Automotive Engineers Gives Valuable Hints Schools for violators as an adjunct for traffic law enforcement programs have proved successful, according to the American Automobile associa- tion. The announcement is based on a survey conducted by the Safety and ‘Traffic Engineering Department of the national motoring body. “These schools have proved merit- orious in several types of cases, in- cluding juveniles, adult offenders who would have been indifferent to @ fine, and instances where a fine would have constituted a hardship,” Thos.

Corwin-Churchill Motors, Inc. is distributor for Plymouth while other local dealers include M. B. Gilman Company, Rosen's Service Garage and Short Stop Super Service. The cars embody a redistribution of weight and a new front spring as- sembly declared to produce much more comfortable riding for rear as well as front seat passengers. The body types, on wheelbase of 113 inches, are business coupe, two- door sedan, de luxe sedan, de luxe four-door sedan, de luxe two-door touring sedan and deluxe four-door touring sedan. Bodies Resist Wind The bodies nave been designed to resist wind pressure in front and wind drag in the rear. Radiator, headlamps and fenders have been given a different treatment to elim- inate wind traps and flat surfaces. In the new cars the body and frame are bolted together at forty-six points, the frame becoming a unit of the body, along with the steel floor, side panels, center posts and other members, Seats are wider and the floor has been lowered, giving a lower center of gravity for greater stability and safety. The engine has been moved forward over the front axle. This slows down the action of the front springs and allows greater room within the body. Passengers now ride between the axles, Further to improve comfort, new thin-leaf springs have been de- veloped which permit the weight of the car to be distributed over a lar- | in addition double-action shock ab- sorbers and a sway eliminator. Three Major Advances ‘Three major improvements have been made in the engine to keep the temperature down and reduce gasoline and ojl consumption. These refine- ments are full-length water jackets, directed water circulation and cali- brated ignition. 4 The jackets, which previously ex- tended only along the upper half of the cylinder bores, now cool the cylinders from top to bottom. A tube through the engine block now sup- Plies water direct to each cylinder and exhaust valve seat, the hottest. part of the motor. The new method of spark control utilizes the vacuum in the intake manifold to prevent spark knock with ordinary fuel. The hydraulic brakes are said to be further improved, especially as to equalization of wear on the facings, thereby giving them longer service. ‘The braking area has also been in- creased. In the new Plymouths the ventil- ating wings on the front windows have been eliminated, and instead there are single windows with single controls. The entire ventilating sys- tem has been simplified, with open- ings under the front seat so a8 to give freer passage of air. The ventilator at the cowl is now larger. A new device for measuring the ‘amount of carbon monoxide in the ‘air has been placed on the market for use by cautious motorists. When con- centration of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere reaches .02 per cent, a point at which death may result in a few hours, a warning alarm rings. If after overhauling the rear-axle assembly of a car, a hum occurs while the motor is pulling, the ring gear and drive pinion mesh too tightly. If the hum occurs when the car is coast- ing, the gears are meshed too loosely. ‘Worn kingpins, steering knuckles, or tires are frequent causes of shim- Percentage motor user taxes to all taxes from all sou! $1,214,000,000 $750,000,000 tly by Belgium United States provides for a cut of 15 per cent in the Belgian’ duty on federal, state and local .....scceseseses AUTOMOBILE’S Automotive industry is the largest purchaser of gasoline, ber, steel, malleable iron, mohair, upholstery leather, lubricating oil, plate glass, nickel and lead.
