BY DIR. Il. G. DICKINSON,

President Society Of Automotive Ensineers.
Passenger cars are due to be stream
lined more and more completely IN the
next two or three years. There are
various reasons why this should be
done, one of which Is that public taste
Is likely to run in that direction. There
Is, however, room for some interesting
speculations as to Just what the change
will mean in the engineering Of new
passenger car designs.
The primary object Of "streamlin-
ing" aside from questions Of style and
fancy. Is to reduce wind resistance at
the higher road speeds and thus per-
NIT more speed with less power and
can be had to a considerable extent.
but the process raises several questions
which may be OF interest to the user
as well as the designer Of passenger
cars.
II one may take . figure Of 100 as
representing the power required to
drive typical 1890 car at go miles
per hour on Q level road, the same car
with the best example Of 1888 body
design will rate about 80 and the best
practicable streamlined body might
rate 80. Thus designers so far have
gone only about one-quarter Of the way
toward the ultimate goal Of low wind
resistance.
Speeds Will Be Higher.
II now the car in question be one
Of the lighter models weighing, say,
1000 pounds, and one assumes that
the new streamlined design is built
with the same base power and car
weight, the new model will have q top
speed of perhaps 120 miles per hour
In place Of the 80 miles per hour pos
sible with present designs.
In order to do this with the same
engine. however. the designer will have
to use q different gear ratio because
the engine will not run fast enough to
drive the car at 120 miles per hour and
still deliver full power. But If the gear
ratio is changed to avoid running the
engine too fast at top speed the car
will not give the same performance on
hills and in getaway.
While few drivers like to talk about
driving at really high speeds, 1t is very
fortunate that these speeds are yet
more evident in the club and Office than
on the road. Aside from legal limita-
tions, there are few places where any
driver can use with even measurable
saftey car speeds to be had with 1888
models.
If the new streamlined cars are to
have both high speed and good per-
formance, more gear ratios must be
used-four or more instead Of three.
VIII drivers be satisfied to change
gears? Probably not.
Automatic Shift Seen.
The next possibility. then, Is some form
Of automatic or at least more conven-
lent gear shift. This we shall have.
While the advantages Of more and
easier gear changes have been seen for
q long time. and much work has been
done In developing such units, pronis-
ing practical designs are only Just now
coming into view. Has the advent Of
streamlined cars led to new gear sets,
or has the promise Of new gear sets
encouraged streamlined bodies? Per-
haps It Is q little Of both.
Now II We assume that good new gear
sets Of some kind are to be had which

will let the engine run more nearly
at its best speed without wearying the
driver with gear changes, q new line
Of progress opens.
Assuming for a moment that there
are a few million drivers who never
expect to drive over, say, IS miles an
hour under any circumstances, but still
want plenty Of pep" and ability on
hills, there will be call for cars which
will do just these things without carry.
ing q 12o-mile speedometer. Such .
set Is good enough. Instead Of q top
horsepower Of about 80, now popular, 40
horsepower will do. This engine will
have to be well built, for 1t often will
have to run at top speed to give the
speed we wish on hills, but on the level
1t will have little to do and the gear
set will allow lower engine speed. Get
away" may be as good as ever II the
gear set is good enough.
Room Inside Car Gains.
It looks, therefore, as if we can have
streamlined cars with more room in
them than at present, which will per-
form as we'll as those Of today with
about half the engine power and less
than half the gasoline. They will have
to use some new form of gear set or its
equivalent which We soon shall have.
However, II streamlined cars are to
travel at speeds of 100 miles an hour
or more, as they certainly may, some
thing will have to be done about roads
and traffic rules One shudders to
think Of two cars passing each other
on an 18-foot strip Of highway at any
such speed.
Progress in highway travel has 80
outstripped the imagination that none
Of us can think clearly on the subject.
Not so many years ago, II one had the
temerity to drive from Washington to
New York, he set aside two days for
the trip and watched the weather re.
ports before he started. Today, II one
finishes business by o'clock in New
York. he gets q good sleep in Washing
ton that night, and pays little attention
to the weather at that.
Much Of this difference Is due to
highways, but much is also due to the
perfection Of recent motor cars. With
the new step in prospect for real
streamlining, car design takes one more
long step ahead Of road design and sets
a new mark to aim at in the way Of safe
high-speed highways. This is q good
field for some Of the idle labor which
must find q place for useful work while
the country Is pulling itself out Of the
present state Of affairs.

meeting road inequalities. This action

Chrysler

For its tenth anniversary Chrysler
has offered cars totally new In design.
Rear seat passengers ride 20 inches IN
front of the rear axle, instead OF over
II. while the motor is nearly 20 inches
further forward over the front axle
than in ordinary design. All pitching

mated by reason OF this new olstr1pu-
ton of weight. To make this posslpie
the entire car had to be redeslgneo.
The Airflow body thus not only &C
commodities the internal rearrange-
ments, but provides true aerodynamic
design. The eight-cylinder Airfow
Chryslers are startlingly different IN
appearance.
Speeds, with comfort, Of from 10 to
90 miles per hour over dirt roads are
claimed for these new creations. The
radiator grille is smoothly grounded
curve flowing back gently into the
windshield line and to the roof The

l3O-horsepower engine and Is mounted
on a 128-inch wheelbase. BY reason

There Is also an entirely new method Of

This provides more space for both front

proved riding comfort is afforded as
result Of "knee action" wheels. which
are combined with improved rear spring
suspension and more balanced distribu-
ton Of weight.
Front wheels are attached directly to
the frame without the use Of q front
axle. This permits the use OF soft con
springs equal in tension to those IN the
rear. The entire coil spring mechanism
and shock absorbers are encased IN
weather-tight housings and operate IN

Cadillacs feature the improved Fisher

Knee action is a fundamental part Of
the chassis change. Through an entire
ly new principle of weight distribution,
the adoption of frame within frame
and use of frictionless helical front
springs glide or flat ride" has been
obtained. Combined with the new steer
ing mechanism this results in greater
ease Of control. Each front wheel is Sc
cured to the frame by parallel upper
and lower forked arms. Elimination of
the front axle reduces inspiring weight
and keeps the wheels in contact with the
highway. Rear springs are Semi-elliptic,
but have fabrication control through
graphite bronze inserts. A rubber COM
position strip between the main and Sec
ond leaf of each spring fixes interleaf
friction at a definite value. A tortional
side-sway eliminator is also provided.

numerous refinements. chief Of which
are the use Of heavier crankshafts and

DON'T PITY THE FARMER

1T is a roseate vision that is spread before
Il the American farmer. Ease and prosperity
will be this portion. No more viii he know
back-breaking toll and hardships and mort
cages
SO say those who look askance at the
policy of paying the farmer for not raising
crops or livestock or something else, instead Of
making him toll from dawn to dusk, with the
hot breath of the wolf forever scorching the
back Of his roughened neck.
But it seems little hasty to consign the
farmer to such a fate. Years of hard training
hardly will be forgotten, merely because lit
tie mamma has come from Washington
He has become Injured to labor. There still
VIII be the COWS to milk, the steers to feed, the
horses to be curried. the tractor to be tinkered
with, the wood to chop, the postholes to be
dug, the chickens to be pampered, the hay to
cut, the garden to woodland then it'll be bed
time.
No, we need not lie awake nights worrying
about the awful fate that is about to befall the
farmer. If he ever finds any leisure time, he'll
know how to take care of it, without sitting
around brooding about how easy life has
become.
