After stardom is attained, well, anything goes for a star. All de- upon taste. Some of them express themselves in half a dozen important-looking limousines. A few take to airplanes.

Low Priced W-K Six _|Opens Up New Market Willys-Overland’s recent introduc- tion of a new Willys-Knight six, to sell at the lowest price ever reached af a car employing a Willys-Kinght sleeve-valve engine, is considered equally as spectacular as the com- pany’s drastic Whippet price reduc- tion that has placed this car in direct price competition with the lowest priced cars in the light four cylinder field. The Willys-Knight Standard Six proximately 25 per cent lower in price than any car of this type ever built by the company. Its in- troduction opens an entirely new market since thousands of buyers were formerly prevented from own- ing a Willys-Knight six because of price consideration. It is known that because of the highest type of engineering and workmanship demanded in the pro- duction of a Knight sleeve-valve engine, the manufacturing costs have been materially higher than the cost of building power plants of another design. In fact it was believed for years that because of the high cost \of producing the sleeve-valve engine \it would never be possible to install | this type of power plant in a car | selling below $1,500. However, through Willys-Over- land’s 15 years experience in build- ing Willys-Knight sleeve-valve en- gines and other types, manufactur- _ {ing costs have been reduced and to his ackard. other economies have been worked out that have made possible this new Willys-Knight six at the lowest price in the history of the company. The completion of Willy-Overland’s new body building plant also has been an important factor in bringing about this new low priced Knight engined six. The Willys-Knight Standard Six is a companion car of the Willys- Knight Special Six and the Willy- Knight Great Six, the two older lines of Willys-Knight sixes that the blond star, | sell in-a higher price field.

Hints on BY ISRAEL KLEIN Science Editor, NEA Service Working with the clutch, in the process of making the engine move the automobile, is the transmission. This consists of an arrangement of gears by which a car may pick up speed in gradual steps, or back up when desired. Knowledge of how these gears work may help toward elimination of the scraping noises we hear when oor operation cause them to clash. In fact, it may avoid the possibility of stripping some of the teeth from the gears and so making the entire transmission worthless. ° The gears are so arranged in the transmission that, when the lever is in neutral position, they do not mesh. All that is happening, while the engine is running and the clutch is engaged, is the revolutior. of the main driving gear on the engine shaft and the countershaft gears with which contact is made to those on the propeller or drive shaft. Since the operating gears are not meshed, the clutch may be en- gaged. But when the lever is to be thrown into first, to mesh the large sliding gear on the propeller shaft with the smaller one on the running counter shaft, the clutch must first be disengaged completely—the foot pedal must be clear down to the floor board—or there will be a scrap- ing of gears, a straining and pos- sibly stalling of the engine. That, too, is how gears are stripped of their teeth and rendered useless. This is what happens when the lever is shifted: Car Care The engine has been running at a normal speed, while the lever is in neutral and the car is standing still. While this is going on, however, the engine is driving the gears on Med a peed at the same speed is going. When the clutch is disengaged, the engine is separated from the countershaft gears and leavves these to revolve on the momentum it has ‘iven Pa ih Dae) a oo, ing, at @ comparatively apeed, =d ere iL oapi can re concen wie sliding gear on the propeller shaft, the clutch may then te let in slowly and the car started. Having picked up enough mo- mentum, the clutch is disengaged again—separating the engine from the transmission—the sliding gear is moved to the next faster coun- tershaft gear, the clutch is let in again, and off goes the car at a higher speed. on At the highest speed, third, the engine is connected directly with the propeller shaft, by the same clutch and lever action. For this reason, the engine may be slowed up or speeded up in direct proportion with the road speed desired. But if the car is slowec down too far, there will come a point in the contact where the pull of the car will be too much for eugine and the motor will stall. To prevent this, the transmission must be shifted back into neutrai position, and then into the next lower gear. In lower gear, the gear wheel di- rectly connected to the engine is smaller than the one connected to the propeller shaft, thus accommo- all the auto cam: ground: to rtion = 5 pull on the car thconth low et niga start Ladheag or keep it pulling up a Pp iit tratflc are considered better . adhe este lators than the system ot AUTO CAMP MAP traffic lights. rush hours, The Atuomobile Club of South-| these lights are out of commission ern California has just completed| and the coppers hold sway.
