AKRON IS CENTER
OF TIRE INDUSTRY
New Cross-Flow
Radiator Feature
Of New Pontiac
Tho On k In n d M ot or fa r com -pany,
continuing its pionecrinrr ac
tivities which lirouht Duco. four
wheel brakes, ttie fuel pump and
many other major developments to
the motorist, has scored asain
'throiiKh Its Introduction of en en
tirely new principle of heat radiation.
The "cross-flow" radiator, one
of the features, of the 4iew series
; Pontine Hix htis attracted n larpre
istmro of attention anions' the crit
i teat new "Htut'l"' entlnislnsts who
I have;- thronped the nutomohtie
shown and the Oakland-l'ontluc.
'show rooms sineo the latest Pou-
tiea was first shown on .Tan. B
j l-'hiws llotivX)ntalIy
; Flowing- ' horizontally through
i 384 Inches of radiator core cnol
; ins suilince, jnslend of vertically,
tills radiator takes advantages of
Mho principle of condensation, It
lias 40 sriuare inches more radiat
i tnjf surfneo than the old radintor
and. contains '12 quarts. H lias
two side tanks, connected hy a
core with horizontal water pas
sages and a top tank. AVater from
the engine enters the inlet tank
and flows cross-ways through tho
.corn into tho coll water tank on
, the otfier side. It is then return
ed to the engine. The coot water
tank extends up the side ami
across tho top where tho filling
cap Is located.
Vhlle massing . croRs-wise
through the core, any water or
janti-freezo mixture which may
I have become vaporized in tho oq
jglno is cooled and condensed hc
: foro it, reaches the vent. This is
an improvement over tho vertical
type, w.here much water is lost be
causo C this vapor csenpini?
! through .:tlieVovort'tov pipe. Jn
cold wca tlier, when alcohol or
j anil-freeze mixtures are used, it is
'particularly effective, dm to the
j fact thatMheso mixtures vaporize
at much ' lower temperature than
water, t ' "
Another Improvement . f
1 The rugged core on this radiator
is another improvement, the core
j being supported on three' sides by
tanks instead of only on. two.
Copper is used in the construc
tion ofNthiH radiator, itlstead of
brass, marking nnother departure
In construction. Circulation is
handled through a completely re
designed water pump which is
similar to that on tho Oakland
All-American Hlx. Knd thrust is
greatly reduced through a bal
anced impeller. Tho fan ts a 15
inch two-blade type, turns on
bronze bearings and is driven by
a belt. The cooling system is
thermostat ica I ly controlled.
One Firm Manufactures
as Many as 45,000 Tires -Every
24 Hours '
The rubber manufacturing Indus
try, renowned for Ms all around
ofrielency, is centered In Akron, O.,
which produces npproximateJy iu
per cent of the tires made la the
I'niled States, according to the Per
kins Motor company, local dealer.
Here, n Mingle firm, tho Firestone
Tiro& ltuhher Co.. tnunufurtnres
as many as 4;,0Uu tires a day, to
fay nothing of a n even grea tr
number of Inner tubes, and vut
quant ilies of tire accessories.
Willi floor space of more than
70 tier os in its Akron plants nlone,
tho Firestone company operates In
conjunction with ttie largest tire
rim factory in the world. Fire
stone also has an Immense plant
exclusively devoted lo the manu
facture of tires for light cars, and
its shops for the production of ma
chinery and general mechanical
equipment occupies an 'immense
building.
Kvcrywhere at Firestone one
meets with labor saving devices;
wilt safety methods assuring the
best wotking conditions, and with
cleanliness and orderly: arrange
ment which are -models for tiny In
dustry. Firestone's leadership in economy
and efficiency of production Is due
in a lu rge nn-asu re to t he com
pany's well-known suggestion sys
tem. Fnder this plan, every em
ploye Is Invited to submit .his or
her Ideas looking to. improvement
In every phase of the business.
Special suggestion blanks ure pro
vided and lock boxes placed In tlm
factories, facilitating nnd safi
giiurdlng the employe's Idea. , The
suggestion Is then passed upon' by
a board largely composed of men
in the rank a. Those ideas thought
worthy of adoption, or recognition,
aro generously awarded, It bt not
unusual for a prinr as large us &uo
to b& given. - . t
Firestone employes are also en
couraged to practice economy and
thrift. The firm established a hapk
some years ago, which Is now one
nf the largest institutions of Iho
kind in Akron. All employes arc
common stockhotdorst regular pay
ments ton their shares serving as a
model savings system.
' A library, swimming pool, club
house with restaurants nnd athle

tivities provided for employes, A
large suburban section known as
Firestone Park ts occupied 'by
model homes sold to employes on

I Inspection Of
l op material!
Car Important
- With winter wenihor nt hand, Vic
car owner should be certain thut
the top material on his nutomobi!
is in good condition.
The summer sun rapidly dries
out t he ., ruhhcrlxed fabric and a
close examination will often roveaJ
many small checks tn'the material.
These checks allow dust and mois
ture to enter and ir they nre nor
sealed moisture and dirt will seep
in nnd rot the fabric, resulting in
a ruined top.
In many instances where tho top
Is too . far gone to warrant any
great expenditure for repairs,, the
owner may recover tt himself by
using one of the ready-made tail
ored covers. These slip on over
the old frame. and are cut to fit.

January Sales
Of Studebakers
: Set New Record
- SOl'Tir MKNO, Ind., Veb. lit-
Actual retail deliveries of Stude
baker and Ftskise cars during Ja'i
miry were the largest In Htiitlebaker
history, and , 6S per cent greater
than for January, 1027, according
to a stnlement Issued today hy A.
It. Frsklne, president of the4tude
baker corporation.
The figures are based on retail 1
dol!verion-to customers as reportetlj
iiy-jstuiiohnuor dealers tnrougnoui
the. connlr every 10 duys. Oellv
orics for the first two 10-day pe
riods of the month allowed an In
crease of fil por cent over the same
period last year. The Inst 10-tWiy
period registered an increase of 70.1
pcj cent over the corresponding
period of 11127, thereby Indicating a
steady upward trend In Studebakor
business. That tho January gain
In sales Is nalinn-wlde Ik indicat
ed by the fact that i'i out of ill
Sludehaket' , branch territories In
the I'lilted States contributed to
the increase.
According to Rtudebaker, the
sales increases are due to the introduction-
of the ' new . President
eight and the now, American edi
tion of the Krsktne sl?y-; and ' to
spectacular f wits' of - performance
scored by the.Cpiiimander and.lMc
tator models' toward the. close of
1U27. , As a result of more than- art
official "records"wonby the prod
ucts of this concern, Hludehaker
now holds nil tho highest endur
nneo and spm! rrcords for fully
equipped stock' cars, regardless of
power or. price. v a
