antiquated plan of securing maximum
economy at low speeds, such as 20
miles an hour, which are practically
passe.
Production of the new WHY'S Six
base been underway for the past five
weeks and the company's nationwide
dealer organization is now supplied
with models to demonstrate their
high standard Of speed and power
performance.
1890 Willys-Knight Line
Two complete lines of Knight en-
gined skies round out the company's
presentation in the Willys-Knight di-
vision. These lines comprise the 1880
Willys-Knight Great Six, which has
established a conspicuous position for
I distinctive style, beauty, comfort and
performance in the quality car field,
and the Willys-Knight COB" which
has proved so popular in the lower
priced knight field.
The line will include a five passen-
| ger sedan, five passenger coupe, road
ster and coupe. Each model is not
able for its striking body design and
ultra modern style development which
permits the effective color treatment
employed. The interiors are marked
J by comfort, luxery and smart APP
pointments, with upholstery and
hardware in perfect harmony.
While the body lines and the out
standing style development of the
new Willys-Knight Great Six show
no material change, the power devel-
opment of its improved six cylinder
sleeve-valve engine has been increas-
ed to 81 horsepower, the most power
full engine eve produced by the Will
ys-Overland Company. This results
in q higher road speed than obtain
able heretofore.
Has Powerful Engine
With a bore of 3 3-8 inches and a
stroke of A "a inches, this new plant
develops its maximum horsepower at
! 5000 R. P. M. The engine torque is
191 fl. pounds at 1000 R. P. M. The
engine having a displacement of 255
cubic inches develops .341 horsepower
per cubic inch and a torque of 1888
per cubic inch.
WHY'S Overland engineers declare
that this is the highest ratio of torque
and horsepower development in any
engine of comparable size Of which
they have a record.
The Why's -Knight Great Six is
characterized by careful attention to
every detail to provide driving con-
venience, comfort and smooth riding
qualities under all conditions.
The mechanical features include be-
sides the perfected sleave-valve en-
CINE, the highly successful Ginger
Tip Control, the three spoke steer
ing wheel which was the first intro
duced in America by Willys-Over-
land; one-shot lubricating system;
cam and lever steering gear; manual
heat control; automatic radiator
shutters; all internal expanding four
wheel brakes; adjustable front seat
and steering post; emergency brake
at the extreme left; double drop
frame; long flexible springs; and a
heavy seven-bearing crankshaft.
Whippet Four
Complete coverage is afforded in
every price range through a contin-
uation of the low priced Whippet
four-cylinder models. The universal
acceptance of this model because Of
its low price, lines of beauty, roomy
interiors, speed, power and economy
has made it undesirable to change any
details. Willys-Overland's 1880 plans
call for a steady production of the
Whippet Four in line with the de-
mand for the buying public.

Meets Demand of Public
Never before in automobile history
has any car manufacturer met the
public demand for speed and power
in the low priced six class in such
dramatic fachion.
In addition the WHY'S Six incorpor-
ates every element of safety and
utmost riding comfort at every speed
range. The striking new models,
, which include a standard Sedan, De-
Luxe Sedan, Coupe, Roadster and
Coach, are characterize by lines of
distinctive beauty with rich color
combinations and interior upholstery
comparable with cars selling at high
er prices
Not content with a performance Of
72 miles an hour in high speed, the
WHY'S Overland engineers have de-
velped an engine that flashes away
from traffic jams at AZ miles an hour
in second gear. Such a performance
in this price field is another striking
example of the company's determine
ton to establish the new Willys-Six
in an individual classification.
The engineers have gone even fur
Their than providing a car of great
speed and power with distinctive lines
of beauty-they have perfected a
car that is certain to win acclaim be-
cause of its remarkable easy riding
qualities. Double acting hydraulic
shock eliminators give a soft cushion
effect over every kind of roadway
and assures cmfortable riding under
all conditions.
Tribute to Former Chief
With this new car representing the
greatest mechanical achievement in
WHY'S Overland's history, it is a fit
ting tribute that it should be named
after John N. WHY'S, who for more
than % years as President, directed
the company's d~estinies until he re-
signed in favor of L. A. Miller a few
months ago and became Chairman of
the Board.
More than a year in the courses OF
development, the Willys-Six has been
perfected after the most exhaustive
tests ever made with a product OF
WHY'S Overland. These test include
thousands of miles over all types OF
highways in every section of the
country and power tests on the steer
mountains of Pennsylvania, Tennes.
see and West Virginia. Throughout
all the tests, accurate records of per.
formances were kept by the engin.

EFFICIENCY RECORD
! NEAR TO PERFECTION
Eastern Air Transport to Gulf and
Atlantic Coast Points Regis
tiers 1919 Per Cent.

Flying all but 70 miles of 109,3 45
miles scheduled, Eastern Air Transport
made an almost perfect efficiency
record during the past month on the
New York Atlanta contract airmail line
passing through the National Capital
according to reports received here. The
efficiency record for the month was
1898 per cent, it was reported.
On the companys entire mail run,
extending to Florida cities on the Gulf
and Atlantic coasts, the mail planes
flew total of 1884 miles of the
158,679 miles scheduled for the month,
or an efficiency record of 1919 per cent
for the month over the whole system.
The record on the local line was bet
ter than the three-year average for the
entire postal airmail network, which in
cluded Winter flying, however. The
Post Office Department records show
that over a period of three years the
countrys airmail system has operated
with an efficiency record of 90 per cent.
During the fiscal year which ended
this Summer a total of 16228.45 miles
were scheduled by the airmail carriers.
and of this a total of 1899 400 miles
were actually flown, bringing the eff
cheney rating to "a per cent.
These records are attributed to the
fact that the airmail carriers choose
their pilots carefully and maintain their
planes under strict system of inspec-
ton and repair.

