US AUTOMAT G SP I HELPS COIHOL Tendency Is--Toward More , Simplicity jn.Operatiorv of Car, Automatic Simple The tendency to make the operr ation of motor cars more simple and more 'efficient has been one of the results of the keen compe- 924 Oakland Three tition in the automotive industry. Probably one of the outstand ing developments hasssbeen the au tomatic spark ontrol, which has already been, adopted by a num ber of the- most progressive car manufacturing companies. "Scientific manufacturing and production practices, .combined with the early realization - that large production would be requir ed, to meet the demand, result in Maxwell's being able to price this. to r v - t s ' w WTOM 227-231 North gh Street I .Trail 'Em . In the first automobile produced the spark was fixed. Later it was operated on a quadrant by the dri ver, which Is the general practice today, but this method, requires a knowledge of timing which it is doubtful If even -the best drivers possess. .. ' . ' . . "It stands jto reason," .explains Benjamin Jones, chief . engineer of the . Oakland Motor, Car company, "that . a driver cannot operate the timing of the spark, with the same precision that an automatic. device can. -As a result we have develop ed a distributor, to care .for the ignition at the proper 'time under all driving, conditions. : "The, automatic spark control Passenger Roadster)' gets the most out ot the. car., be cause the spark is timed .accur ately.
