IT HAS NEW TYPE OF SPRINGS
Three-Point Suspension Pesljrn Intro
duced For First Time. Big
Car Comfort Claimed
Overland 4, the new car of light
weight construction tor which the
public has been waiting since its in
troduction was first rumored at the
automobile shows about two years
go, was placed on exhibition in this
city recently.
The company's dealers from Maine
to California and from Oregon to
Florida, now have on display one or
snore of the new models described as
"the greatest improvement in riding
comfort since the introduction of
pneumatic tires."
This improvement is the use of
three-point suspension springs. Un
ssually graceful In body design, Ov-
v 1 '
SAT"-' .w.vfi
erland 4 makes a splendid impres
sion on the visitor. It was this new
spring suspension, however, which
absorbed motorist attention at the
salesrooms. It is a combination of
two principles that have been used to
greatest advantage in automobile con
struction: First, that of cantilever
lprings;" second, the flexible three
joint construction.
The luxurious riding comfort these
springs liirntsh the car was immedi
ttely understood and appreciated. It
is this feature which gives to the new
Overland car, designed for light
weight, that degree of riding comfort
and security hitherto possible only
In high-priced, heavier cars.
But this is only one of many feat
ares in Overland 4, which back the
.Willys-Overland claim to supcess in
giving the public "a new standard of
riding comfort."
The actual creation of Overland 4
began more than two years ago. The
last two years have been devoted to
testing and perfecting each part of
the car. Back of this development
st and 8 ten years of successful manu
facturing and engineering experience
Jn giving the public good motor cars.
For the immediate development and
production of Overland 4, John N.
Willys has concentrated the vast re
sources of the Willys-Overland Com
pany. Production will be on a scale
which will insure the greatest econo
mies in manufacturing.
Guiding the development of this re
markable new car was Mr. Willys'
Weal of a motor car which would

weight all the comfortable riding
qualities and the stamina of the
heavy and expensive automobiles. He
proposed a car of built-in quality
which would free the owner from all
possible upkeep expenses. This was
not possible, the company claims, un
til the Wlllys-Overlaud Company de
vised this interesting three-point sus
pension of spring, a spring seating
radically different from the conven
tional design of four springs paral
leling the chassis frame. New as this
spring suspension is, it is interest
ing to note that the design has been
approved by the Society of Automo
tive Engineer.
Before the final adoption of the
new springs, special breaking and
bumping machines were rigged up at
the factory and the cars, after that
supposedly destructive teat, were sent
out on trial trips which carried them
into every section of the country in
all sorts of weather conditions. The
cars were driven over the Rocky
mountains, through the desert roads
and boulder stretches of the south
west, over the sage brush and sand of
Texas and through the mud and clay
of the Missouri valley. A two years'
test, covering 250,000 miles of travel
The car satisfied the company's engi
neers that it was right. The war per
iod which held up production was de
voted to an evhaustlve perfection of
car details, refining the quality and
economic features.
Without emphasizing such features
as an unusually attractive eppear
ance, the all-steel body with an oven-
V
baked enamel finish and other inter
esting details, it may be said that
motoring interest centers in four new
and distinctive features of Overland
4. These features, each worth the
motorist's study, are:
First, of course, the three-point
cantilever spring suspension. The
springs on Overland 4 extend fifteen
inches from a point on the chassis
beyond the axles at front and rear,
giving a wide diagonal shape to the
springs. The car has thus an actual
springbase of 130 inches, although
car wheelbase itself is 100 inches.
Each spring flexibly responds to its
task of keeping the body and passen
gers riding on a constantly even keel.
Bobbing sidesway, and lurching are
materially lessened. The result is a
roomy, easy-riding car on a new type
of springs so designed as to absorb
road shocks fr6m the worst pave
ments or roads. The Willys-Overland
engineers make the unusual claim of
having produced a car that rides well
on any. road.
Second, economy. The new springs
si protect the car from road shock as
to make possible much lighter weight
and hence a great saving in fuel and
tires. Furthermore, the car is so
simple and accessable that costs of
upkeep and repairs must be greatly
reduced. Yet the car's parts have a
protected accessibility a big factor
in upkeep. The car is assembled from
five units only. The chassis is clear
of all involved mechanism. The en
tire assembly requires only 50 bolts.
The engine is a remarkably high
grade, thoroughly up-to-the-minute
j eminent secunucu, but U.ue invtsl
! merits led to additional lavings, con-
solidated the habit of thrift and In
creased bank deposits throughout the
entire nation. These 27,000,000 depos
itors now own $10,578,971,000 of sav
ings. ,TMs is the money which has built
up the railroads, municipalities homes
and Industries of the nation. These
savings represent over twenty-Bix per
cent of the total resources. Tness
savers financed the war successfully,
and on their continuation of the pro
duction of new capital through sav
ings rests the solution for financing
reconstruction and for the increase
of production necessa:y to check the
high cost of living, bankers agreed.
