1933 Buick Wheelbases Are Longer Bodies Are Made Larger, Engine Control More Automatic. The series of new Buicks are longer, wider and more roomy. New sweeping wide streamlines and interior appointments characterize all models. More than four inches have been added to the wheelbase of the 50 series, bringing it to 119 inches. The 60 series has been increased from 118 to 127 inches, the 80 series from 126 to 130 inches and the 90 scries from 134 to 138 inches. Front treads have been widened from 57 inches to 59 inches, and rear from 59 to 60 ; 2 inches, resulting in greater roominess and improved stability. The long, low flowing lines accentuate the increase in length. Flowing Lines Feature A chromium finished V-shaped radiator grill, lower and broader fenders, longer hoods and symmetrically flowing lines mark, the front view. The backward slope of the windshield, curved roof lines, fender valances and running boards forming a continuous line, larger doors closing flush with the running board all tend to emphasize the lowered bodies. In the rear of the bodies curved sheet metal forms a continuous line from roof to below the frame. The spare tire is equipped with a full metal cover finished in body colors. Attached to the rear bumper is a gravel deflector. Either the new Buick steel wheels or wire wheels are optional. The steel wheel is of artillery type, 17 inches in diameter, with large hubs and short, stocky spokes. Choice of Upholstery The closed body types permit a choice of w'hipcord, mohair or broadcloth in harmonizing colors. Size of the passenger compartments Is increased by the longer wheelbases and wider treads. Front apartments are 1U inches and rear seats 1% inches wider. The valve-in-head Buick straight eight engine is mounted at five points in resilient rubber, in a heavier and more rigid frame. The addition of a second oil ring plus the usual two pressure rings on the pistons is said to reduce oil consumption and add to engine life. To eliminate the long “breaking-in” period, the pistons are electro-plated with bearing metals. Automatic devices are designed to make control and operation of the car as perfect as possible without attention from the driver. l’edal Is Eliminated The elimination of the foot starter pedal is replaced by a push button at the left side of the dash. A touch of the finger automatically engages the starting gears by electro-mag-netic attraction and turns the motor. The automatic carburetor heat control replaces the former manualoperated device. This maintains the gas mixture at proper temperature for best performance under all driving conditions. Radiator shutters are eliminated and the w'ater temperature is controlled by a thermostatic by-pass that cuts the water off from the radiator and circulates it through tho engines until the proper operating temperature is reached. The 1933 line includes twenty models. On the 119-inch wheelbase are a tw'o-passenger business coupe, a tw’o-passenger convertible coupe, a sport coupe with rumble seat, a five-passenger sedan and five-

The Nash Big-Six sedan follows the streamlining of the larger models bearing the same name with v-shaped radiator, slanting windshield and tilted spare tire.

Plymouth Makes Its Bow With Six-Cylinder Model Automatic Thermal Control Built Into Manifold; Free-Wheeling and Transmission Systems Improved. The new r Plymouth Six is making its first auto show' appearance. Entirely new from bumper to bumper and from top to tires, it has a deep sloping radiator; wide, deep front and rear fenders constucted to conceal the chassis; a similarly concealed gasoline tank and sloping hood louvres carrying out the lines of windshield and radiator. Four body styles displayed including business coupe, $495; rumble seat coupe, $525; four-door sedan, $545, and convertible coupe, $565.

With ample outside and inside body dimensions, the driver's position has been made more comfortable by a special front seat design and a more nearly vertical steering wheel. Howl Overlaps Cowl Structure The hood overlaps the cowl structure, except at the top. where space is allowed for a single long, narrow ventilator. Bodies are of the full size safetysteel type, constructed only of steel welded into one complete unit with bracing and ribbing at all points where strains might possibly occur. The six-cylinder floating power engine is mounted in rubber in two points and has a bore of 3V inches and a stroke of 4ls inches, with total displacement of 189.8 cubic inches, developing seventy brake horse power at 3,600 revolutions per minute. Quick starting is assured by means of a choke valve in which a secondary valve is incorporated to allow' air to flow- through the carburetor when fully choked as soon as the engine fires. A combination air cleaner and intake silencer is designel to improve engine performance. An automatic thermal control has been built into the manifold. Intake valves are of chrome nickel steel and exhaust valves of heatresisting silchrome. Pistons of Aluminum Alloy Aluminum alloy pistons of light weight and of an entirely new design reduce reciprocating weight and bearing loads. The new Plymouth Six piston allow's greater clearance passenger victoria coupe with builtin trunk. On the 127-inch wheelbase, a sport coupe with rumble seat, convertible coupe with rumble seat, five-passenger sedan, five-passen-ger victoria coupe with trunk and a four-door, five passenger convertible phaeton.

