Chiefs, also “Sug” Horton, New

scoffed at by the local manage

on the Camden team last year and
if they play in the Palmetto

on its claims to them.

The compression ratio has been
markedly increased in both the
six- and eight-cylinder engines*
resulting in both improved per
formance and great gasoline
economy.
Longer wearing brakes and the
elimination of scoring have bean
attained by Cycle-Bonding lin
ings, instead of riverting them.
Quieter and cooler brake action is
produced by new heavier high-
ribbed drums. Improvements in
the hand brake have made it
easier to set a feature that will
appeal particularly to women.
The steering wheel post has
been tilted forward eight degrees,
which lowers the top of the wheel
rim slightly over one inch, result
ing in better vision for the driver.
Steering has been made easier
and the transmission of road
shocks minimized by the use of
a new central steering system,
with reserve caster.
A newly-designed “Presto-
matic” Fluid Drive Transmission,
hydraulically operated, includes
important refinements over for
