Motor Test Deiere
The Monte Carlo Rally Is recog
nized as one of the world's se
verst antomoblle competitions.
Contestants start from the capitals
ot their respective countries, tim
ing themselves' to1 arrire' at-.Monte
Carlo on the Mediterranean at ap
proximate! the same hoar. They
ntujl maintaln in,' average fwj the
entiijs dlBtancfej as close "t 25
miles an hour as possible.
After their arrival at Monte
Carlo, the machines are required
to drive a difficult mountainous
course maintaining an average of
20 miles per hoar. Besides this,
are hill-climbing and com
fort competitions. Points aye fig
ured on performance, eorerlng
lngth of trip, hourly arerage and
cumber of passengers and the
final classification Is based 'on
points.
Trials En Route Many
Dr. Van Eljck's experiences ex
plain why so many of the compet
itors fell by the wayside. He start
ed from Stockholm with his secre
tary, a mechanic, and a chauffeur,
although warned that; snow had
rendered the" pajji Impracticable.
H encountered snows ebon after
his departure. Later he went oyer
a frozen bank into a field, the car
turning on its side; with the aid of
horses, the vehicle was righted
and restored to the road. In Den
mark, one of the three ferries on
which he had to cross was two
hours late in the fog which seem
ed to have enveloped all Europe.
The van Eijck party slept in the
car. an hour or so on occasion, an
alarm clock preventing their dos
ing too long.
The day after finishing this ter
rific trip, the Graham-Paige was
EPnt over the time-keeping test
designed to equalize the scores
made by competitors who bwd
come different distances. The
course for this eliminating test
was over acute hair-pin turns at
intervals of a few hundred yards.
The road was rough, and for many
miles was covered with snow.
Competitors had to Cover the 100
mile circuit twice, including the
ascent to the Col de Braus, 8000
feet above the start.
Hill Climb Third Test ,
The third test was the Mont des
Mules hill climb above Monte
Carlo a three kilometer course
nf many hair-pin turns, eorerlng
the ascent from BeaosoUel to La
Turbie.

In modern motor car manufactur

gauges which, in turn, have jewel
bearings a super, accuracy fea

To utilize light waves, special
lenses are brought Into play and

produces light rays, each Indicat

there are no light rays risible, the
tester knows that the working
guage Is positively accurate and
that the motor parts It measures
will also be accurate.
Thousands of snap gauges and

In producing a motor car equally
matchless in appearance as it is
in performance, Chrysler'de
signers substituted taste Style for
fleeting styles by going back to
the ancienth wht established the
changeless principles of art the
age-old laws of beauty, of bal
ance and of symmetry. 3 j
' i
Such is the kinship between the
beautiful and the useful that
strength and grace, power and
charm', 'stufdrhess 'and loveliness
combined naturally; scientific
engineering principles conform
ing to the time-proved standards
of proportion and balance. .
Thus the studied canons of an
cient art have been translated into
modern terms and epitomized
in the Chrysler. Its appearance
is now only rivaled by its per
formance, and it is as pleasing to
observe as it is satisfying to drive.
