Smith also noticed there were a few cars_with a_ few features that could not he found on other cars, but even in the case of the less conventional machines majority of the units were along conventional lines. W¥..doésn’t some manufacturer come out with a car made up of all the newer ideas?” Smith asked Joe, his favorite mechanic. “It seems to me that someone is missing a wonder- ful opportunity to upset the auto- mobile market.” “The manufacturer who attempts to upset the market this way is more likely to upset himself.” Joe was ready to explain. “The most successful cars awe those with units that are a com- promise between engineering design which has been found reasonably satis- factory and that which shows promise of being an improvement. A manu- facturer with & car that is well thought of cannot afford to adopt a lot of new ideas all at once. When a manufacturer comes to put out a new model or bulld an entirely new car his greatest problem is compro- mising. He must consider both ex- tremes of design for each unit and adopt the compromise. Then he is further handicapped by the cost of materials and labor as well as the price at which he must sell the car. Must Meet Competition.

Again the manufacturer has to compromise. He is able to produce a quiet valvein-head motor by using | more complicated valve mechanism, | but this very complication and multi- | plication of parts and intricate adjust- ments encourages him to compromise by using some design which has al- ready achieved the reputation of being fairly satisfactory, particularly if he has adgpted one or two very new ideas in the construction or operation of some other units of the car. Demountable Head Unwise. “It was a long time before the de- mountable cylinder head became gen- eral, but many engineers are begin- ning to see that it was not a wise move. Several of the newest cars have discarded it. You see, while it is con- venient to be able to remove the head of an engine for cleaning out carbon, the demountable head affects the valve adjustment, changing it enough through contraction and expansion of the metals frequently to keep an en- gine from being efficient. “All but one manufacturer have now abandoned the cone clutch, but this type of clutch has advantages which some engineers still believe warrant its continued use. | Tt may grab and not be so smooth in operation, but it not prone (o warp.
