have been proven throughout
months of testing on the General
Motors proving ground.
Using four-door sedan models of
each series, 'Ich a carrying a
load Of $50 pounds, acceleration
tests showed the following results
The 118" and the 124" wheelbase
models, series 40 and so, accelerated
from 5 to Is miles per hour in "a
seconds; the series so model in a.
seconds. Testing from 10 to Is
miles per hour the 40 and so each
showed 81 seconds with the series
so car closely following at 6.3 sec
onds.
In hill climbing ability all models
proved approximately equal in pow
er. The same models carrying the
same 450-pound loads were used in
this tests on a 1,400 foot hill pres
enting an 11.6 per cent grade. The
series 40 and so cars reached the
peak of the hill at a speed of 26
miles per hour or better from a
five miles per hour start, closely
followed by the series go a travel
ing at Is miles per hour or better.
There is a marked increase in
fuel economy in the series 40 mod
els due to a better balance between
the engine power and car weight
plus improved carburetion. Despite
the increased size and horsepower
Of the engine in the two larger Sc
rieS, there is no increase in fuel
consumption.
The carburetion system in the
new Buick embodieS two major i'm
provementS-the gasoline pump has
been redesigned and improved, and
the low speed carburetor adjust
ment has been eliminated. Each
carburetor is accurately Celebrated
to give the best all-around results.
Special celebration for high alti-
tudes is furnished where required.
The thermoStat controlling the
shutters has been built into the
radiator; this improved design elm
mates noise and sticking. The ra-
diator battles in the top of the tank
have been improved to prevent loss

Spring Suspension
One of the outstanding features
on the new Buick is the semielliptic
spring suspension with double act

These long springs together with
the shock absorbers give the al a

WASHINGTON. July 25.-lP)-A
century ago August 8, the first 10
connective operated in the western
hemisphere, the famous "Stour-
bridge Lion" chartered over hem
lock rails protected by strip iron.
AS the hundred-year anniversary
passes in transportation history, the
country sees a new epoch begin
with the iron horse teamed with
aircraft as an auxiliary.
Where today the continent is
spanned in the slendc-' space of 48
hours, the little engine chugged
along at four miles an hour.
The epochal trip -as made from
Honesdale, Pa, with Horatio Al
len, engineer of the Delaware and
Hudson canal company, at the
throttle.
The engine, with a gigantic lions
head painted on the front, coursed
three miles into woods towards Car
bondale, Pa, part of the time over
a wooden ~trestle, and WaS reversed
for the return journey.
The test run revealed that the
tracks were too weak to support
the seven-ton Il >omotive. Another
run was made September 8, 1929,
after which the Lion" vas discard
ed.
1t had been originally intended
that the engine would haul trains
of coal from The company'S mines
in Carbonate, Pa, to the western
terminus Of a canal, a distance Of
Is miles. The anal, completed in
1926, extended 108 miles from
Honesdale to 1ondout, N. Y, on
the Hudson river, thu providing
a water route from New York City
to the valuable anthr, cite fields Of
northeastern Pennsylvania.
The locomotive was designed and
built by Foster. Rastrick AMI COM
pany of Stourbrid-e, England, and
delivered in New York at a cost Of
$2,914I90.

}EELABORATE
Boxing Process For Ship
N ping Cars Is Fine
y~ System

KENOSHA, Wis, July 27.-When
the greatest of all transportation
mediumS-the automobile - itself
requires transportation, the process
used in protecting cars for ship
ment is one of the most interest
ing and elaborate systems develop
ed by the motor industry.
More than one and one-half mil
lion feet of lumber r used each
month in the huge overseas ship
ping building in KenoSha where the
Nash Motors Company has evolved
one of the most efficient and pains
taking systems Of protecting cars
for export known in modern ship
ping. Some sixty trained men send
the cars along the progressive as
sembly which boxes them so per-
pectly that neither rough handling
at seaboard, open roadstead unload
ing, nor extraordinary conditions
sometimes encountered overseas can
injure them in any way.
At the start of the 160-foot box
ing assembly line the cars for eX-
port are washed and sprayed with
a n~on-corrosive mixture to protect
metal parts. Then, after removing
the wheels, the car is lifted by eiec-
trio hoist to the heavily reinforced
floor of the specially prepared eX-
port box, which rests on the rollers
of boxing production line. 1t is
soiidly bolted and clamped to the
floor, it's interior covered, and a
second oil bath administered. The
sturdy frame work of the Nash eX-
port box, replete with three-way
joints, is then applied to prevent
any side sway, and snug sides and
ends are nailed to the wood frame.
The heavy top is then nailed on
and a cap of waterproof paper is
added for further protection against
the elements. Two screened vents
are cut in each end of the ooX to
afford air circulation, and the Nash
trademark, together with the cars
destination, is stenciled. The boxed
car Is then lifted By an overhead
crane and firmly anchored or a
freight car, ready for the Journey
to Seaboard.
This boxing process has been de-
veloped exclusively by Nash and ap-
proved by insurance experts. 1t
combines the best methods in ship
ping experience. When the boxing
is complete, the car Is ready for
practically any travelling experience.
