PACKARD

Packard introduces two new cars,
light eight and a tWin-SiX, and also
continues presentation of its standard
and de luxe eights. The same company
which brought out the first 12-cylln-
Ger engine back in 1915 now comes out
with vastly improved tWin-siX as the
leader Of the Packard line. A new type
of Synchro-mesh transmission, in which
the three forward speeds are said to be
silent, marks all four cars. The cars
also have ride control, first introduced
by Packard. and finger control free
wheeling. The engine of the tWln-siX,
whose cylinders are set at an angle OF
81 degrees, is said to turn up $50 horse
power: that of the light eight is SAID
to develop 10 horsepower; that Of the
standard eight more than 1l0 horse
power and of the de luxe eight 135
horsepower.
The tWin-SiX is similar in appearance
10 the de luxe eight, with a slightly
different radiator. An unusual radiator
design marks the light eight, with
radiator narrowing down to a curve
forward at the bottom and merging
with the front fender. A novel rear
axle design is said to reduce car height
and give greater road clearance. Shat
terproof glass is used throughout and
all cars are insulated against heat, cold
and noise. Springs are metal-covered
and permanently fabricated

STUDEBAKER

Three eightS and a six on three diff
ferent WheelbaSeS, mark the 1882 Stude-
baker line. The President eight comes
in a WheelbaSe of 1876 inches, the Com
mander eight at 125 inches and the
Dictator eight and Studebaker six in
1l7-inch base. There are % models
altogether in all body styles. Stude-
baker, which introduced free wheeling,
carries forward this improvement which
now operates in all forward speeds and
uses the clutch only in starting and
stopping. The car also has automatic
starting, in which a turn of the igni-
ton switch crankS the motor.
President and Commander lines have
automatic ride control with thermo-
statically controlled shock absorberS
which adjust themselves for any con-
dition of road surface and also are
equipped with swing Shackle to pre-
vent transfer of road shocks to the
steering wheel. The cars have been
redesigned in appearance, with body
lines sweeping back in an "air curve
Streamline effect and the one-plece
tenders are carried back in a long sweep
while the new radiator has more
wedge e-shaped angle.
The President has 122 horsepower,
the Commander has 101, the Dictator
has 85 and the Studebaker Six has
80 The engines are rubber cushioned,
while automatic spark control is used.
Insulation against noise is general
throughout the line. while metal spring
covers are also standard. Windshields
and windows of all models have nom
shattering glass.

NASH

Nash has introduced three 8-cylinder
Anes and one 6-Cylinder car, which 1t
continues for 1882 The six comes in
u"e body styles, while the eights come
n all the popular body lines.
The big Nash eight continues the
double ignition system which has been
a feature of the line for several years,
has V-type radiator, synchro-Safe shift
Transmission and optional free wheeling
at an added price. Nash has made
feature of complete Soundprootlng OF
body and chassis in all models.
The six turns up IS horsepower at
5000 revolutions, has optional free
wheeling at extra cost, parking lamps
en- front Tenders, rubber insulated
shackles and synchro-safety shift trans
mission. The series $40 eight develops
78 horsepower at $500 revolutions has
mechanical brakes, fuel pump and the
same transmission and optional free
wheeling. The 900 eight has automatic
chassis fabrication, parking lamps on
front tenders electric clock in the IN
strument panel. silent second transmits
sion and an engine which develops ll5
horsepower at $500 revolutions. All
the Nash engines are built by Nash.

Willys-Overland introduces a new
line of six and eight-cylinder cars,
taking the place of the former WHY'S.
wheeling, safety shatter-proof
glass, visorless front, noise insulation,
steel running-boardS and adjustable
steering column mark the new cars.
Externally the cars are lower and
longer with smaller wheels and larger
tires and V-shaped radiator, which IS
filled from under the hood.
The six engine is said to develop SIS
horsepower and 70 miles an hour. The
car has 113-inCh wheelbase, and models
include five-paSsenger sedan and coach,
four-passenger coupe and roadster and
tWo-passenger coupe and roadster. The
eight comes in all body styles with only
minor changes. All the functions of
starting the motor, sounding the horn
and operating the light are continued
in "finger-tip control" used last year
Brakes have been enlarged and pedal
pressure has been reduced by 80
per cent.

