Felt, Rubber and Fabric
Used Extensively In
Chassis and Body
FORDS AS GUESTS OF THE EDISONS
No builder of the finest custom

devise more effectire means to
eliminate all likelihood of squeaks

Dodge Brothers engineers in de
signing and developing the new
Victory Six, declares Ernest Bone
steele of the Bonesteele Motor
company, local dealer.
"The panels of the double wall
steel body." Mr. Bonesteele ex
plains, "are lined with thick felt)
pads to insure against any possi
bility of drumming or of sounding
board effect when the car travels
over uneven pavements. Beneath
the rear floor carpet, securely ce
mented to the floor, la a heavy pad
of sound-proofing material and on
the under side of the rubber mat
of the driver's compartment is a
similar pad. The body engineers
state that over 85 per cent of the
. entire outside surface of the body
exclusive of the window openings
is lined with sound-proofing felt.
"This felt Is effective not only in
sound-proofing the body but also
"as heat insulation, making the car
warmer in winter and cooler ii
summer.
"The polished plate glass win

the top. bottom and sides of the
doors are maintained within very
close limits. The adjustable rub
ber stops against which the doors
strike when closed are of liberal
dimensions. The 'dove talis'
which serve as guides when the
doors are closed are padded with
cushions of live rubber armored
with metal to protect against wear.
There is no tiny sound when a
Victory door is slammed.
"A careful examination of the
car discloses jhe beaded edge of

between the front and rear fenders
and the frame, between the rear
fenders and the body and between
the body and the vertical surface
of the side members of the frame,
The body itself rests at the front
on heavy fabric strips and at the
rear on quarter inch thick strips
of heavy felt. Although the body
and the chassis frame when fast

bolts act as a single unit the body
can be removed if necessary a?
easily as any other type of body.
