AS with Cadillac, there is no

arm and the lower supports the
helical front springs.

Play Safe
Auto Makers Find Out
What Public Wants.

TITO give the public what it
Il wants to build a motor car
that will meet the demands of the
people who must use them-is the
aim of every manufacturer in the
industry, John G. Chick, general
sales manager of Cadillac Motor
Car Company, explains.
But what does the public want?
To get the answer to that query
we sent questionnaires to many
thousands of motorists. From their
replies we learned that the public
is not satisfied merely to have
good qualities such as beauty,
comfort, dependability and safety,
in general, but has very specific
ideas to just what details of design
should be included to attain these
qualities" he remarked.
by our research among the
people we have taken much of the
doubt and the guesswork out of
our work.
We have been able to close the
gap that has existed between the
large producer and the consumer,
thus regaining some of the adj
vantageS that the old-time artisan
enjoyed through his close con-
tact with the buyers of his wares.
THAT contact enabled him to
serve his customers in the way the
customer wanted to be served.
"All industries supplying in
dividual consumers must recognize
the retail buyer as the hub about
which his activities must revolve-
and all those that can do SO will
benefit"

ing qualities.
The six is longer, with a wheel
base of 116 inches, while the Fights
are 1913 inches. Among the many
body refinements is a clear-Vision
ventilation system.
The smart new interiors of the
standard eight and the de luxe six
we're designed by Graham engineers
in collaboration with Norman bel
Geddes.
The supercharger in the new Gus
tom eight cylinder Graham in
creases the motors horsepower AZ

economy. 1t is of the centrifugal
type.
One of the effects of the super

hour.
The supercharged custom eight.
however, gains in speed most rapidly
at from forty to sixty miles an hour,
with the engine delivering increased
power so smoothly that there seems
to be no limit to its maximum
speed.
Provides Fuel Economy
Despite its greatly improved per-
Torrance the supercharged engine
is as economical in gasoline con-
sumption as the standard engine,
because the mixture of fuel and air
is more thoroughly vaporized than
is otherwise possible, and thus a
'leaner," more economical mixture
is used.
Because of the equalized dis
tribution of fuel to the cylinders.
the engine starts and warns up
more quickly, eliminating excessive
choking.
Adds 80 Horse Power
Last years Graham straight-eight
engine developed ninety-flve horse
power. The supercharged engine
develops 135-horse power.
Mounted between the down draft
carburetor and the intake manifold,
the supercharger is in reality a
blower" which mixes the gasoline
and air coming from the carburetor
and forces it into the engine at
high pressure.
The supercharger is not an at
tachment, but was designed as an
integral part of the power plant.
The bore and valve diameters of
the custom eight motor have been
slightly increased, the drive chain
made heavier and the high COM
preston ratio further raised to OBJ
tain with regular fuels increased
efficiency and power.
Among the many new features of
the entire Graham line of cars, both
Fights and skies, is the clear vision
ventilation system, permitting in
dividual control by passengers in
the front and rear compartments
of the closed models.
Stale air and smoke are whisked
out, and air currents directed to suit
personal convenience.
When the front window is opened
the first half turn of the crank
slides the glass back forming YER
teal opening through which air
from the interior is drawn out.

PLUG WIRE IMPROVED
AC Engineers Perfect Product Used
in Many Cars.

Better starting and less ignition
missing are made possible through
discovery of an alloy now used in
making spark plug wire.
The new alloy, invented by engi-
neers of AC Spark Plug Company,
is so full of free electrons that it
also is being used in radio tubes.
A majority of the cars at the au-
tomobile show are equipped with
spark plugs containing the new
ALLOW wire.

More Power, Knee Action
and AirfoiI Lines
Are Features.

A brand new La Sale for 1884,
designed and built by Cadillac and
with custombuilt bodies by Fleet
wood, is feature of the Cadillac
exhibit. La Sale offers four body
styles this year-f1ve-pasSenger Sc
dan, five-paSSenger club sedan, two
passenger coupe and two-paSsenger
convertible coupe. The prices,
81 ,495 and 81 ,595, f. o b., Detroit,
bring the new models to a lower
range, states G. M. Hammond, head
of the recently formed Hoosier
Cadillac Company, Cadillac-La Sale
distributors, 1880 North Meridian
street.
AirfOiI Design Used
The chassis combines the new
discoveries in riding comfort While
the "knee-action" construction is q
major feature, there are others of
note, such as higher compression,
lightweight alloy pistons, downdraft
carburetor and scientific manifold
ing, giving high power output for
the straight-eight motor.
Smoothness is aided by an ex-
tremely rigid crankShaft set in five
main bearings and strengthened by
a crankcase and cylinder block
built as a unit.
In carrying out the aerodynamic
body design, which, as with air
planes, seeks to lessen wind resist
ance, close attention has been given
to the streamlining of body details
such as tenders, headlamps, wind
shield, beaver-tail back. The fender
design is the nearest yet to the air.

LAFAYETTE'S INSIGNIA
is WORK OF SCULPTOR
Cameo Designed by Frenchman Also
Was SOciety's Emblem.

The cameo used on the Nash
built Lafayette car is based upon q
medallion executed during the nine
tenth century by Jules Eduoard
Rome, French sculptor, and later
adopted by the American Numis-
matte Society of New York, an Or
ganization of authorities on rare
coins and medals.
1t was also used on the Lafayette
car of decade ago, the name hav-
ing been chosen then because one
of the founders of the original COM
pany laid claim to a great-grand-
mother who had been married in
the presence of the famous revolu-
tionary general and because the
motor car builder had a great in
terest in Lafayette as a historical
figure.
