This is the one unit of the automobile that has remained unchanged since the first gasoline-propelled vehicles were produced, although it was the LIGHT CONTROL Io MADE EAGY Oakland Has Switch On Steering Wheel to Aid Driver. Why do so many motorists fall to dim their lights when meeting other cars coming in the opposite direction? It r is not so much dis courtesy as an inherent human lazi ness to reach down to the dash to do so. Frequently it is due to the fact that the driver feels he does not have the car fully under con- trol while so doing. In the new 1924 Oakland True Blue models the centralized arrange ment of all the operating controls on the steering wheel instead of the dash does not require a motorist tc take his hands off the wheel to switch the head lights from bright to dim and back again. <A twist of the thumb only is nec: y to operate the heac In fact the n > S necessary for the to remove his hand from the se with which Oak- hts are switched on and off. nd I steering wheel is fr shifting gears. This unique ture was com mended next to the four brakes as a gr particularly » by po: Hee and traffi als who have been given demonstrations in the hundreds of cities and towns through which the Oakland True Blue Travelers are being sent to every section of the country. These True Blue Travelers were sent from t factories at Pontiac, Mich., September 8 to give a nation-wide demonstration of the performance of the 1924 Oakland models, with par. ticular reference to their safety fea tures. demonstrators of these cars how full attention can be given the road and traffic under all 8, operating gas lever, choke, ignition and lghts without removing elther hand from the wheel or eyes from the road The engine on the new models ts also equipped with a full automatic | spark control, which insures the correct timing of the spark at any given engine speed.

As a result of the hand controts being all centralized on the steering olumn, the Oakland instruments on the dash are attractive grouped un der a glass covered panel. which is ndirect! hted A beautifully rangement results, which appeara unit that most needed improvement. It is generally admitted that the shifting of gea is the most diffi cult operation that driver must perform. It is particularly a hard ship for women, but even the most . a occasionally shifting, while the skillful enough from high gear going at good small sears in number of drivers to shift infallibly into second while speed is extremely New Driving Elements Pos: The Chandler flatly that the not only makes easy as steering, duces new elements of safety, con venience and comfort in motoring. Chief of the advantages of the new unit {s its availability in emer. gencies. In descending a steep hil the safest way to keep the car under control is to have the car in gear either in second low. Mc drivers know this, yet this expedie cannot be used unless the necess! for {t is forseen before the descent is begun, as once the car attains any considerable speed, it is impos sible with the ordinary transmission to change to a lower gear. Then, if the brakes fail to hold, or burn out the descént is uncontrolled. With the Traffic ‘Transmission, however, second or low speed gears may be thrown in action at any time, effec: tively holding the car. Gears Cannot Clash. Clashing or grinding of gears, with the consequent chipping or stripping of the gear teeth, cannot occur with the new transmission be cause the gears are alv ys in mesh The change of speeds is effected t causing any desired gear to take hold of the shaft, and this action obtained by moving the gear shift lever exactly as heretofore. Th change is made silently, positively and as quickly as one can operate the shifting lever. It is predicted that women drivers particularly will appreciate the Traf. fic Transmissién, as “shifting” is no longer a matter of practice, skill, or strength. Pikes Peak Motor Improved. The principal improvement in the famous Pikes Peak motor announced by Chandler consists of a change in the olling system, which is now en- tirely @ pressure feed. The change has a notable silencing effect, the connecting rods now operate against a cushioning film of er high pressure, and vibrations 6 deadened. Increased power gained, with longer life for the bear ings. At a standstill, there is no such thing as tho trouble often heretofore met with in getting low or reverse gears to mesh in order to start the Any gear can be engaged at a standstill without having to fee! one’s way in. Were this device in neral use, many railroad crossing idents might be averted; there have been many fatalities because the driver either stalled trying to cross the tracks in high rather than risk missing a shift, or because he failed to get into lower wear in time.

With the Traffic Transmis- sion, the lever can be snapped from high to second so quickly that there is virtually no interruption in the power applied to the rear wheels. The Traffic Transmission is not n the least similar to any other de- vio, such as mechanical gear shifts, which move sliding gears of the ordinary transmission by mechanical power. It is remarkable that the tmprove- nent has been attained so simply. In the old transmission, the gears were free to slide along the shaft, it the shaft was squared or srooved so that the gears always rned with it. In the Traffic ‘Transmission, the arrangement is reversed. ‘The gears are always in 1esh, and do not stide lengthwise on the shaft, but the shaft is left free to turn within the gears. Any lesired gear 1s thrown into opera- tion by the shifting lever, locks the selected gear wheel to the shaft, causing the latter to revolve. aes a Jack Replaced by Hooks In Garage relieve When one or more wheels must be removed, and the car is supported a jack, there is always an ele- ment of danger present, in that a bump against the car, or by pulling hard on a wrench, the jack will some- times be pulled over.

In order to overcome these difficulties. one |garage worker provided a number of hooks, which he used to suspend the car. while the work was being done. The hook was formed of | heavy flat stock and fastened to the wall by means of cleats, which per- mitted the hook to be lifted out, | the cleats remaining in position. In | this manner the hook may readily be attached at different points in the |warage. In use, the end of the car is raised on a jack to the required | height, and a rope js slung around | the chassis and over the hook. The removal of the jack leaves one end of the car free of the floor and there is no danger of tipping over.—Auto- mobile Digest. ‘FORD RUN | | ain A ae 347 MILES ON GALLON OF » GASOLINE A-new automatic and self-regulat- ing device has been invented by John A.

Special instructors were sent by the Denver agency to take charge of the school, and according to Mr. Robertson, of the Coliseum, no bet- ter results could have been asked for than those obtained. The school will continue during the coming week, and in order to avail yourself of the particulars {t will be best to call the Coliseum Motor company and speak to Mr. Robertson, who is in charge of service school arrange- ments. Owners of fleets of Dodge trucks who maintain their own repair shops may attend the school, as well as any repair shop owners who do Dodge work of any form, Sections tags eee NASH EARRING STATEMENT [S ENCOURAGING Net income of the Nash Motors company for the third quarter, end- ing August 81, as reported by C.