at the piston pin ends than at the thrust sides of the skirt and are cam-ground on special recently developed grinders. The floating power engine mountings differ slightly in design, but not in principle. Two-point suspension with the front mounting raised to balance the weight of the pow r er plant is continued. The rear mounting is located in the same relation to the front mounting as hertofore. The torque spring, however, has been replaced by two rubber insulators, which absorb the shock imposed when the engine is accelerated suddenly. Easy to Operate The free wheeling unit is of the cam and roller type developed by Chrysler Motors engineers. The unit itself is housed in the transmission case and is lubricated by the transmission oil. The free wheeling control has been simplified and is easy to operate. This control is linked with the automatic clutch control so that either one or both may be used simultaneously. Automatic clutch mechanism on the new six is located on the left side of the engine, directly in front and below the clutch pedal assembly. The design and application of the automatic clutch remains the same in principle as that of other Chrysler Motors cars, except for a device known as an Inertia compensator, operating in conjunction with the control valve which automatically adjusts the rate of clutch engagement regardless of the driver’s manipulation of the foot accelerator. Seats Are Adjustable All front seats are adjustable by means of a trigger latch with sufficient range of adjustment to make driving comfortable. The rubber floor mat is backed by a cushion material that acts both as a sound deadener and as insulation against cold. The instrument panel, on which are mounted all essential instruments, is readily visible from the drivers seat. The speedometer is of the clock hand type. This applies also to the oil pressure gauge. The headlamp switch is on the instrument panel, with a foot switch to control the depressed or full range of the headlamps.

Foot Worked Early ‘Alarm’ on Motor Car Plunger Fitted Through Floor of Car to Operate. One of the first horns or “alarms" invented for an automobile was that of Gaston E. Cordeau of Brooklyn. This horn was operated by the foot through the floorboards of the car. It was attached underneath, and a plunger was fitted through the boards. The mechanism consisted of a bellows similar to that used in small insect spray boxes. A spring inside forced the plunger back when it had been depressed. Air created by the bellows actuated the horn. John W. Sutton of Brooklyn, perfected what was thought to be the last word in automobile speed indicators in 1902. His invention made use of colors in designing different speeds. A plate, worked by the forward motion of the front wheels of the car. slid back and forth according to the speed of the wheels. Lys Added to Cast Lya Lys, Lawrence Grant and Alan Edwards have been added to the cast of “Clear All Wires,” which George Hill is now directing for M-G-M. Lee Tracy, Benita Hume and James Gleason have outstanding roles in this adaptation of the Bella and Samuel Spewack stage play of the same name.

Eyes Are Fooled by Auto Device Piston Whipping 8,000 Times a Minute Made to Seem Stopped. Whipping up and down 8.000 times a minute, an automobile ena p piston is made to appear to the t>e as standing still by an instrument known as a stroborama. It is a device by wluch even a whirling airplane propeller can be made to seem motionless. One was exhibited at the New York Auto Show, as part of a precision and quality exhibit for which the entire main dining room of the Roosevelt Hotel was taken over by the Packard Motor Car Company. The stroborama is one of the testing devices used by Packard to watch what goes on when parts of an automobile engifle are working at top speed. It makes possible an intimate study of piston and cylinder oiling, valves, valve springs and other vital parts of an engine. Scores of other instruments and machines used in motor car research work or in manufacturing processes were exhibited. One set of scales from the Packard laboratories weighs the impression left by a lead pencil on a piece of paper. A measuring scale was used during the exhibit to show just how many hundred thousandths of an inch thick was a hair which any visitor might wish to pluck for the purpose. Measuring blocks which are correct in length to a millionth of an inch and a light ray machine used to check their accuracy were exhibited. One section has a big display of diamonds taken from the stock used to drill Packard connecting rods and to do other fine machinery work. Company Returns to Hollywood Having completed exterior sequences at Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s “Pigboats” company has returned from its Hawaiian location trip. Robert Montgomery, Walter Huston, Jimmy Durante and Robert Young have leading roles in this story of submarine adventure, while Madge Evans has the principal feminine role. Jack Conway is director. Murder Mystery Announced Adrienne Ames will play the feminine lead in “Murder at the Zoo.” Charles Ruggles and Lionel Atwill are in the cast. Edward Sutherland will direct.

