Ell. Shaver The sloping,
V-front radiator
meets the reached hood line which
is carried forward in rolled edge
to the radiator grille.
Movable ventilator doors with
ridge backs are arranged horizontal
ly along the sides of the hood, while
additional enclosing accent the
skirts of front and rear tenders,
and the massive running boards.
Rear Shield Optional
The skirted sweep Of tenders is
supplemented by optional, embossed
rear wheel shield, enclosing hub and
wheel in airplane fashion, prevent
ing air pressure from building up
beneath the fender, the shields be-
ing removable for tire changing.
Trunks Of various models are mold
ed and built-in to blend with the
design.
Re-styling of Nash interiors in
cludes an advanced air conditioning
system, draftless, built-in ventila-
ton which starts with large
screened cowl ventilator in front
and includes air wings on front
doors, adjustable to weather condi-
tons; rear quarter windows in Sc
dams that pivot to form suction
vent; a patented, horizontal air vent
or notch designed into the front
windows.
When, in bad weather, windows
are closed except for this vent, the
vacuum created by the wind wing
eXhausts air from the interior of
the car, affording ventilation with
out drafts and without, obstructing
vision. With this construction,
Nash uses a fixed windshield, which
permits twin wipers.
Improved Mechanically
Mechanically, the 1894 cars have
been improved with numerous limo
vations and changes from previous
design. Two noteworthy advance
ments are the coincidental clutch
starter and the new transmission
found in all models.
Nash has left adoption Of indi-
vidually sprung front wheels entirely
to the desire of the purchaser by
providing a new and practical front
axle development as optional equip
ment on all models
The new starter is linked up with
the clutch pedal. To start the en-
CINE, the operator first switches on
the ignition. then presses the clutch
pedal all the way down.
When the engine starts the mani
fold vacuum automatically breaks
the circuit, and the starter motor
can not. be operated as long as the
engine is running.
Transmission Is New
The transmission, in all models, Is
new. 1t is a heavier and stronger
unit, synchro-shift system. Helical
gears are used throughout, even for
first and reverse.
All engines are the twin ignition,
valve-in-head power plants, which
provide so many advantages found
in no other car.
Two spark plugs simultaneously
ignite the gasoline in the cylinders
to provide greater SmoothnesS of
operation and also % per cent more
power, five miles per hour more top
speed and two extra miles per GAL
lon of gasoline.
The 1884 Big Six, 116-inch wheel
base, has an entirely new twin igni-
ton, valve-in-head engine. The
bore has been increased to 33s
inches, giving 234 cubic inches dis
placement; horse power has been
increased to develop 88.
The gain in horse power comes
not only from the increased dis
placement, but through the use of
larger valves and new manifold de-
sign. Down-draft carburetor is used.
