Now that is what overdrive does
adds more driving range-in fact,
three of them-to a motor car, to be
used at will, and in no way interfering
with the standard ranges. Standard
ranges are necessarily compromise
since the same car is sold in all parts
of the country and must be able to
meet any kind of road conditions;
mountains, hills, sand, level stretches
of pavement, ct cetera.
The Columbia two-speed axle type
of "overdrive," available for Ford
and Lincoln-Zephyrs is located in the
rear axle and, in no way, interferes
with operating either of the cars just
as they come from the factory. The
three standard ranges of perform
ances are available at any time, but
when range beyond the. standard is
wanted, the driver simply flecks a
small lever on the dash. Immediately,
the change becomes as pronounced as
the change from one gear to another
in the three standard ranges. The
motor reduces its speed approximately
80 per cent and smoothens out sill
emily, yet the car speed remains the
same. Practically all driving parts
slow down; noise and vibration disap-
pear and the driver automatically re-
lakes in new world of motoring.

etts Institute of Technology in 1898
with the degree of Bachelor of Science

He entered the service of the Bell
System on June Is, 1898 at Boston.
In September, 1901 he was placed in
charge of central office engineering

was appointed assistant vice president

new DRIVING
RANGE ADDED
BY OVER-DRIVE

Owners of motor cars equipped with
"overdrive" have found that a COM
pletely new driving range is added to
their automobiles. In reality, new
motoring world is opened up to them
They experience a new thrill as they
are swept along by silent power, free
of noise, vibration and engine effort
1t is almost as though they were
coasting down hill. There is less IA
tigue behind the wheel, less driver ten
sion, less consciousness Of machinery
and driving parts.
An experiment that illustrates the
difference that "overdrive" makes IN
the performance of an automobile can
easily be made with your present car.
Merely go into low gear and step on
the accelerator. Immediately, the en-
CINE winds up with a roar, the car
leaps forward. BY holding down on
the accelerator, the engine speed be-
comes tremendous, but the car speed
doesn't keep up in proportion; the
noise and vibration are excessive; con-
sumption of gas and oil is far above
normal and there is terrific strain on
moving parts. If kept up for any
length of time, your car would have to
go to the repair shop.
That is one driving range of a mot
or car.
Now, shift into second and you get
into a different driving range. I'M
mediately, the motor speed is reduced,
there is less noise and vibration !;
smaller consumption of oil and gas;
less strain to the driver and feel
ing of relief and exhiEration-yet the
speed of the car has not lessened.
Again shift, this time into third
gear and third driving range is at
once realized. The engine smooths
out, the car speed remains the same,
yet the engine is working much less,
using much less gasoline and oil and a
tremendous strain has been taken off
the driving parts which have slowed
down considerably.
Now, if it were possible for you to
go into a higher range with your
present car, you can readily under
stand what difference it would make
in the cars operation. Your engine
would become practically silent, silk
en-like in its smoothness because 1t
would be turning over much slower,
although the car is going just as fast.
Noise and vibration would disappear
and the difference would be as mark
ed to you as when you changed from
the first range into second or from
the second into third.
