booster mechan ism and goes into operation at the turn of the steering wheel when the car engine is running It has the advantage of making steering practically effortless in cornering at low speeds parking and similar situations where considerable eff ort is required normally Further7 more resistance to road shock is an inherent feature of the hydraulic control Greater driving comfort results from the fact that occasion of severe road shack is absorbed in the hydraulic gear Driving feel is retained by resistance built into the system and prac tically effortless steering is had with positive control under all driving conditions In negotiating turns or curves at other than low speed release of the steering wheel permits the front wheels to return to normal centre position without driver effort Many other engineering refine ments are apparent in the new Pontiacs For 1953 the sixcylinder en gine has been made more power ful This gine teamed with syn chromesh transmission has been stepped up to 115 horsepower at 3800 RPM with new compression ratio of 70 to When used with automatic transmission the horse power is increased to 118 at 3800 RPM and has compression ratio of 77 to This increase has been accomplished by the use of duplex carburetion with new intake mani fold new camshaft more compact combustion chambers detailed changes Ofl pump capacity on both tli 8cylinder and 6cylinder engines has been increased The new pump as capacity of gallons per minute at car speed of 60 miles an hour new easy pull hand brake has been introduced which gives easier action of the
