Devélopm-ents in Automobile Field as Described by Agents Nash Cars Are Boxed for Shipment Kenosha, Wis., July 29— When the greatest of all transpertauon mediums—the automobile — itself requires transportation, the process used in protecting cars for shipment is one of the most interesting and elaborate systems developed by the moter industry. More than one and one half mil- lion feet of lumber are used each month in the huge overseas shipping building in Kenosha where the Nasii Motors company has evolved one of the most efficient and painstaking systems of protecting cars for ex- port known in modern shipping. Some sixty trained men send the cars along the progresstve assembly which boxes them so perfectly that neither rough handling at seahoard, open roadstead unloading, nor ex- traordinary conditions sometimes tncountered overseas can injure them in any way. The export cars, bound for points on all the seven seas, are so well housed that their packing cases ar: often used for garages and houses 4n lands where good Iumber fis scarce, and travelers in far coun- tries are apt to see the famous Nash nameplate emblazoned on des- ‘ert huts and seaside cabins in some of the world's most out-of-the-way places. Dodge Pistons Axe Designed for Power The care and precision necessary jn the design of pistons and the lubrication of cylinder walls where those pistons operate can readily be calculated by the fact that each pis- ton in a New Dodge Brothers Six engine travels approximately 2,100 feet a minute inside the cylinder when the car is driven hour. At that speed, the engine in the New Dodge Brothers Six is turning et the rate of 54 revolutions a sec- ond, and during every revolution each piston travels a distance of 7 3-4 inches up and down in the eylinder wall. For every 100 miles the car travels, each piston rolls up & mileage of approximately 39 miles, eperating in a ‘“roadway” only 3 7-8 inches long. To meet this tremendous strain and insure maximum efficiency in operation, Dodge Brothers engineers have designed aluminum-alloy steel strut pistons that offer unusual ad- vantages over every other type. The construction provides two Invar Metal struts that support the con- necting rod side pressure and insure the same expansion for pistons as . for the cylinder. The aluminum al- oy piston has the advantage of he- ing lighter in weight, permitting NASH 40D 60 miles an | lighter connecting rod assembly and resulting less wear, ‘more power and greater flexibility. Because the pis- ton head is normally. the hottest spot in the engine, increased conduetivity of aluminum eliminates the chief cause of :pre-ignition. To insure exact balance, pistons of the New Dodge Brothers Six engine, each weighing 17 3-4 ounces, are assembled in. groups of six and matched so that none vary more than 1-8 ounce. Such precision as- sures perfect halance and maximum | vper;\lin"' efficiancy.

Independent manufacture of past model parts became necessary just as soon as-intensive production be- gan on the new sixes. - When the company was specializing in four cylinder manufacture the turning out of past model parts was re- latively easy. The drastic changes represented in the 1929 car, however, and the increased demand for precision work on the main production lines made it impossible to follow tha former method. Hence space has heen set aside in these two giant factories ‘and special machinery in- stalled for the exclusive manufac- | ture of past wmodel paris. Chevrolet's service training schools have been generally given credit for the expertness of mechan- ics in the dealers’ service garages, This skillful army of trained work- ers has always heen recognized the company as the keystone arou which the efficient Chevrolet ser- vice system has evolved, New Buick Models however, was not an accidental dis- | covery. The engineers who designec | the De Soto Six, developed this par- | ticular feature of the De Soto only | after an exhaustive study of the| mechanical requirements needed to offset the innumerable jars bumps the car is subjected to day's driving. 1.ong before the first De Soto Six made its appearance, these engi- neers in the big Chrysler Motors re- search laboratories were planning the features of this car Yhat have reduced driving fatigue to the van- ishing point and have given the driver of ‘a De Sofo Six as much comfort as if he were at home 1n his favorite easy chair. The accepted method of merely halancing spring deflection and car weight was thrown in the discard— the entire spring suspension was planned to conform not only with the “sprung” weight but with the “unsprung’ weight as well. The lat- ter, the engineers explain, fs tne weight not supported by the chassis springs. Reducing this unsprung weight to a minimum lessens tne bouncing of the wheels ana axtes on uneven roads and pavements, and at the same time lessens severity of the shocKs tramemitted to the frame | and | in a from the springs.

Now Being Shown Tne 1930 Buick made its debut last Saturday on the showroom floors of approximately 4,000 deai- ers throughout the country, and, ac- cording to factory officials, this new creation will prove one of the outstanding sensations of the year in both performance and appear- | ance, The Buick line, as in former years, is divided into three series. The wheelbase and the horsepower of all models of the three series has been iner ed, The wneelbase of the six models of the 40 series has been increased from 116 to 11» inches and the engine has been stepped up to 80 1-2 horsepower. In addition to lengthening , the wheelbase, the car has been buiit lower. Body lines and contours have been refind, the shape of the radi- ator revised, the margin of the ra- diator shell diminished and thermo- statically operated shutters added to the front. Many mechanical advances have been increased. The wheelbase of steering wheel road-shock eliminat- ing device is one of them. Semi-elliptic springs and double acting shock absorbers are used, to- gether with four-wheel internal ex- pansion controlled Servo brakes, re- designed transmission and clutch, Motor Car Value | has been utilized this summer in the improved rubber motor mountings ond a wider and sturdier chassls frame. A sloping non-glare wind- shield is another advancement in- corporated in the new Buick. ENGINEERS BELIEVE FLOODS CONDUERED Work in Mississippi Valley Shows Excellent Progress Washington, July 29 (® — High army engineer officers expect this vear's work to rid the lower Missis- sippi valley of the menace of dis- astrous floods unless the water unex- pectedly reached such tremendously high levels as in 1927 Construction of levees and flood- ways along the Mississippi and its principal tributaries has progressed, the engineers say, until the can withstand any rise in the waters ex- cept a flood of cafasirophic nature. The effectiveness of the lower valley protection system, they believe, was demonstrated by the very high water 1ast spring. About $54,000.000 has been ex- pended out of the $325,000,000 ap- propriated under the 1928 flood con- trol act, Major General Edgar Jad- win, chief of army engineers, said foday. During the first year o work, $24,000,000 was spent chicfly in strengthening and repairing le- vees on the main stream damaged | by the 1927 fiood while $30,000,000 commencement of the general pro- ject. This year’s work has included the raising and widening of the levees on the main river and tributaries to the new federal grade promulgated under the flood act and the starting of work on the floodways and spill- ways. A program calling for ex- penditure of §30,000,000 o $35, 000,000 is planned for next year. Noisy Milkman Warned Not to Disturb Peace Milkmen must be. careful, else they will be reported to the police | department. In the small hours of | the morning they must not make much noise; they must not let the cans rattle as they go about their ‘ask, This is a ruling handed down hy the police department, the test case coming Saturday evening when Sam- uel Hanna, who lives at the corner of East and Day streets, complain- ed that the milkman who unloads milk at his house at 3 o'clock in the morning was making a lot C!’I unnecessary noise. The officer on the beat warned the milkman, who said that he would try to do his| duty more quietly. Mr. Hanna also complained at the same time that some boys were making noise at his corner. Officer Harper investigated the complaint and could not find the boys, saved the situation. One man, a Chinese laundry worker, was arrested for disorderly conduct. Visitor Loses $10 But Wants Only $5 Back Claiming that he had been roilel to the tune of $10 but that he would be satisfied if he received $5 back, for he felt that he owned the other five for drinks that he had received, Walter Dobrowski, 130 Gold street, Imade a complaint against l.eo Las- kowski, 435 Burritt street, late Sat- urday night.
