Cadillac Engine,
V-63, Popular
^ell-Balanced and Harmon
ized Mechanism Has Im
pressed Car Owners.
Sine* the announcement of the
new- V-63, the feature which has
made the moat outstanding lmpres
slon upon Cadillac owners and the
general public has been the per
formance of the new', inherently
balanced and harmonized engine, ac
cording to Jay W. Dunivan, Cadillac
manager of distribution.
"Because of exhaustive tests made
before the new car was placed In
production, the company offered the
new typo with absolute assurance, but
we wer* scarcely prepared for the
general quick grasp of the engineer
Ing principle'by those who consider
themselves ‘motor wise’ only in the
most practical sense,” states Mr.
Dunivan.
"We have also had many state
ments from automotive engineers
that the persistence with which the
Cadillac company has adhered to the
one principle of engine design has
been ono of the outstanding phases
of recent motor car history. Cadillac
engineers have consistently held that
the motor car is primarily a passen
ger carrying vehicle and that the
engine should be of a type which
would leave the greatest percentage
»f chassis space for body purposes.
The rigidity of the short crankshaft
and crankcase, and the smooth flow
of power in the 00-degree, V-eight
design, have been added factors
which have determined them In con
tinuing the V-type. 90-degree, eight
cylinder design.
Truck Master Title N
of Truck Drivers
L. ft. Fisher of Rochester, N. V ,
Is the winner of the national content
of the General Motors company of
Pontiac, Mich., for the best suggestion
for a new name for a motor driver.
This contest was started several
months ago with the idea of finding a
name which would improve tho mo
rale and fit the man who has charge
of a motor truck. The contest was
started as the result of a suggestion
by a national magazine which assert
ed that the drivers of a locomotive, a
street car or an automobile all had
a separate classification and that the
motor truck driver should have some
designation.
Ths name suggested by Mr. Fisher |
and picked as the best of all the sug
gestions received, was "truck mas
ter.”
Kxeeutives of the General Motors
Truck company feel that the term
“truck master" expresses the position
of the operator of a motor truck much
omre clearly than that simply of
"driver.” In nearly every ease the
driver of a motor truck Is In charge
of that truck and he has one or more
assistants working for him.

Reo Speed Wagon
in Long Non-Stop Run
A record that will doubtless stand
unassalled for some time Is that es
tablished by the Speed Wagon which,
as a port of the official motor con
voy for the Pony Express furnished
by the Reo Motor Car company,
raced 2,270 miles across the country
without having Its engine stopped.
During 220 consecutive hours the
engine of the Speed Wagon continued
its steady hum and during that period
it was necessary to feed it only five
quarts of oil. This is a remarkable
record in itself, but when the running
conditions are known, It seems all the
more remarkable for the almost in
surmountable obstacles which were
overcome.
The Speed Wagon with which the
record was made was taken directly
from the assembly line in the big Reo
shops at I-ansing. Mich., and shipped
the same day to St. Joseph, Mo., the
starting point of the Pony Express
run. It arrived in St. Joseph less than
24 hours before tlie scheduled starling
time of the trip to San Francisco, had
only such preparatory service as
could be given at that late hour, and
started on the long journey after hav
ing been driven only seven miles.
On one day after losing ground to
the ponies which it was following dur
ing a battle with muddy roads, the
Speed Wagon covered more than 380
mile* in 11 hours of running time.
Aniericaif Trucks to Help
in Reconstruction ^ ork
That, the lessons of war can be ap
plied to the catastropbies of peace '«
being demonstrated in the early call
for American-made motor truck*
which has followed the Japanese up
heaval. Almost as soon as wire com
munications were restored, cabled In
struct ions arrived for the shipment ot
American trucks.
The first shipment of Pierce-Arrows
already has been made and a second
shipment is about to leave.
When one sees the sturdy ,yet
prosaic motor truck hauling its heavy
load through etty streets or over
country highways, one is not disposed
to regard it as an envoy of inter
national good will. Yet American
made trucks did much to strengthen
the friendship of our allies during the
w>ar and it would appear that they
ate puce more to tie highly instru
mental in earning and cementing an
even closer regard on the part of that
great Pacific empire which is now
passing through the hour of Its great
os' need.

Yellow Cab Express
The new Yellow C'ab one-ton truck,
known as the Yellow Cab express,
will be marketed through a dealer
organization and factory subsidiaries,
according to a recent announcement
by officials of the Yellow Cab Manu
facturing company.
This is the first time in the history
of the company that a Y’ellow Cab
product has been made available to
dealers, and was prompted. It Is said,
by a country-wide demand that the
new truck unit be distributed through
conventional trade channels.
This new policy will in no way af
fect the present plan of selling Yellow
Ccbr, which are sold direct to the
user.
efore any definite selling plan had
been decided upon, scores of applica

