doesn't want anything to go wrong
with the steering apparatus.
Speaking generally, l think the day
is past when European engineers can
teach us much about automobile de-
sign. They can often get an i'm
provement into production faster than
| we can because all that is required
in European automobile factory to
make a change is to give new orders
to the workmen, while in an American
factory it is sometimes necessary to
install a vast amount of new ma
chinery, new jigs, fixtures, gauges
and dies.
"One is struck on entering an auto
mobile factory in Europe with the
batteries of engine lathes and or
binary milling machines. where in this
country one would find quantities of
automatic screw machines. automatic
milling machines and other automatic
equipment. OF course, the old engine
lathes and old milling machines are
all right if the Workmen handling
them are beyond question, but the
quality Of the work they produce
depends all the time on the skill and
the mental and physical condition Of
the individuals operating them.
Bodies Are Handmade.
'In the body shops are great num-
bers of men working out the wood
pieces with hand tools and quaint
ties of other workmen hammering out
each individual metal piece to cover
the wood framework. In our fac
tories, on the other hand, highly de-
veloped woodworking machinery turn
out the frame pieces more rapidly,
more accurately, with less waste and
at lower cost. Metal parts of our
bodies, no matter what their size or
shape, are produced by one quick
movement of a giant press or hammer,
and each is exactly the same as the
next one with all held to a rigid
standard Of perfection impossible with
the European method.
Results obtained by our mechanical
but rigidly precise methods, | believe,
are much superior 10 the hand meth
DDS abroad and are found in the cars
themselves. / believe that our finest
cars will outperform their finest ma
chimes.
"The European public, through ex-
petience, has learned the necessity for
four-whael brakes and has turned
thumbs down on cars not SO equipped.
Nothing has been developed, however,
which exceeds our own American de-
signed mechanical four-wheel brakes
in softness and positiveness Of action.
The trend of best engineering and
design abroad, as well as in the United
States, is toward simplification of mo-
tors and chassis. The trials and tribu-
lations experienced by owners of com
plicated motors and the greater econ
omy in maintenance of cars simple in
design have had a most decided infiu
ence with the European engineers"

The Old Mechanic Saws:

There are a number of owners in
this garage who like to change things
on their cars. 1t is good sign and
] like to see it in man, but some
of these fellows forget that you can't
change one thing without creatin' the
need for some other changes that may
not be SO welcome.
They blame the engineers and the
manufacturers for not being entirely
modern. This isn't fair, because the
manufacturers know that every new
thing added to q car creates a new
problem and they have to draw the
line somewhere.
In the course of DAVIS work. I
am called upon to install and attach
much new equipment. Much of this
stuff is very good, but I have started
the plan of warnin' all such owners
that if they are goin' to improve the
car they must also improve their UNI
derstandin' of it. They must study
the effects of the new attachments
and often work out their own solu-
tions to problems which may arise.
One fellow in mere changed the
fabrication system on his car. He did

not find grease very satisfactory be-
cause he thought it didn't get into
the vital parts as it should. Now he
uses heavy oil and the nipples neces-
sary to feed oil to the chassis bearins.
About two weeks after he made the
change he was back here with wor-
ried look on his face. One of the
steerin' king pin bushin's had slipped
up out of place-because of the very
successful fabrication.
l put two cylinder head gaskets in
one engine with the idea of lowerin'
the compression and helpin' the owner
get rid of a knock on hills, which
was constant unless he used no-knock
gaSolineS. Just as / anticipated, he
was back again in a few weeks to
tell me that the gas mileage wasn't
as high as before. He had gained
one advantage and lost another. And
before we got through 1t was neces-
sary to readjust the carburetor be-
cause of the increase in displacement
and lowered compression.
/ am for change and improvement,
but I'm not blind to the other changes
which any change makes necessary.

EUROPE CAN TEACH u. s.
LITTLE CONCERNING AUTO
COL j. g. Vincent, Noted Automobile Engineer,
Finds Really Nothing New in Car
ta,.i Designing Abroad

URoPEAN influence on Ameri-
- can motor car design has been
subject to considerable discus
- sion and comment throughout
the industry, particularly dur
ing the past year. A variation on tne
subject is offered by Col. J. G. Vim
cent, vice president of engineering of
the Packard Motor Car Co. who has
just returned from a trip abroad
where he studied automotive prac-
tees.
Europe has little to teach the
United States in motor car design and
manufacturing" says Col. Vincent.
There is really nothing new. The
automobile now has reached a stage
In its development where it is prac-
tically a standardized product Auto
mobile engineers from now on expect
little more than ref1nements in de-
sign and improvements in bodies
That has been my view for some time
and what ! saw in Paris and London
has only served to strengthen the
opinion.
What surprised me most at the
Paris Salon was the number of fabric
covered bodies. l can't believe that
they would take well in the United
States, at least not at the present
time. 1t is difficult to make them as
Sood-looking as cars of the American
standard because of an inherent diff
Guilty in obtaining as good-looking
lines or the finish required to meet
the present public demand here for
expressions of individualized color
tastes.
New Type of Finish.
THE nitrocellulose type of finish
Gas very largely eliminated one of the
chief reasons for building such bodies.
It is as good in appearance as the old
NarnfSh finishes, wears as well or bet
ter and is much easier to replace.
Probably one of the main reasons
that the fabric-covered body is popu-
lar right now in France is that the
typical French body is made in small
quantities, and for that reason is not
as well made as ours. The French
rigid type body won't stay put. How
ever. because of it's lightneSS and
probable inherent cheapness, the fab
ric type body may come into use in
this country, prticularly on low-priced
cars.
Some of the new spring suspen-
sions shown in Paris are interesting,
but / doubt if they ever get far. I
don't look for them to influence Amer
lean design greatly. They are too
complicated and have too many parts.
They accomplish nothing. Our mod
cIn springs of proper strength, and
equipped with proper notwithstanding
devices, produce just as good, or bet
ter, results. Son OF the French en-
gineers with whom I talked said they
didn't believe anything particular was
accomplished by their new springs.
Problems presented French en-
gineers by the condition of highways
are the same as ours. Like ours,
French roads are either very good or
hn6 A ha Il rrl,r
in a splendid state of repair. Most
of the side roads, however, have gone
to pieces and are full of holes, because
there is not enough money to main
tain them properly. On good roads
our springs are quite satisfactory
and on bad roads their strength and
rigidity are most necessary.
