N * CARS O BE MADE Gain in Multi-Cylinder Types Also Scheduled This Year. Special Dispatch to The Star. DETROIT, Mich, April 26.—More muitiple-cylinder automobiles are go- > to be produced this year. The new engine designs are in preparation and are looked for in the late Summer or Fall. Chief among theni will be a new 16-cylinder power plant that one maker, outside of Detroit, has in prep- aration. More front-drive cars also are in prospect. One of them will come from one of the largest Detroit makers, who s understood to have enlisted the co- operation of Harry Miller, Los Angeles Tacing car designer. Miller pioneered the front drive on the speedways. He is known to control certain patents ‘covering operation of the mechanism. Another front-drive will be produced in a Cleveland factory. This organi- sation, which is among the older mak- ers, is said to have acquired rights on the Bucciall front drive. This is the design of Bucciali Brothers of Paris. ‘The Bucciali drive involves the indi- vidual mounting of the wheels. The wheels are arranged so as to function independently of one another. It is stated that such a car can be driven over & six-inch curb without shock to the passengers and without tilting the ing Scenes ‘body as to be noticeable. The wheels, it is stated, hold their rigidity notwithstanding the flexibility. A demonstration model of it exhibited to engineers in January was equij with an American-built engine, he T will be difficult for the modern. traveler to associate this home with the life and customs of Fifty~ three yaars before the American Revo- lution [t stands near the village of El- dorado onthe Easlern Shore and was an eatly home of the Lees of Virgina.

One of the bugaboos of the multi- cylinder idea, the engineer said, has been control of the oil. Great progress, however, has been made in the accuracy of piston rings and bores, which have been incorporated in the V-16 construc- tion. With manifolds and carburetor on the outside next to the hood, it was antici- pated that special provision would have to be taken to counteract lower temper- ature of the air entering the hood when starting, but the amount and position of the exhaust heat provided not only ‘had compensated for this but had given an easier starting motor without handi- cap in developing more power.

In concluding Mr. Strickland said a compression ratio of 5.5 to 1 had proved satisfactory in the V-16, especially for an overhead valve job. He added that fuel economy at medium speeds had equaled that of the eight-cylinder cars and :!a! only slightly less at the highest speeds. —_—— TIME TO GREASE CHASSIS Beware of Grit If You Do the ‘Job Yourself. A thorough greasing of all the chassis now is to be recommended. If you do that job yourself, there is one thing to | be borne carefully in mind—wipe each |greased nipple clean before applying | the grease gun. If you don't, you are certdin to force -a certain amount of | grit into the bearing. Grit and bear- ings don't get along well together. Most people nowadays simply take their cars to the service station. That's by far the easiest way. They have spe- cial equipment to insure a good job, and also the various special kinds of greases that are best for efficient lubrication. ! proceeding, so as to mak NEXT: In the Fear} of Maryland FOREIGN DRIVERS ENTER INDIANAPOLIS CLASSIC Italy’s Fastest Car and Champion of South America to Challenge U. 8.

This fact, which on the surface ap- pears so obvious, is one which a proportion of motorists forget, it pointed out by Oscar Coolican, local automobile dealer. Mr. Coolican calls attention to this technical truism at this time because the season of more rapid driving is at hand, and unless the motorist is cog- nizant of it, he is likely to run into costly difficulties. “The motorist who is accustomed to using a given quantity of oil in the Winter months should not be led to belleve that the same amount will suf- g’c‘uhin ;:e’;.l pe{}od c%“long-conununfl er s " Mr. ican says. “Oil is bound to be burned in the motor car engine, of course, and it is an inescapable fact that the faster the engine runs the more quickly is the oil consumed. “Naturally, there is no danger in this, provided the motorist realizes the con- dition and governs himself accordingly. The careful driver will check his oll frequently on the long trip. It is sur- prising how much greater is the amount of oil consumed as compared with ordi- nary in-town driving; surprising, but quite logical. “During the forthcom! ths prudent driver will radically revise his habits of ofl inspection and purchase. He will be rewarded by continued gootl performance unmarred by burned hut ings, seized pistons and the like.
