Instruments with larger figures on the dial, the “clock” type speedometer which permits mileage reading at a lance, and the instrument panel in ront of the wheel are developments that enable a driver to watch the con- trols without taking his eyes off the road. The internal sun visor, adjust- able to any degree, is another achieve- ment that makes for ety throu mination of dangerous sun glare in the driver's eyes. While the fuel pump is not new, it & interesting to observe that 1932 sees tiuls 4-year-old device on 97 per cent of the new cars. Under the classification of these de- vices which make for better operation and longer car life are the oil filter, air cleaner and ofl regulator.
