If the shafts could be stopped the tendency would be for the engine and car to revolve about them. This sets up strange strains in the engine and chas: . The springs of a Hotch kiss-driven car will often show the re sults of these strains in the way the aves slip out of line. by the time this ha car has been sub-| to y far serious rains. “If you were to ask any fair-minded more | manufacturer or mechanic, T think he | would tell you that the big, in car ownership is to unde design of the car you driv the drivi in a different that if you understand it and keep t ings and shackles all times.
