SATURDAY, MARCH eases -------- Motor -------- Car W J C--------------r orld is idely Known 1928 NODELS OF ALL CARS SURPASS PREVIOUS DESIGNS Mechanical Improvements, Appearance and Comfort Much Superior Have you seen the new Chevolet «the New Star--the new Ford? The Little Marmon, the custom- built Jordan, the illustrious Chrys- ler? The notable product of Gen- eral Motors, the Cadillac, the "ask the man that owns One", Packard. What of the LaSalle, the Hupmo- bile, the Country Club Buick? Value rumors of the Stearns- Knight, the Kissel, the Splendid Stutz? And the Victory Six, (by Dodge Brothers) and the Graham- Paige, Flying Clouds, by Reo, and the Chief of Sixes, yes, Pontiac, and the Whippet, young brother to Willys-Knight, 'the great national headliner" and so on, ad infinitum. It is 1928, they are new all new. Striking body designs, will first at- tract attention. But the subtle and countless improvements to motors, to chassis, reflected in the silent swish on the city streets, and th comfort on the country roads. Al these things are made manifold with the joy of ownership, the joy of exploring ohscure roads and vil- lage inns, the joy of effortless trav- el. (Gears slip into place silently, there is no grind or pull. There is no grind or pull in the most diffi. cult grade. The brakes work si- Tently on the trip down the other 'gide of the most difficult grade, Distance means nothing. Dist- ance lends enchantment to the view, Let's step op the gas and find out. How long did it take your great-grandmother to go to York with Dobbin? Would Dobbin | ever get there? Poor old Dobbin, it it took a day. Podr old car, if | it takes sixty fleeting minutes. Spring will be here. Spring that will vie with its exhiliration, and its speeding up of the daily routine, {| with the exhiliration of travel in the humid air, and the speed of the new model. The beautiful colour design will be streaked with dust from the white roads.

Then the summer--and the ear will slide through city streets, country towns, the broad highway, and then moonlight nights, and open water. The sandy beach, and not a motorcycle in sight. The breeze blows fresh frem the was- er. The sun is slowly seeping, and skin burns brown. The day hut ends at the office, so the night he- gins, it is hot--but what is five miles with The Car? New' vistas, new lanes that know no turning, and some that know innumerable , turnings, different soil, and the | stores are so different. Thankful for the car, that will siop, turn, and be first across the street, with the trafic problem solved for you at least. The cigarettes are differ- ent, and therefore good. The or- chestra--there is no doubt. Who cares for a mere hundred miles back to home and scenes familiar? There will be more cars sold in 1928. Who can doubt it? Who could resist the panelling of this, the sportiness of that? Yes, we will paint the- house this week. Our car looks as if the wealthy relations are visiting. We used to be proud of the fact that we were t the only family in the block with- out a car. And now, we are proud that we are the only family in the block with a car. } Will there be room in the streets for all the cars in 1933? Yes. mes enfants, the cars will be out on ! dusty roads, and parked beside "babbling brooks". They will be , under the blue of heaven, and the , dark of night. Business men will 'be whisked home reading the pa- per, and to the club. Their wives shall drive them, 22d take their + boy friends out for the evening. The cay shall veritably come wien Public, that much cartocned and l2mpooned animal, shall inher- it the earth, or ot least a four eyl- inder. and shall ride beside even baliplayers and boxers. Canes and hets will be relegat- ed to the lost limbos of other and mullifs relics, and ancient archives will recopd the fact, that one of the snecies, pedestrian, stil] survives, in the latter part of the twentieth century. 10USs MAXIMUM EXPLOSION PRESSURE O. H. T. asks: What is the pres- ure in pounds upon the piston and cylinder-head of an average auto- mobile engine at the time of the explosion? Answer: 250 and 350 Somewhere bLetween pounds per square inch, for an iofinitesimal instant after ignition, assuming that the engine is runninz with full throt- tle. When throttled down the maximum pressure is mueh less and in every case it falls off very rapidly after the maximum point. The ratio of compression det ! mies the maximum explosion pressure, which is also affected by the form of the combustion and other factors. Hizh compres- i sion engines in excess of 400 pounds per square inch. It goes without saying that the total pres- sure on a piston is found by multi- | plying its head area, in inches. by | the explosion pressure per Syuatey space SENSATIONAL MODELS OF THE "BIGGER AND BETTER" CHEVROLET | | That interest aroused in the New Chevrolet has been well merited is indicated by these first photo- graphs of this latest addition to the light car field. The rounded corners and graceful lines of the new Chevrolet sedan are shown in the upper right-hand photograph, folding seat and disc wheels, occupies the centre, while at the lower right is the coach, the body of which is five inches longer than former models. Insets are: upper left, the massive new radiator and heavy full crown fenders; right, the sturdy and clean-cut motor of the latest model, with new two-port exhaust and complete enclosure; lower left, a view of one of the four-wheel brakes, are reduced in price, are to be available at once, They are larger and longer than former models, By Automotive Engineer If people were as cruel to their dumb animals as they are to their automobiles during the winter months, the officers of the S.P'.C.A. would have a busy time of it. Dut since all of the damage has fo he carelessness or the carelessness of whoever is driving his car, About a year ago the engineers of one of {he large oil made some investigat u out some facts in ragard flow of oil in a cold motor. discovered that it took as five minutes before the oil reach ed certain bearing surfaces, In the meantime these surfaces were running practicaliy without Ilubri- cation! Even the cold weather oils ar» sluggish and inclined to be gummy when the mercury gets down around the zero 'mark. The oil cannot flow freely through the frigid pipes and leads. It is mneh different than in the summer when the ofl pump immediately has a supply of oil pulsing through the leads just as soon as the gine starts to turn over, It does not take. .a good mecha- nic to see what harnr can be done in racing a cold motor before it has had a chance to run a while and warm up. In additioy to the delay in getting the oil to flow, imagine the destructive influence of the raw gasoline pulled through the carburetor when the choke opened. This gasoline enters far faster than it cap be burned, with the result that the excess quanti- ties flow down past the pistons, cutting away the oil film that has gathered there from the last time the engine was operated. The ex- en- crankcase, cutting the oil and greatly reduces efficiency. It is necessary to use the choke to start, of course, but every min- ute that it is kept open after that time is very bad for the engine.
