the new starting arrangement has many other advantages. It's conven- inece lies in its operating auto matically through movements that the driver must perform in strating any car. It has proved to be great battery saver. For one thing, it forces every driver to do what all drivers always, especially in cold weather, should no: thit is, disen- gage the clutch before stepping on the starter. Then, also, it foils the parking-lot attendant or the garage hand who attempts to move a locked car by battery powers.
 The entire transmission, in all models, is new. It is a heavier and stronger unit, synchro-shift sys- tenn. Helical gears are used throughout, even for first and re- verse, with wider faced teeth, ma chine-lapped to a hard polished finish. To permit engagement of helical sliding gears. the transmits sion splines also are 'helical.
 Universal joints in all models are of a new type, having live rubber bushings; they require no lubricat- ing or adjusting, and are said to be nor esilent than the type pre- viously used.
 Under the hoods of all models are to be noted numerous advance ments. All engines are the eXclu- sive Nash twin ignition, valvc-in- head power plants, which provide so many advantages found in no other car. Two spark plugs simul- tancously ignite the gasoline in the cylinders. This not only provides greater smoothncss of operation, but also 22 per cont more power. , miles per hour more top speed, and ? extra miles per gallon. of gas oline than a motor of equal size with only single ignition.
 The 1884 Blk Six (116-inch whcelbase) has an entirely new, twin ignition. valve-in- head engine. The bore has been increased to 3 3-S inches giving 234 cubic inches displacement; horsepower has been increased to develop 8S. The gain in horsepower comes not only from the increased displacement. but through the use of larger valves and new manifold design. Down. draft carburetor is used.
 Improvements have been made in the chassis also. Brakes are equal action two-shoe single anchor type, with all main operating parts cad mium plated to prevent rust and corrosion. The I-beam section front axle has been increased in weight and strength, and the track of the front wheels has been increased to 57 7-S inches. Steering is by worm and roller gear.
 The 100 horsepower engine of the advanced 121-inch wheelbase eight has heavier crankshaft, with larger main bearings, steel backed, babbit lined. Exhaust val yes have been improved in mater iai. The carburetor is down draft. Wheels, either steel artillery or wire spoke, are 16 inches in diam- eter taking $50 by 16 tires. A new rear axle is used, having spiral bevcl gear drive. '..-
 Improved material in the exhaust valves and a new carburctor with drip chamber are changes in the 125 horsepower engine of the Am bassador Eight. 131 and 142-inch whcelbase models, besides the many other improvements already mentioned as affecting all models. In the chassis, the worm drive rear axle is of new design, with banjo type housing and stronger axle shafts. With the new brakes. the drums have been changed because smalled wheels are used.
