Is OverhauIing Over?

Big repair shops are beginning to
complain of a scarcity Of overhaul
jobs. Cars are being revamped. true
enough, but in the side alleys and in
q haphazard way. This is believed
to be due to the low price tags on
new cars, owners referring to buy a
new machine rather than to have
the old one made over.
Used cars are being auctioned or
sold in lots. Individual cars receive
less attention and, therefore, do not
have to be in as good repair. Per-
sons who buy the used cars are not

will put up with a great many me-
schanical deficiencies so long as the
cars go.
Used car buyers are divided into
two distinct and entirely new groups.
They may be shrewd persons who
know values and who have the intel
ligence and energy to make old
things as good as new. On the other
hand, they may be individuals In
very reduced circumstances. Any
man with an average job and not
too many strings on his purse can
buy a new car on time nowadays.
This leaves the used cars to the less

TaNicabs, perhaps, are the most
convincing evidence of the automo-
bile's marvellous proficiency. Besides
the performances of these public con-
veyances, the service of the average
family car is almost insignificant.
Twice around the world is the
average distance travelled by hun
dreds of city taxicabs every year.
There are many machines in the
modest area of New York City's
small borough of Manhattan that
yearly achieve $4,000 miles without
getting out of the city's business
district. Some of them, in fact. travel
approximately $4,000 miles in the
course Of year.
These machines have a 24-hour
working day, increasingly combing
the streets for fares, pausing only
Tor lubricant, gas and repairs.
Double and even triple shifts OF
chaufteurs are employed to keep the
cars rolling along the 400 miles OF
Manhattan's streets.

Chevrolet Makes

The Chevrolet Motor COMPANY

new monthly record of S1,15S passen-

production total of 593,2S1 units for
the hrst nine months of 1926, eclipsing
the half million production of the en-
tire II months of 1925, Chevrolet's

of record breaking production. April
May and June with respective pro-
auctions Of 71,157, 74,617 and 1924
each established successive produc
tlon records. July production was re-
strlcted somewhat to permit the tool

copied by the antenna a beat note
is created. This is known as hcter-
odyning.
In driving IL works this way:
The road has a natural wave.
That is, it has certain high and low
points, particularly well illustrated
in the case Of a wavy asphalt
stretch or a concrete highway which
has raised a little at the expansion
joints The springs of the automo-
bile are susceptible to vibration on
a wide variety of wave lengths.
Play this local wave against the
wave of the road in just the right
way and d heterodyne beat is pro-
duced.
If the springs of the car are
vibrating in unison with the wave
length" of the road the car will get
to bouncing or galloping. Even il
it is well protected with shock abb
sorbers, the chances are that the
chassis will be disturbed enough to
make the car ride hard. But if a
heterodyne beat is developed the re-
sulting action OF the car may be even
more annoying.
Heterodyning is not neutralizing.
Many drivers try to neutralize the
waving of the road surface by
matching the natural vibration OF
the springs against it. Instead of
succeeding in neutralizing the vibra-
lions of both spring and road they
produce an entirely new and perhaps
more annoying heterodyne beat.
Ordinarily the vibrations of the
spring, or of the car as a unit, can
be varied by the speed of the ma
chine. This is analogous to turning
teh dials Of a super-het. Owing to
the wide variation in road surfaces,
and road wave lengths" no fixed
/ reading of the throttle can be relied
/ upon to produce the neutralizing eff
