of these material and costly im

line of Standard and Master Sixes.
The announcement and the
'showing or the better Hoicks sil
enced the rumors that Huick
would abandon the valve-in-head
for another type engine which
would permit of cheaper construc
tion. The same principalcs that
were inaiigraled by Huiclc 21
years ago and which have made It
I he leader in t he industry have
been adhered to throughout.
The incchiinical improvements
introduced would have been con
sidered Impossibilities only a year
ago. They p present the work of
Huick research aiid engineering
staffs constantly striving for bet
terments. The new prices like wis repre
sent achievements of the engineer

partments of the Huick organiza

due to the phenomenal approval of
Huicks by the public. This latter
factor lias resulted in continuously
increasing sales with the attendant
possibilities of economics In pur
chasing and production.
The complete line Includes 16
models, six in the Standard Six and
ten in the Muster Six clubs. In all
cases the distinctive Huiclc lines
have been continued, with refine

Huick has always been noted for
it ft Heated chassis, which prevents
dirt or water entering any of the
moving parts. Now it has added an
air cleaner, oil filter and gasoline
strainer.. These, combined with the
standard Huick construction, prac
tlcully eliminate the possibility of
any foreign substance entering the
engine or moving parts of tho
chassis and. consequently, mini

MAKING ROLLER
BEARINGS ONE OF
FORD PROCESSES
Tranvformlng steel ribbon Into
roller bearings Is one of the. In
teresting operations carried out
in one department at the Highland
I'ark plant of the Ford Motor
Company in which a number of
special Kurd designed machines
pluy an important part.
Just how much activity there Is
In this department may be gained
from the Tact that J J5 miles of
steel ribbon is used daily In the
production of roller bearings at
tho present output schedule, per
mitting the asembly of 61,000
complete bearings every day.
The steel ribbon used Is five
thirty-seconds of an inch thick
and about an Inch wide. It is
wound in l'ord designed and built
machines known as "winders" and
when It emerges from these mach
ines Is in the form of a heavy
spiral rod with a narrow opening
through the center. The rods art
cut into proper lengths lor tin
rollers, and the short lengths art
then hardened and tempered.
Grinding operations in which
the. rollers are ground to very
close limits ure carried on In other
1-ord designed machines, know n
as "centerless" grinders in which
the precision necssdry iu the- rol
lers Is easily regulated.
The last operation before the
rollers are finally assembled und
welded in the cages Is one thro
ugh which every finished bear.
Ing must puss the process. ol
of being demagnetized. Tract,
ically every bearing o.lier having
passed through the various manu
facturing operation carries u
certain amount of magnetism. It
this remained the rollers would
ha e a tendency to pick up und
retain small pieces of sleet that1
might by chance get into the sle
eve of the beuring. It Is not like
ly, of course, tttat any harm
would result iti'ti If this magne
tism were not destroyed, but the
policy followed is another bit ot

ownership of motor vehicles, de
clares Secretary of Htute Koxer.
The law went Into effect July

than 30 days within which to

sically Impossible to provide the
necessary machinery and facilities
within the limited time, but It is
