No. 5—DRIVING ON HILLS
■\
I N soMX parts of the country hills are taken lor granted ... and good steep
ones, too. But for some of us who live in flatter country,.hill driving ia
not so familiar.
As a matter of fact, there are several conditions.
'■ ■ • peculiar to driving ia very sleep hills or mountains,
.V- especially if the altitude is high. For instance, a car
that develops 100 horsepower at 8ea*level, has onljr
82 horsepower at an altitude of 5000 feet, and only 60
horsepower on top of Pike’s Peak. \
Another thing is that sometimes grades are* de
ceptive and we don’t realize how st^ they jire, if
there is no level ground to judge bjf. ~
So if we go on a road trip and happen to get into
c^try where hills are hills, wa often have no idea
ql/what is in store for ua Like as not. We will coma
rolling up to a hill, UWng It for granted that we’ll
make the grade. But' before we’ve gone very far we
find that our power seems to be giving out, and we’re
^ slowing down. Then we realize w'e must shift to second gear, but we’re lucky
if we haven’t found out so late that there we are, stalled on a Will .
Now people who drive on hills all the time say
. one thing to remember Is that there’s nothing like
V a good start. Of course, this is true, because the
Vilnute we start up. gravity starts to work and work
fast. Yard-by-yard it uses up our momentum-till by-
and-by that momentum is Just about gone. Then we
have to shift to a lower gear to increase our power.
Experts tell us that by far the mo.st common fault
In hill-climbing is failure to shift to a lower .gear
soon eiwjugh. So just to be sure, some drivers set a
definite'point at which to change gears. The con
sensus of ^pinion seems to be that we should always
■ go into, second gear speed gets down
“^Sr20 nines an hour.
There are times, however, when we want to stop
on a hill. So it’s important to know* how to start again, with our car on an
upgrade. And (here seem to be two methods used by experienced drivers.
Spme lue their foot brake to.keep their
carsjfrom rolling backward, put their engine
in low gear and accelerate slowly with the
hand throttle, gradually engaging their
clutch and releasing the brake at the same
time. Other good drivers do exactly tRe same
thing, only “they use the hand brake and the
foot accelerator. But both groups tell us it
doesn’t make much difference ... to use
whichever method we happen to like the
better.
Now there aren’t many hills that cars
I \ can’t climb nowadays ... and what goes up
' ^must come down. And that’s where we
have to look out for momentum. He may
have been a friend in need when we were
toming up hill, but going down he’ll run away with us if we aren’t careful.
And if there are any sharp curves or any bad bumps or loose gravel, we have
to be careful or he’ll Ijitch tis; right off the roadi-
Many drivers say that we should go down a hill
in the same gear we would use to get^ up. In other
words, if it’s sleep enough so we would have to go up
in second or even low gear, then we’d better get into
thte nme gear before we start down. If our car la
I in second or. low gear, our engine works As a very
eflectivc brake, and besides it teves a lot of wear
on our real brakes. -
Apeeking of gears, experienced drivers say we
shonid never, under any condition, disengage our
emteh and ^st down hill. That's just what mwnen-
tmn is waiUng £ot. Just gtya moihentum a free rein,
ivithout our engine to cheek it, and nobody can tell
wi'.at's going to happen.
Wh-n we do got ih country where people are used
to driving on hills all the time, it may'seem to us that they take those hills
jvittMOt the slightest concern, ^ut if we were in their cars with them
cooid aratch them closely, we would set thst they taka all thase^i.ie*
cautions wt hart' mentioned, just as a matter of habit. And one Rung is

New Hudson Cars
Presented Here
HAND-lftAKf
MITHOD
l^atest Models of Hudson and^
Terraplane Shown By Clinton i i
JVIotor Company. _ _ ‘ \\
- ^ A
The 1936 Hud.son .sixe.s and eights
have arrived in Clinton and are now
on display at Clinton Motor com
pany’s showroom. The new cars
which are in the low-price field have
been particularly designed by Hud.son
engineiM-s and body ^experts to pro-
jvide size and style features which up
jto this time have not been possible!
in that price clas.s. i
I Both the six cylinder and eight*
cylinder cars ■ are on display and a
number of impoi-tant improvements
will be noticed. In appearance the
new Hudsons''are entirely different
from their predecessors. The new
sloping front grille presents a highly
modem appearance. The V-type
windshield and the entirely new styl
ing of the hood, body and rear con-*
tours plainly date these models as
examples of the latest expression of
the body designer’s art.
Five basic new engineering devel
opments are to be found on the Hud
son cars this year; On these new cars
Radial Safety Control, which is an
entirely new system of front end de
sign,, is. introduced for the first time.
Because of this new front end system,
an entirely new and soften front
spring can be used j;iving rise to a
better ride which Hudson has named
aptly, the Rh}rthmic Ride. It «lao
results in new steering control which
Hudson has called Tru-Lhie Steering.