PONTIAC

Pontiac brings to the show two new
lines of skies and a Weight, the latter
replacing the Oakland eight, COM
panion car of Pontiac in past years
In the new Pontiacs are incorporated
ride control and Synchro-meSh trans
mission, with free wheeling and quiet
second gear. The cars come in all
popular body models. The engines are
said to turn up IS and Sc horsepower,
respectively. The chassis of the cars
are rubber cushioned at At points. The
driver may shift to any forward speed
without using the clutch pedal in the
new Pontiac transmission, for lifting Of
the foot from the accelerator auto
matiCally causes the free wheeling
clutch to function. Another feature OF
"eCOnomiZer," which meters the gaSo-
line admitted to the carburetor from
the fuel tank, giving extra fuel only
after a speed of SO miles is reached
Full-preSSure fabrication to all moving
parts is used and motor heat is con-
trolled by an automatic thermoStat.
Bodies are designed by Fisher and have
smooth contours and rakiSh lines. A
sharply V-Shaped radiator front aids
in improvement in appearance, which
is further accentuated by elimination
of the head-lamp tie bar. Indicator
lamps are on the tenders and louvre
doors are used in place Of narrow
ports. Standard equipment includes
twin trumpet horns and twin COM
bination tail and stop lights.

PIERCE ARROW

Pierce Arrow introduces a new l2-
cylinder car in two groups and re-
designed eight. The tWelveS, l40 and
$50 horsepower, come in II body styles,
while the eight is in y body types.
The cars have improved free wheeling,
operating in all forward speeds, and
transmission has silent Synchro-mesh
gear shift. Ride control and an auto
matte starting system also are featured.
Radiators are deep and slender, of "
type design, while the external lines,
although retaining certain traditional
Pierce Arrow features, are new, with
flowing and merging lines and rounded
contours.
Extreme body rigidity is said to be
promoted by the box girder chassis
frame. Engines of the tWelves have
high compression ratios and do not
require anti-knock fuels. Cylinders are
cast in two blocks.
Pierce-ArroW has taken special care
to insuate against noise, heat and
cold and vibration. The body is inSu-
lated from the frame by cork-covered
mountingS, while door and body panels
are felt lined and in the chassis pro-
visions have been made for greater
quiet. Engines are mounted in rubber.
spring ShackleS are ball-bearing and
double muffier is used.

small portion of the total escaped tax
alton in that year. This is assuming
that 80 per cent Of all gasoline con-
Sumed is used in motor vehicles.
About 95 per cent OF the gasoline tax
money Is used on State and country
roads. for the servicing of State and
country bond issues, or for city streets.
Gasoline taxes, combined with the
registration taxes, were pledged in 1880
to retire "a per cent Of the State high
way bonds issued.
Comparing gasoline tax collections
for the first six months of 1880 and
1881 respectively, there is to be noted
an increase from s6,000,000 to 100000
600 In the amount used on city streets.
For miscellaneous purposes, ranging
from school funds to oyster propaga-
ton, the increase was from $1,000 900
to $4,000 900.
In Florida the one cent increase Is
all to be turned over to The general
fund. In many other States there was
active agitation in the 1881 Legislatures
not only to increase the tax, but to use
it for general revenue purposes.
Exemptions came in with their share
Of trouble. One State reported refunds
amounting to 40 per cent Of their total
collections while the State of Montana
obtained by virtue OF her five cent rate.
The average tax collection per vehicle
amounted in 1880 to $3.50 per yehicls
on the basis OF $50 gallons ct an ays-
age rate of 3.35 cents. The "pajnLl---
process" apparently caused the user 10
forget that he was taken for a sum
$500 in excess OF his registration tax
which was paid in one lump.
Faced by Dangers.
The dangers facing gasoline tax
administration are many and serious.
The rates have already been increased
so high in some instances that they
actually return little more than lower
rates. Use of the vehicle is curtailed.
Evasion, directly, or through the ex-
emption clauses is encouraged.
Diversion is constant menace.
The dependence OF State and local
highway programs upon gasoline tax
revenues is so great that every possible
precaution should be taken to earmark
these revenues for road use Their
application to other purposes cannot be
justified considering the peculiarly
special nature of the tax levy.

OLDSMOBILE

OldSmobile brings to the show an i'm
proved six and new straight eight.
Both lines are mounted on wheelbaSe
of 1862 inches and have such new de-
velopmentS as free wheeling, synchro-
mesh transmission, silent second gear
and ride control of shock abSorberS.
Both engines have new decarbon-
izer unit, while another feature is an
automatic choke which gives the
proper mixture at all times and pre-
vents carburetor flooding. Like the 1881
Oldsmobile, an arrangement is contin--
ued by which the throttle is advanced
to a fast "idling speed when the
starter pedal is depressed.
The engines have high-compresSion
cylinder head, automatic heat control,
oil temperature regulator, down. draft
carburetion and rubber mounting. The
eight cylinder power plant employs dual
carburetion and manifolding. The
eight cylinder power plant develops 81
horsepower, while that of the six turns
up "A horsepower. The price difference
between the two lines is 500. Bodies
are streamlined, the hood is Of new de-
sign and a single-bar bumper Is used.