Oakland Open Models Now
Equipped With New Top
To meet the demand for closed car
comfort In open car models, the Oak
land Motor Car company has made
special provision on the new 192!
models. Because it has become less
customary in recent years for owners
to drive with the top down and be
cause a permanent top permits the
embodying of many features that
make for more perfect weather-proof
construction, Oakland has adopted
this type of top on all open models.
Five hows are used on this top
which makes it possible to obtain a
much bet'/ > shape: for 'he top to con
form closely to the body, and to
eliminate the top overhanging the
body in the front. As the result of
the five-bow construction, the top Is
much stronger than the regulation
folding top and is 17 pounds lighter
than the pre lous Oakland tops
Heat of Flexing
Hard on Casings
Cord Casing, 33x5, Will Flex
358,000 Time^ in 100
Mile Drive.
An ordinary piece of steel wire will
become hot after b%ng flexed a few
times and in the course of a minute
or two will break. The ordinary au
tomobile casing is called upon to
witstand the action of this heating
and flexing millions of times.
A 33x5 cord casing, for example,
will flex 338,800 times in a 100-mile
drive. Each time any given spot in
the casing flexes when It strikes the
ground a little bit of heat is gener
ated inside the tire. This brings about
an additional problem for the tech
nical man who Is charged with the
responsibility of giving the car own
er a muxirpum amount of mileage In
each casing. He must devise a means
of escape for this Internal heat. It
Is destructive to the tire because It
serves to separate the plies of fabric.
Therefore, the sidewall of any au
tomobile tire is made very thin so as
to afford a means of escape for the
heat. Rubber is pretty much of a
non conductor of heat, so the sidewall
must be thin. Some of the heat gen
erated inside of the casing is ab
sorbed by the metal rim which la a
good heat conductor.
This principle of heat generation
can be easily fo«|pd out by any mo
torist simply by feeling the tire after
driving some time without a stop.
The tire will be warmer than the at
mosphere.
A 33x5 casing in the course of a
nrmal season of driving will flex
from 15.00U,oftO to 35.000.000 times,
which meant) from 5.000 to 10,000
miles, according to Miller tire men.
In all of these millions of flexings
the tire must be prepared to absorb
md throw off the strain without
breaking, as the piece of steel wire
does after 20 or 30 flexings.
Improvements in
Willys-Knight Cars
Certain notable changes In the de
sign of the Wtllys-Knlght five and
seven passenger sedans have greatly
added to these two models already
noted for their distinctive beauty.
Chief among these Innovations are
longer, freer lines sweeping" back
from the radiator, which Immediately
impart a distinction that is much ad
rnired by those who -have inspected
the models .
The windshield with a lower divi
sion that swings open for ventilation,
with a metal sunshade and a wind
shield wiper, form a unit that can
not be surpassed for completeness
and convenience, while the clock,
speedometer, oil gauge and switches
are grouped in greater symmetry on
the instrument board.
A clever arrangement of webbing
in the roof of the car results in an
astonishing degree of inside quietness
that has ben widely commented upon.
That the designer had the comfort
of the passengers at heart is. shown
hv the adoption of much wider win
dows throughout, and by the provision
for lowering the windows in the
front doors to a point below the
sills, which allows ore's arm to rest
at ease on the sill. /
The steering whepl has been raised
The seats are well pitched at a com
fortable angle.

Good Brakes Needed
Due to Fast Driving
In these days of crowded traffic
conditions ample braking power Is a
vital necessity, according to Mr.
Grunwald, Stutz distributor.
"When cars travel the city streets
in a steady procession from morning
to night at such comparatively high
speeds as they do today, there can't
be any guess work about brakes,”
states Mr. Grunwald. "The driver,
to be sure of his own safety and that
of the passengers In the car Just
ahead of him, must know that his
brakes operate efficiently and quickly.
He must know to a nicety how much
distance Is required for him to come
to a dead stop. His brakes must
always be in perfect adjustment.
"Freedom from brake worry is al
ways the rule with the man or wo
man who drives the Stutz Six. The
giant brakes—at least 10 per cent
larger than those of comparable cars
—afford a mighty, equally applied
grip over such a large braking area
that the Stutz Six can be stopped
with incredible swiftness.”

California Law
Will Be Enforced!
Nev Vehicle Act Requires
Motorists to Keep to
Right of Street.
Serious trouble Is to be encoun

the provision in the new California
vehicle act. which states that all ve
hicles must operate on the right
hand edge of the right half of the
highway or street, according to a
warning issued yesterday by officials
of the Auto club of Southern Cali
fornia.
Autoists cannot proceed at a leis
urely pace down the center of the
road under the new law, refusing to
move over to the right and give the
right of way to faster moving ve
hicles Only In oases where It Is
necessary to draw out to pass an
other car, is It permissible to use
the center of the highway, thus
blocking traffic.
Auto cjub officers state that much
traffic congestion Is caused by heed
less or stubborn motorists who main
tain unusually slow rate of speed
down the middle of the road and re
fuse to pull to the right, allowing
other vehicles to go ahead at a fea
aonable rate of speed.
