Valve Type Special
Type Bearing .
Many . distinctive mechanical
features Jbare been incorporated In
.the new 1924 Oakland Six. These
tend1 to f'gire '. better engine per
formance and more comfort to
passengers, according to officials
of the company.
The new I-head engine is of ex
actly the same bore and stroke as
the overhead Yalve type . previ
ously used by this company, but
develops! greatly, increased effi
ciency ahd' power with Improved
economy and -simplified construc
tion. Thai main bearings of the
engine are of a special patented
type, bronze . .backed and babbitt
lined. The process by which they
are manmfactured was invented
during' he war, at which time
this typerof bearing was used on
the Liberty aviation engines.
These bearings, are made with., ex
treme accuracy, being - held round
' and concentric within limits of
three ten-thousands of v an inch.
They require no hand scraping or
'burning Jn," which is necessary
with the ordinary type of bearing.
Other advantages claimed for
them ar&that they greatly reduce
friction, are better conductors of
heat and: are interchangeable, so
that the bearings in any one mo
tor are exact duplicates of those
in other Oakland motors of the
same type. They may also be re
placed at a Yery low cost within
a few hours time and without the
slightest'blt of scraping or hand
fitting..,:

Above the Third-street tunnel
at about where Hope street would
intersetc Third street in Los An
geles is a flight of some 115 steps
which are used by the residents
ot that locality In getting from the
road which passes over the tunnel
down to Third street. It is per
missible to walk from Third street
up the steps to the top of the hill,
but it is much easier on one's
breathing apparatus to go down.
Leon T. Shettler, southern Cal
ifornia distributor for the Ricken-
backer Six, wagered that he could
drive a four-wheel brake Ricken-
backer down these 115 steps with
out injuring the car, himself or
anyone who happened to be pass
ing the foot of the steps when he
got down to Third street.
To prove this was no false
boast, he loaded a cameraman into
the car along with the other end
of the bet and drove the car to the
top of the steps and as quickly as
the photographer could set up his
camera he started down the long
incline.
After Shettler had negotiated
about half the distance he brought
the car to a dead standstill, filled
his pipe and enjoyed a smoke
while the cameraman reloaded.
The balance of the journey to
the foot of the steps was accom
plished without any particular ex
citement, other than the fact that
Mr. Shettler stopped his Ricken
backer several times to show that
he had absolute control even on
so steep a grade.
"I knew that I could drive the
Rickenbacker down those steps
without any trouble whatsoever,
for the internal,, expanding, me
chanically! operated four-wheel
brakes with which the car is
equipped, have proven themselves
to be the greatest factor ot safety
ever built into , an automobile,'

that had gathered to watch this

the manufacturers , are able , to
make it. Nearly every mechanical
part has some sort of an indicator
to tell .whn it is getting the prop
er, treatment.
The radiator has s motometer to
warn of , overheating. t Ammeters
and oil gauges are located on the
instrument - board ' to warn ot ( in
sufficient generator . service or
poor lubrication. Automatic spark
advances protect the bendix of the
starting motor from a kick back
ot the engine, but there is no sure
way for the driver to tell it his
battery is overheated or not..
