The question of speed is paramount
IN this faStmOVing age, and in this de-
partmPnt the autOmotive industry has
made material progress. In 1925 the
average top speed of all automobiles was
$50 miles per hour, while in 1881 this
figure was moved up to 800 miles per
hour. UnqueStionably, this mark will be
exceeded when the records OF all 1882
automobiles are tabulated.
Time also has been clipped in the
acceleration of cars. Seven years ago
it required 963 seconds to accelerate
the smaller and loWeSt-priced autOmO-
blleS from 10 to 25 miles per hour.
The 1881 models of these same cars &C
celerated in 613 seconds.
Automobiles of every price group are
today more easily Steered than those Of
seven years ago The greatest gains in
this desirable feature have been made
in medium-priced cars, which now re-
quire an average of 16 pounds pressure
to turn the front wheels when driving
at the rate of 10 miles per hour. as
compared to 29 pounds Of energy re-
quired by the 1925 cars.
Quietness and smoothness are stress
ed today by automobile manufacturers,
and rightly So as improvements have
been made in both of these factors 1t
was in 1928 that definite rule was
developed at the proving ground to
measure noise and vibration, and since
then the records show a steady i'm
provement in eliminating these unde-
Sirable elements.

BETTER FOREIGN
TRADE SOUGHT
Business Recovery Can Be
Aided by Improved Ex-
port Conditions.
BY ROBERT c. GRAHAM,

Vice President Graham-Palge Motors Corp
The American automobile manu-
facturer in search Of favorable trade
prospects abroad for 1882 will not go
unrewarded.
Favorable factors exist, and if
allowed to react unrCStrictedly upon
trade they would quickly bring business
recovery Chief among them IS ihc
bankmg-up OF demand. People have
heSitatcd to buy new cars and have
continued to drive their old ones be-
yOnu the normal limit of their useful
life or have had to junk them and await
better conditions
The 428OOO motor vehicles of American
make sold outside the United States in
1924 should normally have been re-
placed during 1881. AS fact, only
3l5,OOO vehicles have been sold outside
the United States this year. An un-
satisfied demand for 10000 vehicles Is
carried over into 1882, to be added to
the replacement requirement OF $4,000
owners whose cars were exported in
1925 and should ordinarily be replaced
this year.
A survey of fundamental factors
abroad shows a slight Improvement in
confidence and business activity in some
of our potentially larger markets, such
as Argentina. Australia, Brazil and
Mexico If this more healthy condition
we're to be supplemented by a reduction
in existing artificial barriers to trade,
it would undoubtedly be reflected in in
creased demand for American motor
vehicles and other products.
Efforts to make the advantages OF
motor transport available to the masses
abroad are being rendered virtually
useless by the tariff walls rising every
where to prevent. reciprocal trade he
tween countries. = Almost every leading
nation of the world. including the
United States, has adopted a high tariff
policy, and is finding it to have serious
disadvantages.
To the fact that our former Gus
toners abroad can no longer sell their
products to us because OF our almost
prohibitive duty levels, We must at
tribute much of the marked decrease
in their buying, power. from which our
exporters are now suffering.
Furthermore. haraSSed governments
seeking to balance their trade or in
crease their revenue do not hesitate TO
burden our products, especially the
automobile with tariff increases which
in some cases raise the price of motor
vehicles to the point where their general

it must be compact. 1t will not be
practical to build large car when we
come to a time when the demand is
for 100 miles per hour. The car of the
future will have less projected area, the
frontal area will be reduced and the
car will be low and narrow. All of
these factors have been kept in mind
in the Hudson design Of today in so far
as consistent with preSent-day demands.
The importance of streamlining is be-
coming more and more evident as the
speeds go up. 1t must be remembered
that at speeds of 60 miles per hour
the wind resistance increases with the
square of the speed, while at 100 miles
per hour it increases with the cube Of
the speed
Question OF Speed.
The matter of high speed on the
highway is simply matter OF ease OF
driving. People will drive rs miles an
hour if they can do so easily. They
will not drive that fast when it becomes
an effort and strain on the nerves.
OF course, our present highways are
not suitable for speeds over and beyond
what we are using today. One-Way
roads are becoming more and more
necessary.
We are travelling today at speeds
which our grandfathers would have
considered pure lunacy. We do this
safely because the reaction Of our pres
ent generation are far faster than those
OF our grandfathers' day. Our percep-
tions have been speeded up to marked
degree, and we adapt ourselves to our
modern high-speed equipment. This
is very well illustrated by the way in

which young boys and girls learn to
fly airplanes with so little effort.
AS time goes on, and speeds go up,
and wind resistance comes to be more
of a factor, we will see spare tires,
lamps, etc, disappearing from view.
They will have to be hidden within the
contour of the body. 1t is we'll within
the bounds Of possibility that as time
goes on we will come to the rear -engine
car with its complete streamlining.
Such car would not be accepted today
by the public, but it is more than likely
that another 10 years will change our
viewpoint radically. Before the rear
engine can be adopted, however GER
tain mechanical difficulties will have to
be conquered.
Never Stands Still.
Real engineering never stands still.
1t Is progressing and will continue to
progress. The car Of 1882 is far ahead
of any of its predecessors, so far ahead,
in fact, that 1t makes the car Of 1881
appear obsolete. This is so because so
many matters which have been under
consideration by engineers came to a
head this year This is one of the
factors which makes the car of 1892
Of such outstanding interest to the in

New Wheel Effects.

Some striking effects have been
achieved by designers in the new mod
els simply by employing distinctive
types of steel wheels as decorative ad-
juncts. The wheels on automobiles un-
til the last year or SO have never had
the part they deserve to play in the
general design of the car. This year,
however, the new Stainless-steel artil-
lery type wheel is a thing Of beauty
and does much to dress up some of the
new models. In others the wire wheels
and the new type steel disc wheels add
to the grace and rhythm of the motor
car. Engineers and designers say that
from now on steel wheels are destined
to play an increasingly important
part in the design of motor cars and
will be expected to become an integral
part of the automobiles beauty.

were the cars Of 1928, the records show
ing that all automobiles averaged 483
units of noise then as compared to 80
units now. Vibration has been reduced
in the same period from an average Of
9.8 units to 81.
With the increase IN average car
speed, brakes have been developed ac-
cordingly, with the result that they are
twice as efficient today as they were
seven years ago-a wide margin OF
safety.
In addition to this steady advance in
performance, the automobiles of today
are better made throughout, requiring
less service and containing longer life.
We know that automobiles are lasting
longer than heretofore and the cars
Of 1882 contain more potential miles of
travel than their predecessors.
These facts and figures prove the
continuous progress of the automobile
a progress unsurpassed by any industry
in the world.

TOMORROW'S CAR
Automotive Men Must Anticipate

Nothing is more interesting to auto

Tomorrow is. always the important
day for everybody in the administrative
apartments Of a motor car company.
Yesterday has goEiea: LEAKING its'lessons

most of US. Tomorrow is too immi-
nent, too persistent in its march
upon us.
Consequently, every man who has an
executive position in the business is
constantly wondering what sort Of mo-
tor cars and what sort of selling plans
will be in effect next year, three years
from now, a decade from now. TOmor-
