Great American Value For 1892

by the symmetrical grouping Of the
several new instruments added this
year because Of added mechanical
features. The free-wheeling control
button IS located just to the right Of
the steering column.
All closed models have . "finger
touch" front seat adjustment, where
by. simply by touching lever to the
left Of the seat, the seat may be
quickly rolled to the most comfortable
position back Of the wheel and
clamped there. The adjustment may
be made while the seat Is occupied.
The headlamp DINNER switch, To-
Gated on the left Of the toe board, is
improved for better operation.
For the drivers convenience, the
left front window has an equalizer,
which reduces the effort necessary to
raise or lower the window.
The open phaeton and roadsters
have a decided custom made appear
ance with chromium plated mould
ings along the front edges Of the
top.
The roadster top folds into a space
IN the body just back of the seat. A
snap-on cover conceals the folded
top and the arrangement eliminates
the usual boot, giving the car q much
racier appearance and affording
greater comfort to rumble seat pas
sengers.
The frame has an additional cross
member and is redesigned in several
points for greater efficiency and safe
ty. A new type of engine suspension
known as diamond" mounting, be-
cause the points where the power
plant is secured to the frame corre-
spond to the corners Of q diamond, is
used. At the suspension points rub
Der insulation in stamped containers
prevent metal to metal contact. This
insulation effectively prevents road
shocks from reaching the engine,
dampens out vibration which other
wise might be communicated to the
passengers, and at the same time
provides stable anchorage for the
power plant.
Motor Is Smoother
The 60-horsepower, overhead valve.
six-cylinder engine is smoother, quiet
err and more powerful. The engine
block is stiffened and strengthened by
additional ribs and more metal at
points of stress. Main crankGhaft
bearings are thinner, making possible
an increase in diameter of the crank
shaft journals. fabrication to the
crankshaft and camshaft bearings,
and the valve stem Is positive pres
sure this year. Improvements in tim
ing valve opening and compression
ratio contribute materially to the 20
per cent increase in power and to
quicker acceleration.
In addition to the new down draft
carburetor, heat control valve has
been added to the exhaust manifold
to concentrate the hot exhaust gases
on the intake manifold for easy start
ing and quick warming up Of the en-
CINE at low temperatures.
An air dome has been added to the
fuel pump, which assures constant
feeding of fuel to the carburetor un-
der all operating conditions and is
especially effective for high speed
driving or at low engine tempera-
lures.
Cooling is improved, in addition to
the. larger radiator area, by increas-
ing the amount of water at the ex-
haust ports of the engine, and by a
new four blade fan so designed that
one pair of blades sets up vibrations
of different frequency from the other
pair. one canceling out the other
thus effecting unusually quiet oper-
alton.
