Individual Responsibility Es

Impressing the individual mo

lives is the one dlreet and effec
tive method of reducing traffic fa-
tllitlea today.

aot be expected to realise and as-
Vtr sume t this vital responsibility so
""Vjong as automobile manufacturers
ttiresa nig a spoeaa u ib teuurv
of their products. In the opinion of
E. H. McCarty, rice president and
director of sales of the Nash Mo
tors company.
"It is true that improvement in
streets and highways and in the
mechanical operation of the new
est cars themselves is tending to
increase the margin of traffic
safety," he said today after study
ing the latest traffic fatality re
ports; "but It is also true, that
a mere is a general tendency toward
road and traffic arteries of our
big cities.
"Because of this tendency Jjjy
ward reckless driving I'anf Mart
ily in accord with the appeal made
by the National AutomobifJanY
ber of. Commerce1 agalnsf the
stressing of high speeds in auto
mobile advertising. It is only nat
ural that when the high speed of
his car is constantly brought to
an owner's attention and when
speed rivalry is made a public
jjioint of issue by various automo-
Jr bile makers the ordinary driver
pLS will enter into the spirit of the In-
and use this necessary .but
' J dangerous element on everjrjtpos-
l sible occasion. ' Safety experts
agree that speeding and its conse
quent reckless driving and disre
gard for the rights of others is
the major cause of automobile
deaths. Obviously so long as speed
Is encouraged and made an i&ue
among manufacturers those
deaths are going to mount, "
"Power and. flexibility are' aft
er all, the essentials of the modern
motor car.. Speed ranges are the
result rather than cause of I these
essentials. Because of the power
and flexibility built Into the pew
"400" series of Nash cars, for ex
ample, they have a proved ind
safe high speed range of from 70
to 80 miles an hour, depending on
the models. They are all capable
of much more speed than the or
dinary driver should use, and the
this element only in emergencies.
We certainly will not encourage
him to drive 80 miles an hour just
'Tecause that speed is built into his
i ear.
OF B CM Ull
High standards in traffic safe
ty and automobile operating con
trol have appeared' on streets and
' highways of the country as a re
suit of the recent introduction of
the" new ' Nash 400' series of
cars," according to report from ex
perts and . the owners who have
now had ample time to test the
unequalled steering qualities of
the new models.
Steering ease is one of the out
standing features of the new Nash
offering,,ftnd the system is an en
gineerings accomplishment which
has' centered the interest of auto
mobile experts the country over.
It has been attained by the use
of a new type steering mechanism
which affords the fastest and
. easiest manipulation ever known
in driving and in parking, and 'has
reduced the Nash turning radius
y 20 per -cent. ;
AFEIrSTOiD
j This exclusive Nash design Is
Qtjseneral. Interest. Briefly it in
eludes the following features;, i
At the ' lo'vfcr end of the steer
ing column, under the hood, is
the sector - or- worm gear. When
the steering wheel is turned, this
gear also turns. Upon the easy
action of this gear depends the
easy action of the steering wheeL
In the new. Nash mechanism this
gear Is mounted in either roller or
ball bearings.
The turn in g motion of the worm
gear must, be transformed into a
transverse action to move the
front wheels. This is done by
means of the tooth which travels
in the spiral groove of the worm
Here again la a possibility of
hard steering the friction be
tween tooth and gear. Nash
eliminates friction here by mak
ing the tooth a roller-tooth, which
routes with the gear at the same
time that it travels along the
worm In tha Standard Six a
-'slightly different mechanism the
"cam and lever type Is used.) It
Is also designed to eliminate fric
tion. -
In still another way Nash elim
inates effort, The front end of
the car must - rest on steering
knuckles. At these points Nash

CAR IN THREE DAYS
From . bare frame to finished
motor ear la owner's hands In
three days might be the title of
this piece. It Is another story with
a new angle on the high speed
methods popularised by the "auto
mobile. The principal character In the
story Is the Oakland Motor Car
company with several railroads
and steamship lines Interwoven In
to the theme.
The story begins on a recent
Tuesday when the Pontlac division
of the Oakland company 'had on
hand scarcely enough car frames:
for a full day's output. Charles O.
Miller, supervisor of purchases,
got in touch with the suppliers,
the A. O. Smith company, of Mil
waukee. They had the frames in '
stock. "R. L. Reese, Oakland traf
fic director, got busy ' with the
railroads. They promised every j
aid. .
On Tuesday morning the frames
were loaded at Milwaukee on a
Chicago. Milwaukee, St. Paul and
Padfieraln, The- Grand Trunk
ferry brought them to Grand Ha
ven,. Mich:, where the Grand'
Trunk lines held up a crack train
more than two hours to get the
shipment to Pontlac, Michigan
with all possible dispatch.
The frames arrived at the Pon
tlac factory on Wednesday morn
ing, were immediately unloaded
and started at one end of the as
sembly llnes where, In an hour,
they rolled off at the other and
