N [ v PLATING
USED BY j. s.

The features that have made
chromium plating attractive to mo-
torists since introduced on Oldsmor
bile radiator shells during the past
year are being put to work by the
United States Government in man
ufacturing money at lower cost.
This ultraplating is now being
used to improve the protective sur
face Of the plates from which our
paper money is printed. Its use
has resulted in substantial saw
ing to the Government.
Until recently the currency print
ing plates were made by rolling
the design into a soft steel plate
which was then ,casehardened.
These yielded from 10000 to 10000
Impressions before the fine lines Of
abrasive particles of pigment in
the inks and the heavy pressure
used in printing.
Electrolytic plates composed Of
layers of copper and nickel were
tried. These were cheaper to make
but did not last as long. Then ex-
periments were made with chro-
MUM plating. A report from the
United Engineering Society states
that this plating deposited on the
nickel surface of an electrolythic
plate in a film only two ten-thou-
sandths Of an inch thick. increases
the useful life OF the plate at least
four times that of a nickel surface
and twice that Of a casehardened
steel surface.
Tests made by the United States
Bureau of Standards of scratching
chromium with a diamond show
that it is the hardest metal thus
far examined. 1t was the bureau
that developed chromium plating
methods for currency printing.
Chromium plating was practically
unknown in a commercial way
when it was introduced into the
automobile industry by Oldsmobile
and General Motors. It's hardness,
which brought about its use by the
Government. made it an ideal plat
ing for automobile surfaces exposed
to wear. In addition it has an
other quality that made it ideal
for use on automobiles and which
influenced its adoption by Odds
mobile. This is its resistance to
tarnish and atmospheric corrosion.
An occasional wiping off with a
rag is all that is required to main
tain its high, blue-white luster. In
fact its surface is so hard that
polish has no effect on it.
The practical test given chromium
plating on thousands of Oldsmobile
radiator shells during the past
year has more than proven its
worth to the automotive industry.

II - pointed ous that While the
automobile dollar" today is worth
$1.1s, the purchasing power of the
general commodity dollar is so
cents. taking the 1914 dollars as a
base.
While list prices of automobiles
today are as low. and even lower,
than In 1914, Nash cars, for instance,
are equipped with many important
features, such as four-wheel brakes,
balloon tires, disc wheels. force-feed
motor fabrication, seven-bearing
> crankshaft motors, and wealth of
additional mechanical improvements
and refinements.
Passing over thoroughly modern
body lines and details of luxurious
trim and appointment, and looking
merely at mechanical refinement,
the progress that has been made in
the past few years is described by
those familiar with motor car con-
struction as amazing"
Frame Important
Although few automobile owners
pay particular attention to the
frame of their car, it is an import.
ant element in safety, endurance
and comfort. The modern France is
tubular trussed for extra strength
without excess weight, the tubular
cross members offering five times
the resistance of plain members, to
the twisting and wrenching of
rough roads.
Thus, the body is protected from
strains which cause squeaks and
1nSN
point suspension of the engine, tu-
bular trussing avoids radiator and
fender "Shimmy." In like manner,
extra power that makes a high.
grade car more capable to drive,
particularly on the hills or in dense
traffic. is directly due to extra eff
ficient design-the Nash straight
line drive, for instance.
The power flows directly from the
engine to the rear axle in a straight
line. There are no angles along
the route to waste energy as there
would be If the motor were mounted
parallel to the frame. Thus the
straight-line drive accounts in part
for motor ggressiveness-for the
po erful pickup at low speeds and
Tor the absence of wear on the uni.
versal joints.
TwO-Way Brakes
TWo.way mechanical brakes, on
all four wheels, fully equalized, are
another important factor in comfort
and safety. TWo-way means inter-
nal expanding front wheel brakes
and external contracting rear This
assures safety. even though the driv-
er is descending mountainside and
brake drums are too hot to touch.