Among the new sixes at the show are the Rockne convertible sedan, shown above.

Gas Pedal, Starter Work as One in Chrysler Line Four Series Displayed, Including an Eight, Priced Under SI,OOO. The Chrysler line for 1933 comprises four entirely new cars—the six of 117-inch wheelbase and 83-horse power; the Royal eight of 120-inch wheelbase and 90-horse power; the Imperial eight of 126-inch wheelbase and 108-horse power, and the Custom Imperial of 146-inch wheelbase and 135-horse power.

The latest innovation is an allsilent transmission, introduced in all models, which is silent in all speeds, including first and reverse, previously conceded the right to make some noise. This silence is accomplished by the use of helicaltype gears, with first and reverse operating on helically-cut splines. Second gear operates on a constant-mesh helical gear. Another feature is an improved automatic clutch of the vacuumcontrolled type. The new clutch has a pendulum-control valve which makes it impossible for the car to jerk even when starting from a standstill. The new automatic control type shock absorber automatically is controlled according to the road conditions by a device built into the shock absorber. Anew valve seat insert prolongs the life of the car and improves its performance. Loss of power due to valve deterioration is eliminated. Another improvement • introduced in the new Chryslers for the first time is anew type T-slot piston, lighter than those previously used, and carrying five rings instead of four. All models are equipped with a coincidental accelerator type starter. The starter button has been eliminated and the depression of the accelerator pedal automatically starts the motor.

Inventors Offer Odd Auto Ideas j 'Stepper’ Made to Aid Car in Hill Climbs Didn’t Work. What a vehicle the modem autoI mobile would be if it incorporated : some of the early inventions filed in the United States patent office! Ever since (he automobile was introduced in America, it has furnished a fertile field for the inventor. Some inventions submitted in the early part of the twentieth century were astounding then and i hailed as revolutionary appliances , and developments. But today some ; of them seem comical, i One of the most unusual automobile appliances listed in the 1904 record books of the patent office is that of Henry M. Landes of Sacramento, Cal. Landes’ idea was a i “stepper” for mi automobile to be ; used in aiding a car to climb a steep ; hill. H In those early days a ear’s power ion a hill was generally woefully | weak. Landes’ invention was oper- | ated by an auxiliary motor, and con- | sisted of a curved bar resting on the ground behind the car. When the old bus had a hard time making a hill, the auxiliary engine was started and the bar at the rear operated in the manner of a foot, raising, lowering, and shoring the car ahead. Early in 1900 Henry Wilcke, Detroit inventor, submitted plans for a starting jack to the patent office. This jack was supposed to aid in the then vigorous process of starting a car. The jack was fitted on the rear axle and was hand-operated by the driver in the car’s seat. At a certain height the jack would tip and throw the car forward at enough speed to start it on the way. Needless to say, this Invention wasn’t adopted. Another "Panther Woman” Verna Hillie, Detroit's finalist in the recent Panther woman contest, has signed a featured player’s contract with Paramount. Her signature brings the number of girls benefited by the search to four. Kathleen Burke won the role in ‘lsland of Lost Souls,” while Gail Patrick and Lona Andre recently w'ere given acting contracts. Business Opportunity Ads are called that because they offer opportunities for making profitable Incomes in small and large business.
