NEW CHEVROLET CARS ARE
PRONOUNCED WINNERS
1928 Models Built Along Beauti-
full Lines and Greater Efficiency

Wildfre enthusiasm hindled thru
out the country Monday when the new
Chevrolet line for 1928 went on dis
play took particular account Of the
many mechanical innovations embod-
led in the new car.
Thousands who viewed the new
models noted that the wheelbase was
increased and bodies made roomier
and more beautiful; also that the me-
chanical features had been developed
to a measure heretofore unknown in
the low price class.
Outstanding developments in the
engine and chassis that received wide
spread endorsement were the increas-
ed speed and power of the new car,
easier steering, four wheel brakes of
new design, shock absorber springs
marking an advanced trend toward
riding comfort, and smoother engine
performance.
The last mentioned feature was
achieved by the use of constant clear
ance alloy "invar strut" pistons which
make for smoother, more efficient mo-
tor performance. Further contribu-
ton toward this end were gained by
raising the compression ratio and by
stepping up the valve lifts. Through
these changes maximum power is de-
veloped.
Other changes in the engine are the
addition of a breathing system to
eliminate the annoyance of engine
fumes; a new two-port exhaust and a
silencing engine enclosure.
The four wheel brakes are of nom
locking design-the product of Chew
rolet laboratories plus the facilities of
General Motors laboratories and prov
ing grounds. Front brakes are two
shoe unenergized Intervals, while the
rear brakes are the nergized external,
self-wrapping type. Front and rear
brakes have been proportioned to pre-
vent side drag or pull. Each brake has
an individual adjustment at the
wheels, while "stops" have been pro-
vided to make the adjustment process
especially easy. Easy initial pedal
application throws the front brakes
into action. Further application trows
front brakes harder into action and
also brings the rear brakes into full
play so that it is possible to slide the
rear wheels on dry pavement by US
ing full pressure, but not the front
wheels.
The effect of this, according to
Chevrolet engineers, is to get uniform

wear on the brake lining.

wear Oh CIlS brake 4lluIIS.
The springs also are of extraordi-
nary interest. Realizing that all I'M
comfortable spring action is the re-
suit of rebound after striking a bump,
Chevrolet engineers set about to in
crease the friction of the springs and
thus check the rebound.
This end was accomplished by
equipping the springs with special
rebound checks. Two checks are on
each spring located helf way between
the center spring shackle and the
spring end. These rebound checks are
inverted bow shaped steel leaves as
sembled under high pressure against
the top of the spring leaf, the ends
pressing against the top of the leaf,
increasing the resistance.
So much has the spring friction
been increased by this new device that
the car is said to ride so percent bet
ter than with old type springs. The
rebound checks also offer greater re-
sistance to bumps.
Greater ease of steering was made
possible by adopting a ball bearing
worm and gear steering mechanism,
including ball bearings in the steering
knuckles, and by increasing the steer
ing ratio from to 9.5 to 1. The four
inch increase in wheelbase contributes
greatly to the riding quality of the car
with less pitching and better road
holding qualities.
The front axle has been enlarged
and strengthened to accommodate the
new brake attachment. A fan shroud
has been added for more effective cool
ing and host of other details COM
bine to make the Chevrolet for 1928
the best performing, most efficient and
dependable mechanical unit ever built
by the company.
Models of these cars may be seen at
the Oakland Garage and the Grants
VILE Garage, Garrett county represen-
tatives of the Chevrolet.
