' , The crankshaft diameter has been
increased somewhat and now trans

of thermo coupling, which la placed
'.'between the motor and gearaet. On the
' electrio system the new Remy thermo

Throughout the chassis no changes
of Importance will be noted. Here and
there little details have been altered,
such as on the rear axle more forglngs
are uaed, particularly at the spring
hangera. The Ravfleld carburetor has
been adopted.
Oa the four the body has been un
changed and the chassis has not been
' altered materially. The power plant

fins on the exhaust pipe to pre-heat

and the gas passages axe cored within

Heretofore, the carburetor was on
the left. Similar to the Four, Wagner
starting and lighting is now used on
the Six. There is also a change in the
Ignition, the Remy distributor being
uaed in place of the former ignition
system, with the drive taken vertically
off the camshaft at the center of the
engine at the right side. To Increase
the life of the valve springs they are
now made of chrome-vanadium steel,
which greatly Increases their resist
ance against fatigue. Another ohassls
change on the Six is the Increase of
the' brake drum sise from 11 to IS
Inches. A point of interest on the
Saxon Is that It is one of the few cars
using patent rings on the piston's aa
stock, each piston being fitted with a
Burd high compression ring at the top,
below which there are two ooncentrlc
rings. i

SCRIPPS-BOOTH ATTRACTIVE
SAXON FOUR AND SIX BETTER
Certain Alterations' Noted That
Make for Improvement.'
The Saxon Four la shown this year
with certain exterior alterations and
: there have been a number of changes
mechanically which are significant. In
(the Six the most important alteration
lis the increase of the crankshaft to a
.""diameter of two Inches. Another im
portant change in the Six is the shlft
f lng of the carburetor from the left, or
.valve side, to the right side, where it
attaches directly to the cylinder block.
Improvements Make for Beauty and
Accessibility.
Unusually attractive body lines char
acterizes the Scripps-Booth, which Is
noted for Its easy riding qualities and
fine appointment. The four-cylinder
runabout is unchanged in line, being
identical with the original car of this
model brought out two years ago. The
eight-cylinder follows the same style
of design, but Is naturally somewhat
different because it carries a four-pas
senger body with divided front seat.
In the eight the windshield Is slightly
tilted.
One of the features of both four and
eight-cylinder motors Is the easy ad
justment of the inclosed overhead
valves, this being accomplished by
turning a nut protruding through the
top of the cover plate after the oil cap
has been removed. Consequently, the
valve may be adjusted while the motor
is running.
Accessibility is a feature of both
eight and four. The latter has the car
buretor mounted high where it is read
ily reached. The only other unit on
this side of the motor Is the starter
and it Is easy to Inspect or remove it.
On the other side of the motor is the
distributor and coil at the front and
generator further back. It is easy to
inspect, adjust or remove any pf these
units. To scrape out carbon it is sim
ply necessary to take off the cylinder
bead. Removing carbon from the eight
Is a simple matter because the heads

from the dealers' standpoint, in that
they have many additional points
which mar be regarded as strong sell
ing features. Mechanically the cars
are about the same.
From an exterior standpoint the
most striking feature is the use of a
gun-metal finish, which calls for 25

Putting the seat in place is the work
of a moment.
, The body has been improved in sev
eral small particulars. Pads are now
used on the doors. Upholstery is semi
glazed, straight-grain, genuine leather,
with curled hair, and the tonneau car
pet is woven and bound with leather.
The top is silk mohair with leather
edging, and a new Tale switch lock of
the pin tumbler type has been added
to guard against theft.
The headlamp mounting has been
Improved both in . appearance and
strength. The lamps are now held by
brackets, which are riveted to the fen
ders, and the wiring comes up througn
the center of the bracket. They are
mounted on ball and socket joints and
are adjustable, so that ths point at
which the "light strikes the road may
be changed. '
Mechanically the improvements are
very slight. Probably the most im