ROCKNE

Rockne, first introduced in December
by Rockne Motors, a subsidiary OF
Studebaker is presented in two lines,
a "65" and a "75." All models come
with free wheeling, synchronized shift
ing and an automatic starter finger
tip steering, silent carburetion, self
adjusting spring shackles and hydraulic
shock absorbers. Both lines are built
in all popular body styles. The regular
models have five wire wheels with large
chromium hub caps, while the de luxe
lines have six wire wheels with two of
them mounted in fender wells. Bodies
are streamlined, with the gas tank, rear
springs and rear axle concealed by air
foil aprons. Convertible models are
offered using a new type brace to avoid
rattleS. The smaller models of 1l0-lnch
wheelbaSe develop 66 horsepower and
so miles an hour. The ITS" line is
mounted on wheelbaSe Of ia inches
with a 72-horsepower motor. Both six
cylinder engines are rubber mounted
at four points. Bodies are well in
sulated and radiators are lacquered.
Instruments are of aviation type.

trict Of Columbia are still satisfied with
two cents, Missouri may soon be the
only State IN the latter classification,
bound by constitutional amendment not
10 raise the two cent rate before 1888.
Other legislatures have eased their
conSciences by making promises Of
future reductions. Oklahoma'S five cent
rate reverted to four cents on Decsrber
3lst of last year; Arizona intends to
maintain a five cent rate until January
!, 1888. when 1t reverts to four cents.
Massachusetts,, now collecting a three
cent tax will act on referendum in
September, 1882, which calls for five
cent tax. Whatever the rate after that
date, 1t is to run until April 30, 1888,
and then drop back to two cents. Mon
tana looks ahead ten years to March
81, 194l, when the five cent tax is to
be reduced to three cents.
Evasions Localized.
Several Midwestern States expert
enced serious attempts at evasion Of
the State tax of "bootlegging" of blended
mixtures of gasoline, kerosene and
cheap distillates, and by actual fraudu-
lent practices in consignment. Other
States found some evasion Of the tax
at their borders The problem seems to
be a child of 1881, perhaps abetted by
the depression. The rate Of tax does
not appear to be as important factor
as lax administration, concentrated
demand and ease of sale.

Marmon also introduces a new straight
eight of l25 horsepower. The new
eight has automatic clutch, free wheel
ing, ride regulator and Synchro-Shlft
transmission. 1t will be available in
six regular and de luxe body styles on
wheelbase OF 125 inches.
OF low and wide construction, the
new eights have slanting V-shaped
radiators, sloping WlndShlelds, long,
high hoods and sweeping full crown
tenders. Instruments have been placed
in a group at the left side OF the panel.
The engine has an unusually high ratio
of power to weight, is Of L-head design
and is cushioned in rubber.

VALUE is KEYNOTE
OF THE 1882 AUTO
Economic Readjustment Unparal-
leled Since Dawn of Motoring
Era, Says W. A. Fisher.
BY w. A. FISHER,
President Fisher Body Corporation.

Value is the thing this year.
We shall doubtless hear the verdict
on the Automobile Show expressed in
various ways. but its general drift is
pretty likely to boil down to this. Value
certainly is the keynote Of the entire
display.
At the bottom of it all, of course, is an
economic readjuStment unparalleled
since the dawn of the automotive era
an adjustment which has inspired more
comment, expert and otherwise than
any other dozen topics of the day-but
an adjustment, nevertheless, from which
the public is finally going to get
break"
Probably there has never been a time
when value meant so much-when
manufacturers, not only of automobiles,
but Of every other commodity, were 60
ing quite so far in their efforts to raise
quality and lower price. They have had
to do it, of course. Persons forced to
readjust their spending to keep within
reduced incomes are buying only for
their needs, and applying their measures
Of value more strictly than ever before.
And even those less serious affected are
regarding the dictates of good taste,
avoiding the display of wealth which
expresses itself in "sWank," and en-
ploying some of their plenty, at least,
toward relief work of some sort.
1t was into greatly changed setting
that the automotive industry had to
plan the introduction of its offering for
1882. Always in close contact with the
economic pulse of the country, motor
car manufacturers, months ago. fell
into step with the times. Several of the
new lines, rejecting these builders
convictions on the appropriate thing
for these times, have now been out for
some weeks

