NEW FEATURES IN CADILLACS

Under the inspiration of General
Motors silver anniversary year, Cad
lilac designers have produced new
and graceful Interpretation Of aero
dynamics and streamlining in the
body lines, while the engineers have
instituted revolutionary improve
mentS in chassis features and con-
Struction.
"Knee-action" front wheels are
one of the most striking of the 1884
engineering features. They make
possible an entirely new standard Of
riding comfort. In fact, the whole
scheme of mass and weight distri-
button is new in these CadillacS -
made possible by the adoption of
this radically different type of
frame and front wheel suspension.
Vastly improved riding qualities are
obtained, giving what is termed a
glide, or flat ride, and marvellous
ease has been brought to the steer
ing and handling Of the car.
The Cadillac models include the
Va, the VIZ, and the ultraluxur-
ious vie. The V-8s have bodies by
Fisher, with Fleetwood bodies op-
tional. Both the VIZ and the Vie
have Fleetwood bodies, the style and
colors being the most complete Cad
lilac has ever presented. All three
lines have Fisher improved no-draft
ventilation.
1t is announced that the Vie is
continued this year as a special
lied, customized line, with produc-
ton limited to 400 cars for 1884
Refinements in body lines give
not alone leSsened wind resistance,
but also eliminate air noises. The
lines encourage a smooth, silent
passage OF air currents about the
car. The new V-shaped radiator is
Sloped to the rear. 1t is fitted with
new grill front and ornaments.
The hood extends nearly to the
windshield. The air-foil type front
tenders are brought low to cover
chassis details, while the rear fen
ders blend with the streamlined
tail lamps. Headlamps are of tear
drop design, with parking lights
built into the streamline supports
All bodies are two inches lower
and Fleetwood bodies are from two
to four inches wider in the COM
partments. Provision for radio in
stallation is made in the center OF
the instrumental panel.

S|NOOTHNESS
STRESSED IN
NEW Pom laos

PONTIAC, Mich, April 4. (Spe-
ciaD-It is conceded that every mo-
torist wants a smooth running au-
tomobile engine. The smoother the
engine the greater the pleasure in
driving. According to B. H. Anibal,
vice president in charge of engineer
ing of Pontiac Motor company, an
engine designed for smoothness is
not all that is necessary. Weeks
and months Of designing and test
ing are wasted unless just as much
care is taken to manufacture
smoothnesS into the engine.
THE Pontiac management decid-
ed to build nothing but straight
eight engines" said Anibal, because
they knew that with four overlap
ping power impulses to every turn
of the rankshaft the smoothest kind
of the crankshaft, smootheSt kind
means an uninterrupted flow of
power which you do not find with
fewer cylinders,
Pontiac production experts have
backed up by smoothness of our g.
cylinder design" continued Anibal,
with special tools and machinery
that turn out just as perfectly bal
anced rotating and reciprocating
parts as you will find in any auto
mobile.
Close Inspection Made
For instance, the II pound 100
per cent counterweighted crank
shaft, which rotates at high rate
of speed, is as smooth on it's bear
ings at any speed as it is when the
engine is not running. That is
brought about by placing every
crankshaft in running balance in an
ingenious patented machine even
before the accurate machining and
grinding operations are started. Fol-
lowing the final machining opera
tions, each shaft gets the customary
tests for both static and running
balance. Flywheel and clutch as
semblies are similarly balanced.
THE short stroke or throw of the
Pontiac crankshaft greatly stiffens
it, prevents twisting and distortion,
and increases engine smoothness.
Another feature that contributes a
lot to its smoothness," Anibal went
en-, sis the use of eight counter
weights which are forged as integ-
raj parts of the crankshaft. Cent

mated the heavy front axle. Each
front wheel is secured to the frame
by parallel upper and lower forked
arms. Simplification is effected by
employing the upper arms as a
means of operating the hydraulic
shock absorberS and the lower arms
as support for the frictionless he
lical springs, which are half the
weight of equivalent semi-elliptical
springs and give a softer, easier
ride.

ing pressure at all speeds. 1t is one
of the few crankshafts that is 100

Engine smoothness is increased
further by equipping the front END
Of the crankshaft with an harmon
ic balancer which neutralizes any
tendency of torsional (twisting) vi
bration."