The Nays amphibian hospital plane
stationed at the Naval Air Station,

sick persons living in the isolated
coastal regions of Virginia and North
Carolina, according to reports to the
Navy Department
Despite a 30-mile- per-hour wind, the

teras to transport a dangerously sick
boy to Norfolk for hospital treatment.
The probability of using an amphib-
ian for this type of work was demon
strated on this flight, it was reported.
There is no landing field near Cape
HatteraS, so water landing was made.
On the return the high winds made the
water so rough ground landing had
TO be made on the station field.
Seven emergency flights have been
made during the past 40 days to the in
accessible Cape Hatteras area by the
hospital plane. Early this month two

The modern airplane engines Is far
more efficient than the best automobile

by airplane engine experts Of the Boz
ing system contrasting the performance
of the air-cooled radial engines used In
air transport work with that of one of
the well known automobile engines.
The automobile engine is that used
in one Of the higher priced cars. It

lions per minute and weighs 700 pounds,
or is pounds per horsepower.
The Hornet airplane engine used for
comparison develops 52j-horsepower at
1900 revolutions and produces / horse
power for every one and quarter
pounds of weight.
The automobile engine operates on an
average of 25 to SIS per cent of capacity,
while the engine of plane operates rs
to 100 per cent capacity.
The Boeing system has Hornet en-
gineS which are 1900 hours old and
which are still running smoothly. That
means they have done a minimum Of
80 900 miles An average automobile
engine which does $4,000 miles at 30
per cent throttle has outlived its major
usefulness. 1t will still run, but not up
to par, and yet the airpane engines Of
today have done approximately 100000
miles at almost full throttle and still
operate efficiently.

u. S. BASES LOCATED
FOR PLANE TESTS
Permanent Steps Taken in
DeCentraIizing inspection
Facilities.
Another important step is being taken

Another important step is being taken
partment of Commerce in its program
of decentralizing inspection and test
facilities so as to keep pace with the
growth Of the aviation industry. This
involves the establishment of engineer
ing test bases in various parts of the
country so that every aircraft manu-
featuring plant will be within at least
two hours flying time of one of the
bases.
AT these bases, four of which now
are being established, with others to
follow, Department of Commerce in
SpectorS will be permanently stationed
to handle the engineering inspection
and flight testing of civil aircraft
as to airworthiness and eligibility for
Federal license.
Today there are no established sta
tions where test work of this nature
inspectors to go from one aircraft fac
tory to another as the demand arises.
Greater Number of Tests.
Under the new program, it is be-
lieved, a greater number of tests can be
conducted in a given period due to the
saving of travel time on the part of the
ing. Two or more engineering inspec-
tors will be assigned to each base and
this will result in elimination of argu-
ments which sometimes arise when
questions regarding the flight charac-
teristics of an airplane are left to the
opinion of an individual inspector, it
is believed.
Another advantage of the new plan,
it was pointed out, is that the manu-
facturer of airplanes which must be
submitted for flight testing will know
definitely where the engineering in
Spectors may be reached and will be
able to arrange in advance for q def
mite date for test.
The new arrangement, according to
the Department of Commerce, not only
will expedite the flight testing of air
craft for approved type certificates but
also will make it possible to conduct
such tests in a more efficient manner
than now is possible.
The four initial engineering test
bases now being established are to be
ready for operation about October / at
Roosevelt Field, Long Island; Wayne
County Airport, Wayne, Mich. Fairfax
Airport. Kansas City, Kans., and Munic-
ipal Airport, Los Angeles. At each of
these stations there Nwill be scales for
weighing the aircraft submitted for
flight test, ballast for loading the planes
to determine load flight characteristics,
and instruments for checking qualita-
tive flight performance.
Other Stations Planned.
Other stations have been planned for
Oakland, Calf: Wichita, Kans.; st.
Louis and Cleveland. They will be
equipped as the necessity arises and
funds become available. Until they are
ready aircraft to be tested at these
points will be tested by inspectors from
the nearest existing station.
The first important step in the de-
centralizing program was the establish
ment of field facilities for the testing
of aircraft engines for approved type
certificates. The plan, according to
officials of the aeronautics branch.
adapts itself to further expansion and
the decentralization of other phases of
test inspection as developments may
warrant.

plane.
Navigation during the flight was ac-
complished almost entirely by means
of radio compass, bearings being
taken on numerous broadcast stations
all of which Comdr Duncan traced
down and found to be absolutely ac-
curate.
During one portion of the flight from
Hartford, Conn, to Bound Brook, N.
j., on the return trip, radio station
WIZ was used in taking bearings for
navigational purposes. Visibility was
poor, the course being directly across
Manhattan Island, where considerable
smoke and haze were encountered and
the value of the radio compass was we'll

daily, speeding their cargo throughout
the Nation, feeding into lines that have
spread into Pan-America and Canada,
and to steamships that find planes
waiting for them in foreign ports.
