MARIN COM M MH3HI E From Available Figures Group Leads In Making Straight Eights U.S. A. P mm PLACE FOR HUPPS Engineer Tells of Practical Tests Given New Cars On Mountains ; Where are the best automobile proving grounds in the United Statesf Frank E. Watts, chief engineer of the Hupp Motor Cai Corporation, gives a reply which is at once epigrammatic and prac tical. "The best automobile proving grouds in the United States," he ays, "are all over the Lnited States." The remark illustrates the method by which Hupp cars are tested for performance and dura bility before they are permitted to go Into the hands of buyers. "Wherever and whenever we flail unusual conditions, especially In concentrated forms," the Hupp chief engineer explained, "we take advantage of the facilities which Nature has provided and man can not duplicate even at very great expensed' Hills can be built, Mr. Watts went on to observe. So can race tracks. But you can't manufac ture unusual climate, wide atmos pheric variations, high altitude and real mountains. When Hupp deslrea to make sure of the stam ina of new cars or new car feat ures, it subjects them to the ac tual conditions they will have to face in owners' use. . , "Proving new cars, as we do It, Is a rather expensive but decided ly worth while practice," said Mr. ; Watts. "We send teat cars thous ands. In fact hundreds of thous ands of milea to subject them to the experience that subsequent owners will meet in their use ot a "car. ; When we were developing our Century cara and wanted to know what they would do in extremely cold climates, we aent some to Minnesota in the dead of winter, when the thermometer was suc cessfully flirting with 40 below temperatures. Thus we could test them in actual and severe winter conditions and were able to check the cold weather efficiency of va rlous starting and lubricating sys teuns beyond all question. "Other cars went in midsummer to Phoenix, Arizona, when It was 120 in the shade and no shade. Cooling systems can receive a test there never possible anywhere else. Upholstery and paint prove theirun resisting qualities in Ar izona; and oil and air cleaners are (tried to capacity with alkali dust, which is extremely destructive to engines. In fact, general hot weather performance can be ac curately determined in the Ari zona test. "To find out what a car will do in high altitudes we take it to Colorado and Utah and when It has climbed over the Rockies for a few months we know all about ita axle gearing and Ita power and hill climbing abilities all about the effect of high altitude on car buretors and cooling. But high altitude conditions don't exist in Michigan and can't be reproduced there. "To test the 'mud hog' ability of a car we choose Kentucky, Ten nessee Or Missouri, each of which can boast a special brand of mud unexcelled for etickineae and gen eral contrariness. Here we ride for milea, running boards drag ging through mud, carrying, in addition to a fall load of passen gers and luggage six hundred pounds or more ot juat plain mad. Then we know what road clear ance and engine power mean. "We send cars south and stop off for a moment at the famous Uniontown hill but not for long for there are hills in the Carolina even more difficult. We try them out and pass on to get the effect of sea level altitudes on carbur etors and other features that must suit both low and high altitudes The salt alr'e effect on perform ance and car finish are incidental revelations which are carefully noted. "Before wo ever show the pub lic any of our new models, we know juat what they will do in the hands of their owners. We don't have to use slide rules and add ing machines to figure out from theoretical data what their hill climbing abilities are or what ef fect altitudes or temperature vari ations will have. The cars have already shown us. They have passed the acid test of actual road performance on the precise kind of roads and in the precise condi tions where owners will use them."

March shipments of the Mar mon '6S" and "78" exceeded the previous high record established in February of this year by slight ly more than 20 per cent. A sim ilar increase was recorded in ex port shipments which were 19 per per cent greater than last May, the per cnt gratr than last May, the largest month in 1927. From all figures available it ap pears that the company so far this year has manufactured a greater number of straight-eight automo biles than any other company in the Industry. In the first quarter of 1928 the company more than doubled its business over the same period last year and has a produc tion schedule for the remaining nine months that shows an even larger increase over 1927. Included in the record March were four solid trainloads of auto mobiles, one to Montreal, Canada, which was the first trainl6ad ever to be shipped by Marmon outside the boundaries of the United States. Two trainloads were ship ped ' to the eastern seaboard and one to the Pacific coast. The Bos ton automobile show, during which Marmon sold more cars than ever NOW MIU Special System Now Exclu sive Development and Very Efficient combination of pump, splash and gravity feed which is an exclusive Ford development. In design and in operation it is simple and positive and repeated tests have shown it to be ideally suited to this somewhat revolu tionary type of four-cylinder, medium-speed, medium-compression motor. The oil pump is located in the bottom of the crank-case and is run off a gear on the camshaft. It is enclosed in a fine mesh wire screen through which the oil filt ers before it is pumped up into the valve chamber. The screen is surrounded by a shield so that the oil is pulled through it, rather than flowing in by gravity. The oil flows into the valve chamber in a continuous stream whenever the engine is running, but is in no sense a "forced" feed. It is rath-1 er the full load of the pump being delivered in a smooth, flowing stream. The principal purpose of delivering the oil to the valve chamber is to provide direct grav ity feed lubrication to the bear ings of the crankshaft. However it also supplies exceptional lubri cation for the valves, giving bet ter and quieter action, - and by gravity to the front and cam-shaft bearing. Small pipe openings lead down from the valve chamber to the crankshaft main bearings and oil flowing down these by gravity pro vides an abundance of lubrication The bottom of the valve chamber is so arranged, through the use of small, inbuilt dams to provide res ervoirs of oil for each main bear ing pipe opening. As the engine rests in the chas sis on a three-degree angle, slop ing to the rear, the oil arriving in the valve chamber flows back, filling the first reservoir; then over the little dam, filling the sec ond reservoir, and then over again to the third and last reservoir. From this point the overflow oil Is carried by . an external pipe down to the front end of the oil pan In the crankcase where it flows back over the pan, filling the troughs through which the connecting rods are lubricated and .

From the pan the oil flows to the bottom --of the case to bo pumped back again. This rather unique system of engine lubrication is responsible in large measure for the excellent performance of the motor at a wide range of speeds and under all climatic conditions.
