You will appreci- ate, also, the balance of the whole car, and the resilience of the cushions, which protect you from the least particle of the shock which the wheels encounter. It does not take very deep consideration to find in this fact proof of the correctness which prevails throughout the Haynes. Its smooth and flexible motor performs its func- tions just as perfectly and as faithfully—the strength of its axles,and its sturdiness through- out, all are equally manifest, if you know the ear marks of a fine automobile.

They all belong to the smothered school of engineering. Chrysler engineers went to the fundamen- tals. They were not content to smother vibration, or change one smashing blow. into forty little taps—because that didn’t eliminate. They ordered vibration off the premises. Here’s how they made the Chrysler a vi- brationless car: First, they cast the cylinder block and crankcase in a unit. That gave a solid foundation to work on. Then they built a crankshaft 1 7-8 inches in diameter—big enough for a two-ton car That made impossible crankshaft whip— which is the basis of vibration. Still that wasn’t going far enough to suit them. So they mounted that big crankshaft tance between crank supports, 89 that no explosive force can possibly whip the Chrys- ler crankshaft. And they didn’t use the old-time shimmed bearings, either. The Chrysler has shim- less bearings, set up tight, with just 2-1000 of an inch between the bronze-backed bearing and the polished chrome nickel steel shaft. In that tiny space is a film of oil, forced through the crankshaft by a constant pres- sure pump. Of course you see the result. The Chrysler crankshaft is. literally supported on a bed of oil. Friction is eliminated. Vibration is wiped out. Then they made the connecting rod bear- ings just as big as the main bearings and floated them on the same kind of. oil film to cut out metal-to-metal contact. Next, the ten-inch connecting rods were drop forged in 1-beam section of the finest steel to make them light but rigid,and then scientifically tapered so they could take— and enjoy—the stiff punches of the power strokes. Finally, the three-inch pistons are of excep- tional strength and lightness. Three rings are fitted above the heavy bronze-bushed The result is that vibration gets a perma- nent knock-out blow in the Chrysler. Just test it for yourself. Load your Chrysler ‘up with five large adults. As you are spinning along, put on your 4-wheel brakes and pull your speed down to, say, two miles an hour. Then shove your accelerator to the floor. Watch the rush of power—as smooth and velvety as water slipping over a falls. Keep your accelerator right»down while your speed climbs to 70 miles an hour, or etter. Notice that there is no “period,” as the engineers say. Notice that the Chrysler does its job smoothly and sweetly at 8 or 5, at.25 or 30 or 85, at 65 or more than 70. That means no vibration, not vibration .merely thinned down, or smothered, or cov- ered up. In every detail of its construction and ma- terials, the Chrysler is of the same supreme quality. It couldn’t be made better if it cost you twice asmuch. Try out the Chrys- ler for yourself, and learn what a really wonderful car it is.