Gasoline taxation came In for a lot
OF attention during 1881, from legisla-
tors, administrators, and lastly from
users.
Consumption increased nearly per-
cent to a new peak total.
Rates and collections both advanced
Evasions and exemptions grew large
enough to be troublesome.
The menace Of growing diversion was
foreshadowed.
The 1881 total collection Of gasoline
taxes is expected to be in neighbor-
hood Of 1925 900 900, passing the half
billion mark for the first time, and ex-
ceeding by almost $20o,o00,0o0 the re-
ceipts from license fees.
Last year was the third in which
gasoline taxes have been greater than
the registration receipts, equalling in
1880 approximately 80 per cent of all
highway expenditures.
Higher Rates General.
Every State Legislature meeting in
1881 had before it the question of gas
oline taxation. Many of the rates were
advanced, some for highways, some for
general treasury use.
Ten States bespoke an increase Of
one cent per gallon, two States obtained
two cents more; while two States tackled
on half a cent additional.
Two States-Florida and Tennessee
raised the total tax TO seven cents,
which is equal to the cost Of gasoline
in many cities.
Four States now boast six cent
rate; one a S q cent rate; ten are in
the nickel class; Is collect four cents
per gallon, eleven take three cents,
while the remaining four and the Dis

employing aero-dynamic lines through
front, roof and rear section of its cars.
Rear springs, gas tank and other
chassis elements. together with crevices
where dust and dirt might collect, are
all covered in the new REQ.
On the mechanical side the cars are
marked by an automatic clutch, which
gives a form Of free wheeling, available
on the Royale lines, models 81, 35 and
50, and on the Flying Cloud model 25.
Other features include cam-and-lever
steering with anti-backlash, silent sec
ond transmission and presSure-lubricat-
ed crankShafts. Front springs are

SKYSCRAPER IDEAS

The box-girder type Of structural
steel work, which has been responsible
for ability to erect buildings Of 100
stories and more, Is being adopted
rapidly by automobile manufacturers
to stiffen the new 1892 bodies and
chassis. Engineers who work In struc
tural steel it is pointed out, know that
the box section is the strongest and
most rigid possible to use, even thin
piece of steel bent into a box form
being able to support many times the
load it could carry If it were formed
in any other way.

|GRADUAL UPWARD
TREND PREDICTED
Opinion Supported by Many
Factors, Automotive
Leader Says.
BY BYRON c. FOY,

President De Soto Motor Corporation.
Although I realize the wisdom Of re-
framing from predictions, there are
several definite aspects of the automo-
bile business today that SO logically
point toward an upturn that feel l
am conservative in anticipating a grad
ual but firm movement in the direction
of better business.
Many factors support this opinion.
Deferred Buying.
The volume Of deferred buying in the
last two years, the reduction OF the
number of cars on the road and the
depreciation of all Of these as a result
of wear and tear and the absolute ne
ceSSity of the automobile in the pres
ent scheme of things are some OF the
factors that cannot be denied in ap-
praising the future of this business.
And again, viewing the future in a
more positive sense, We must respect
the fact that never in the history OF
this business, already famous for the
high dollar value Of its product, has
the motoring public been offered the
equal Of the value presented in the 1882
automobile.
At the same time conf1dence-that
primary requisite for good buSineSS-iS
slowly but surely being restored. Econ
Cmists agree that the defiation of 1880
end 1881 has adequately balanced the
preceding imitation. Waste in industry
and laxity in management have been
corrected. We are again treading on a

solid foundation, greeted on every side
by amazing values.
In light of this situation and in view
of the compelling attractiveness Of the
new cars, I fail to see how the millions
that will attend automobile shows this
Winter can resist the values offered in
the 1882 automobile. I speak for my
company and I believe I may speak for
a good many others when l say that in
our 1882 cars we have gone the limit.
II it has ever been the practice III the
past to withhold development or an
Improvement until more opportune
time" 1t certainly is not the case this
year.
Has Extended Itself.
The automobile industry has extended
itself to build into its 1892 offerings
every practical development on the ho-
rizon and it has applied itself equally
to the problem Of keeping prices down
to the bare minimum.
If ever there was a buyers market in
the field of individual transportation, 1t
is this year, and although I feel that
this industry will continue to set the
pace for all others In the dollar value
of its product, frankly 1 cannot envi-
sion an occasion in the future when
the automobile buyer will get more for
his money than he does today.
I believe that the motoring public
will take advantage of the opportunity,
partially because they will recognize
that it will be good business to grasp
the opportunity to obtain the biggest
dollars worth Of automobile ever Of
fered.