The government savings securities
and Liberty Bonds offer ideal means
for the production of 'his new capital
in the opinion of progressive bankers.
They are adapted for Investment of
all sums no matter how great or smaH.
They are the safest security possible.
They are profitable and readily con
vertible into cash should necessity
arise. Their purchase not, only aids
in financing the -j.-e. n.iieut, but re
power plant, compact and simple. The
neatneas and cleanness of design be
speak the ready accessibility to all
parts.
Third, quality. Specifications Indi
cate that the Overland 4 has been
built in esch part of the finest qual
ity steels and steel-alloys. The car's
parts have been machined within the
closost possible limits, permitting a
qunlity of construction equal to that
of a hand-made product. Inspection
starts at the steel mills where the
company has stationed expert metal
lurgists to test ever heat of steel,
and the Inspection ends only with the
owner's driving the cur away. The
stock reaching the factory is thus all
first grade through many Inspections.
This itself Is a new feature In auto
mobile construction. The body Is all
steol with an oven-baked enamel fin
ish. The construction is simple and
the balance of part to part is unus
ually fine. The car has beon design
ed light weight.
Fourth, bountiful and complete
equipment. In every detail from de
mountable rltns to Auto-Lite starter,
lights and horn, the equipment of
Overland 4 appears to have been
planned with a single view of com
fort, convenience and long service,
All seat cushions, which are detach
able, like those In a pullman. are up
holstered with the luxurious Mar-
fshall Divan springs. The windshield
Is slanting rain vision. The one-man
top, curtains and cushions are Dura
tex. The horn button Is In the center
of the steering wheel. The controls
are all mounted on a keyboard on the
cowl in Instant and handy reach.
All in all. Overland 4 impresses its
visitors as being a motor car value of
very distinctive comfort, economy,
and convenience. It will be marketed
In four body styles: A Sedan at $1,
S75: coupe at $1,35; touring car and
roadster at $S45, f. o. b. Toledo.
The motor of the Overland 4 Is cast
en bloc with a removable head. It has
generous valve opening.
The lubricating and oiling system
requires no pumps. The oil is circu
lated by pressure automatically Croat- ;
Thprmo-Syphon system or natural
cooling method. No power Is requir
ed of the motor to operate these sys-
l terns.
I The steering apparatus Is of the
planetary gear xype wun me gears
at the bottom of the steering column.
By this arrangement all the strain Is
taken at three points instead of at
one.
The clutch is of the single plate
type now used by 71 per cent of the
motor manufacturers The selective
gear transmission has three speeds
forward and reverse. It operates In i
oil. 1
The front axle Is of chrome nickel
steel which affords both light weight
and strength. The front wheels have
tapered roller hearings. The rear i
axle, also of chrome nickel steel. Is ,
three-quarter floating. The differen
tial and rear wheels operate on an
nular ball bearings. '
The car is equipped with two
brakes foot and hand. These work '
on 10-inch drums on each wheel and :
to assure safety are larger than nec-!
essity demands.
Upon the Instrument board, or the
"keyboard." rs it is called on the
Overland 4, Is centralized the hand
throttle, spark and choke control,
and the Ipnitlon and electric buttons,
together with the speedometer dial
and current indicator.
In addition to the hand throttle
there is a foot accelerator handily
placed. The clutch and brake pedals ;
; arp adjustable to reach,
i The wide, deep seats of the Over
land 4 supplement the three-Point
Suspension Springs and comfortably j
i accommodate five passengers. The
.cushions are equipped with Marshall
'divan springs. The upholstery all
throughout the car Is long grain Dur- I
' atex. All cushionst including the j
back and sides are "removable. The j
! one-man ton also is of Duratex. i
1 One of the chief aims of the build
ers has been to maintain the highest
standard of quality throughout the ;
j car in both the material and manu-j
I facture. This has been carried out :
i in the design and finish, the body de- j
j tails and the equipment.
The car has a streamline body ;
! which is entirely constructed of steel :
I with slanting windshield. The full- j
j crowned fenders ore of heavy sheet
steel. The running boards are cov-1
j ered with linoleum, aluminum bound,
j The body and chassis are finished In
1 hard baked enamel. The fittings are
nickel and polished aluminum.
The car Is equipped with an Auto
Lite two-unit starting and lighting
system, headlights with a dimmer,
dash and tail lights, a magnetic
speedometer, electric horn, spare tire
carrier, extra rim, complete set of i
tools, tire repair kit, Jack and pump.
The tires are mounted on demount
able rims.
