after
which it is patterned, the European
| models, in that it has standard Sc
inch tread and is in every way a
motor car of size. 1t should eff
fectively end the prospects of any
! European invasion of the American
market with light cars.
Men familiar with the European
market say that it will be serious
| rival to all of the European light
car production and the factory has
| already laid elaborate plans thru
the Willys-Overland Crossley Co.,
of Manchester, England, to go af-
ter the European trade in a huge
way.
1t has already been viewed by
men prominent in Australian and
Oriental motor car markets and
! has been hailed as the greatest car
I ever developed for these countries.
But it differs equally much from
all established American manufac-
turing in the way it is built.
Its very constructional differenc-
es should constitute the basis for
it's first general acceptance for it
has the distinction of being differ
ent. The lowness of the body is
increasingly attractive as the car is
studied, especially after the car has
been ridden in over rough roads or
through traffic. This traffic driv-
ing feature is one of great interest
for the Whippet threads through
the traffic maze of the most con-
gested streets with an ease that is
surprising.
And it parks with the most as
tOnishing ease, requiring hardly
more than thin dimes worth of
room to back up against the curb.
Certainly it's performance ability
will find ready recognition for it
will be new experience to the av-
erage light car owner to be able to
drive at go miles an hour with a
feeling of perfect security and to
step away in traffic at the acceler-
alton rate which has been demon
strated as quality of the Whip
pet.
If the claims of the engineers to
[ from % to 80 miles from gallon
of fuel in average driving, are
borne out in the hands of owners,
this Whippet will reduce the gaso-
line consumption in the light car
field from 40 to so per cent and
will serve the owner with that
much more general satisfaction.
There should be no reason to ex-
| pect other than this high mileage
from the fuel for it is being ordin-
arily obtained from European mo-
tors of similar design and the mo-
tor in the Whippet has measured
up to every other standard of Euro
pean construction.

MechanIcaI Features
AS has been prOphesied during
the past few months, this, the first
of the European type light cars to
be built in this country is designed
along the most advanced of modern
engineering lines to get a wide
range Of power and performance
from small and therefore economi-
cal motor dimensions.
The bore is Is inches and the
stroke is 3-9 inches, giving a pis-
ton displacement of 134.2 inches.
This is somewhat larger than the
average for the European type mo-
tors but is smaller than any other
American built motor of stock pro-
duction. The increase over the
English and French dimensions was
made to give the car certain per-
formance features in high gear
which are not required by Euro
pean users. 1t is said that this
Whippet will climb any hill that
any of our best light skies will
climb in high and its comparative
acceleration has already been dem
OnStrated.
The pistons are of cast iron but
are extremely light in weight as are
the connecting rods. The crank
shaft is short and heavier than that
used in any other r-cylinder car
of equivalent dimensions, and
weighs 27 pounds. 1t is balanced
statically and dynamically and ELI

a degree never before achieved in a

Expense Accounts Show That
Average Meal In N. D.
Costs IS Cents

Meals may be had for GD cents ~
most anywhere in North Dakota but
it costs more to eat in cities outside
the state, according to the ODserva-
tions Of State Auditor John Steen
who examines the bills presented to
the state for payment and submits
them to the state auditing hoard for
approval.
ION the whole people WHO work
for the state do not seem to be heavy
eaters" remarked SteeR THAT, is
they do not spend more for meals
than seems reasonable. We have
little or no complaint on that score =
Under the state law persons spend
ing more than 81 for any item are
required to show receipt for it.
The result is, Stecn sud, that many
items arc listed at % cents which
really cost dollar or more simply
because the person incurring the ext
pcnsc did not want to ask for q re-
ceipt. Steen often handles his own
expense account in that manner, he
said, rather than embarrass himself
by asking for the receipt.
Some Pay Part Of Cost
State officials who are inclined
to be heavy spcnders often bear a
part Of their own expenditures when
they realize that they are larger
than they reasonably could, expect
the state to pay, he said. The most
liberal spender whose accounts are
audited by Steen is member of
an important state board. "He thinks
nothing Of spending from five to
eight dollars day for room," said
Steen4 but he doesn't expect the
state to pay it. He turns in the re-
ceipt for the full amount but lists
the item on his expense account at
the prevailing rate being charged in
the city where the expense was incur
red.
