PLATING
The OhlAorooLile cars now Wins

plating of a sort sv-tdont used, i
Hfavy nickel piatlns. of a ani
formily of thjekaeas never before
achieved. Is being used on all

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

Good Record Hung Up In
Truck Sales During

Chevrolet In second position lor
There were nearly ;.( Chev

included both the commercial

The utility express has the reg

that while the company has al

was extremely difficult to give the
cars the attention they required.
Two years ago the W. H. Bona

greater majority of automobile
owners today, with the issuance of
a challenge hy Duranl Motor

The challenge has been sound

to prove the stability, .endurance,
maximum and minimum - speeds,

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

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

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

and general manager of the

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

W want this challenge to be
considered seriously. It la more
than just Idle talk, and is. In fact,

that has come from an automobile

"It is an admirable opportunity
