Is being used on all nick led parts oa OMsmobiles since the recent instaHai ion of a n w plating method at the Olds Xlotor works. loslHg. Mich. The n. w process not only giv-ji a hei r aad more uniform plating tiut alio coaserves labor. Th principal Innovation In the new method is aa endK-as chain: which conveys the articles being plated through th plating tanks at a set peel. This gives each part just the exact time in the plating bath that will give the, best results. Heretofore tbe length! of time was gauged by workmen1 nd was, t heref ore. subject to 1 human errors. raits to be plated come from! the presses to the plating room where they are first polished with: soft emery on a leather wheel.! They are then rinsed In a cien-1 lng solution, after r.hicfa they are attached to automatic conveyors) that carry them through a tank 1 filled with copper plating solution.) (tea rwr put in men consimAS 15 minutes and the conveyor H regulated to make one complete circle of the tank In that time. The parts are then buffed on a cloth wheel, cleaned and glvn a second copper plating to make sure that all portions are suffi cient!? well covered. The parts are then rinsed and placed in the nickeling tanks where automatic1 conveyors make a complete circle of the big tanks in ti minute. I Plating by this new end a tlflc method gives crartTy the thickness of nickel required ani Insures uniform thickness through., out. The possibility of the work men alighting the time of plat ing when operating on a plec-. work basis is entirely eliminated. Three men tuvng the new equip ment can plate in a day Jfto pieces each of the eight nickeled pars on Oldsmohlles radiator shells, control levers, accelerator pedals. brake levers.' brake lever latch rods, carburetor choke bodies, rad iator crank hole cape and top holders. Good Record Hung Up In Truck Sales During llrJ! By Motor Manufacturers. T Hiring 154 the Chevrolet Mo tor company was the third larg est truck manufacturing concern In the world, being surpassed in the number of trucks sold by on ly two other automobile compan ies.

A considerable nunvlK-r also were u sed for school humes. The utility express has the reg ular Chevrolet vaive-in-head mo tor but is oentructed heavier at various points to conform to the requirements of a speedy, easily operated truck of one -ion capa city. It has exceptionally heavy semi-elliptic springs in the rear. The driving pinion and shaft are integral 10 eliminate any chance of back lah. Gears are special ly heat treated and there is a special bevel f-ar drive at the rear axle. The frame Is of heavy channel steel, well supported hy five stur dy cross members.

A L CUMBERS Tt Is estimated that not enourh peopio ara saving for vacation thwew OAKLAND. f.Qpecial) A real pulsing thrill shot through the nerves of red-blooded Americans who dominate the automotive trares and who constitute the greater majority of automobile owners today, with the issuance of a challenge hy Duranl Motor company for the performance rec ords of its Ftar car products. The challenge has been sound ed throughout the we?t. Iesigned to prove the stability, .endurance, maximum and minimum - speeds, actual delivered horsepower su periority In terms of hill climbing and high and low speeds, accelera tion; efficiency and economy of motor operation; and safety, such as braking ability, and turning comers at high speeds, the chal lenge la a clarion call for action. The Purant Motor Company of California Is making an offer for competition between the Star car and any car of Its class, and of fers to post a five hundred dollar cash forfeit, provided that hs op ponents does likewise, and the winner of any contest coming from the challenge to donate the money to a public charity, and be aceisamed publicly. The action ia a direct outcome of sensational performances that Star cars have made in all centers on the Pacific Coast, eonquering the most famous western hills and proving other points of superiority as well. The challenge takes In every car In the Star so-called "class." The only stipulation Is that the cars In the contest be strictly stock 1?6 models. In rulns; tha chal lenge, Norman DeVaux, vice--pre-sldenS and general manager of the lhirant California Company. said that "there is a possibility we may he wrong, but recent tests have co evinced us that It will take a really wonderful piece of mech anism to beat or equal records that the 19;s Star cars have ret up m recent performances. W want this challenge to be considered seriously. It la more than just Idle talk, and is. In fact, the first real challenge" of Its kind that has come from an automobile manufacturer la a long. long, time. "It is an admirable opportunity some points of snvrlrlty tbrtt th average automobile bnyer and ow ner Is ertouy interested In. We are perfectly willing to enter an open contest on these points, which cover practically tho entire operation of an automobile."
