Wear proot has been jer.fected by
Olds Motor Works in cooperation
with the General Motors Corpora
tion, and now is being nsed on all
OldsTTobile Six automobiles. This
new plating is consicereff the most
forward step in enhancing the ap

the life of its beauty since the de
velopment Of Puco finish, which
also was pioneered by General
Motors. . . r X',-
t , i Chromium, one of the hardest
metals known, is nsed instead, of
nickel for .plating such parts , of
Oldsmobiles as Tadlator shells and
caps, : bumpers, gear shift ; leYers,
ctankhole caps. Instrument board
fittings, etc. It coats these parts
with . a metal eorering approxi-
r mately as hard as a sapphire and
one that has high resistance pow
ers against any kind of rust or coi
rtfsion. i v -' .'
"TProm the automobile owner's
viewpoint, the .outstanding advan-
tftses of chromium over nickel
jS&Ung are it durability; non-
' corrosire qualities; its brighter
lister.' aud ' the J act that it ever
requires polishing." ' The only care
required during the life, of a car
' fas an occasional washing to re
more dust or mud. - ;
-The idea of plating with chrom-lunvU-not

method has been developed I that
would lend Itself to industrial ap
plication. In ; fact its status was
more theoretical than practical un

Corporation. He was assisted by
experts of the General Motors Re
search 'Laboratories and the Olds-

Oldsmobile metallurgical labora
tory and plating department. ,
The, Initial steps of chromium
plating follow : the identical pro
cess used In nickel plating. .The
part to' be plated; is taken as It

and polished on emerywheels to
give it as smooth, a surface as pos-

high electrical amperage is used
to give a smooth, close grain to the

Studebaaer -Sheriff- car nurses zastest time ever attained by man in
overland travel between Los Angeles and Salt. Lake City,
' Leaving 'the' swtftest railroad
train far behind and establishing
the fastest overland travel record
ever accomplished ; ; between I Los
Angeles and Salt Lake City, a
Studebaker "Sheriff automobile
recently made the upgrades from
the Pacific to the Utah plateau in
16 hours, 17 minutes.
Only the air mail planes which
know no hills, no turns no mud
dy roads, have beaten that time.
Abb Jenkins of Salt Lake estab
lished the record, which Is 8 hours
20 minutes faster than the; pre
vious record and 3 hours, 4 5 'min
utes faster" than ever traveled be
tween the to W towns by car on the
reverse trip, which has the'advan-
ftage of being from ' the plateau
down to sea level. KThe new ' time
is also hours, 9 minutes faster
than the 'seed lest railroadl sched
ule., ' - ' ' ' . :i .' , " ' ' i '
The,, car had gone only 1,000
miles before the 765-mile run. Its
average speed,' elapsed time in

No additional water and less than
ing tank, the : usual procedure la
to buff the part: being plated, but

this step is eliminated - in the
is given a coating of nickel, plat
ing, which forms a white back
ground ' and base- for the f final
chromium coat. ; It is then buffed
and again washed, ; and now is
ready for th9 chromium plating.
The tank usee, fur chromium
plating, the solution, electrical
developed by Oldsmobile and Genr
anodes and process used;were. all
eral Motors experts, and it. is
these points that make the new
plating method possible. . .
After the part is taken from the
chromium bath, all that is done to
it Is to rinse it in cold water. No
final buffing or ' polishing; is re
quired; in fact, the " chromium
plate is so hard thai a buffing
wheel; would have no effect on 4t.

.One ot the tefcts chromium plat
ing was subjected to before adop
ted by Oldsmobile was, to place it
under a' salt spray formed by; in
jecting a 20 per cent solution of
a quart of oil were required on the
journey. . Gasoline consumption
was 14 miles to the gallon.

shows a heavy rainstorm near San
Bernardino; more rain near Bar

two bad road sections; considera

ing; more rain in a series of min
iature cloudbursts between Las
Vegas and St. George. From Los
Angeles to Cedar City, Utah, the
car rose from sea level to an alti
tude of 6220 feet.
Mr. Jenkins turned. the Western
Union time sheet confirming his
time over from. A! de Garmo; air
pilot, who was making his initial
trip ; over " a new route running
from -Salt Lake City to Los An
geles. Sd : it happened that this
Western Union time clip made the
fastest lime ever attained between
Los . Angeles,' Salt Lake City and
back to Los Angeles, a total of 23
hours 17 minutes. This, pleased
de Garmo, for he also is a Stude-

: Absolute Accuracy ' ,
Add diamonds to the lLt of ma
terials used ' In the manufacture
of automobiles.
Such a list has frequently, been
compiled by those seeking to show
how great an Influence the motor
car. has on other Industries, from
steel and rubber, gasoline and oil,
down to scores of other commodi
ties.. ,Now diamonds must be in
cluded, for the Paige-Detroit Mo-:
tor Car company has found them
invaluable in machine operations
en connecting rods to insure fin
ishing within the close limits re
quired for perfect operation in the
engines.
In the final reaming of the
bronze bushings in the-small end
of the connecting rods, it is ne
cessary to prevent the least vibra
tion in diameter, for these bush
ings, which surround the wrist
pins, are vital elements in the en
gine. They carry the varying
loads Imposed through the piston
pins during the power, exhaust,
intake, and compressions trokes.
Not only must they fit perfectly,
but their bores must be absolutely
true In order that the piston may
operate freely. .
With the diamond reamer now
nsed by Paige, bushing - after
bushing is turned out without the
least variation. Other cutting ma
te rials cannot give the same re-
common salt under pressure into
$ cabinet containing the plated
part. Under this test nickel, plat
Ing usually resists corrosion only
from 10 to 20 hours. Chromium
plating, however, was kept in the
salt bath from 40 to 120 hours
before any signs of corrosion -de
veloped.
