I TRANSMISSION
ISPERFECTED
BY REQ

LANSING, Mich, Sept. 1s.--
A new transmission that will sim.
plifZ the . task of driving an auto.
mol Wle in heavy traffic has been In
yeIfsed and perfected by engineres Of
the REQ Motor Car Company and
will be included In the new 1880 Mas.
ter Flying Cloud, Richard l.. Scott,
president of the REQ announced yes
terday.
The transmission, he declares, is
the result Of several years of expert
mentation and Is one of the most
important accomplishments the au-
tomobile industry has contributed in
recent years toward the slmplication
of driving In heavily congested traf-
fic.
Overcome Obstacles
'The new transmission developed
by REQ has been designed to over.
come one Of the greatest obstacles
caused by traffic conditions, namely
noisy slow second gear driving and
all its discomforts. With this new
mechanism, second gear IL almost
as silent as high, is designed to oper-
ate the car easily at 40 miles an hour
and can be used continuously for
long periods of time comfortably and
noiselessly and with no added strain
either on the motor or the remaining
parts of the car" Scott declares.
Shifting Of Gears
The new transmission permits the
shifting OF gears from high to second
at a speed up to 40 miles an hour,
without clashing. and from second to
high at any speed of the motor. II
virtually does away with the neces'
sity Of using low gear, except In
starting the car on steep up grades
Mr.. Scott announces, also that
owners OF the present REQ Master
Flying Clouds may have the new
transmission installed at small cost
within the next month or two, wher
it is in sufficient production. ThiI
is in line with Reo's policy of en-
! couraging owners to equip their carr
with new improvements without sac
rificing the other long life features
OF their machines.

of an exceptionally steep grade and
say: II made it in high"
There Is no city in America
which offers greater opportunity
for cars and gasoline to prove their
worth than Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh
hills are used by automobile manu-
facturers as a proving ground for
their cars and there are some hills
there that the average motorist
steers clear of whenever possible.
Ralph Hepburn, a veteran auto
mobile driver, recently chose eight
of the steepest of Pittsburgh's trou-
blemakers in order to make a test.
He used Studebaker eight road
ster which had already been driven
63,522 miles, $4,000 miles of which
were done at better than mile-a-
minute speed at the famous tests
at the Atlantic City Speedway.
The car was powered by AFoco gas
purchased at an American Oil Com
pany station in Pittsburgh.
The first grade chosen was Wald-
ridge Street Hill, a grade Of 20 to
25 per cent. To the motorist this
hill looks almost straight ug. at
Hepburn made the top in high
gear at 80. Center Avenue, with a
81 per cent grade, was topped at
80 with two passengers. And Ri
alto Street hill, with its sharp
and almost unbelievable q per
cent grade, was climbed with IL
passengers cIlnging to the cara
