Hie New OREGON STATESMAN. Salem, Oregon. Sonday Morning, April 7, 1929 PAGE NINE -s' X J $flttL Hi BETTER HE (Continued from page 7) appeared on the Oakland line, so the All-American six boasts more than fifty refinements, many of them exclusive to the car in; Its price field. ' S . A quick mechanical picture of the new Oakland shows a larger nd fleeter power plant, a new pat ented rubber engine support, new uasiana-aeveiopea internal ex. pandlng self-energizing four wheel brakes, larger cross-flow radiator, -counterbalanced crankshaft, larjj- r three-port Intake manifolds, and unique lubrication of cylinder alls. Interpreted in terms of perform ance, the new refinements, mean quick vfbrationless acceleration of from ten to 25 miles an hour in six seconds flat, and a top speed of well over 70 miles an hour, according to tests under the stop watch at the General Motors Prov ing: ground, where the new car was made ready for the public Built on a 117-inch wbeelbase, the new power plant develops 68 horsepower at 3,000 revolutions per minute. Cylinder displacement today is 228 cubic inches, increas ed from 212 cubic inches last year by enlarging the bore io 3 . 3-8 Inches from Z Inches. Stroke, re mains at 4 1-4 inches. The engine; Is the L-head type, with a high compression G-M-R head pioneered by Oakland, which may he removed without interfer ence with the ignition, and with provision for a built-in thermo stat. A feature of the head Is a semi-circular baffle located di rectly above the piston which is claimed to give maximum freedom from detonation. Compression ra tio is 4.9 to 1. The power plant is mounted on four supports and Insulated from the frame by rubber "biscuits," developed by Oakland engineers and exclusive to the latest All w!!i?iJ! The design of the "bis cuit," is unique because it Is Im possible for a mechanic to change the compression of the rubber, no matter how hard he drawns down on the fastening nut. By decreasing the size of the hexagons In the new copper core of the cross-flow radiator, increas ed cooling is provided, while ther mostatic control has been an Oak land feature for the past few years. The ' Oakland pioneered cross-flow principle of radiation has especial value in winter driv ing because it reduces evaporation and allows for efficient operation with the water level at only two thirds the height of the radiator tore, thus lowering the possibility.) of freezing. yx ntrolLeftTo wa; States in Uniform Code 1 t PlaMe for National Use 25 Principles Worked Gut For Use by Council On Nation Street and Highway Safety; Suggestions Worked Out Carefully XEW FAIX TIUATj i v ' Albert S. Fall will go on "trial In Washington again, the govern ment apparently having dug Up something that he has not been acquitted of. Crane American. - From the beginning, of Us work it has been the concensus of the national conference, on street and highway safety that to the sever al states should be reserved the broad general control - of motor vehlele operation. Accordingly, at tention was first concentrated up on formulating a uniform vehicle code having this end in view. It was equally apparent that muni cipalities are confronted with rpo cial problems that ;.o state law could or should aspire to cover, and so the conference next under took formulation of a model municipal traffic ordinance. This is so drawn that it can be util ized as a sound framework by any city or town in building legal reg ulations governing the use of mo tor vehicles in such centers and supplying a remedy for the traf fic evils with which it may be harassed. Several hundred cities have already adopted this course and with gratifying results. The conference started with the premise that the model ordinance should b9 In complete harmony with the state code. Study of the problem next indicated that there was not, after all, such a wide fundamental divergence In muni cipalities bat that many standard provisions could well be applied ot those of all sizes. A tentative draft of the model ordinance was distributed to public officials, particularly police, citizens organ izations and' other Interested groups throughout the 'country with invitations for criticism. Some suggested changes found in the responses were incorporated In the final draft, which contains twenty-five essential features, as follows: 1. Recommends the creation of an official traffic body in each city to co-ordinate all municipal agencies in matters of traffic reg ulation, control and enforcement. 2. Recommends the establish ment of a division at traffic en gineering and the employment of a city traffic enginser in citie3 where there is a serious traffic problem. - Uniform Signals Wanted 3. Recommends the adoption of uniform official traffic signs, sig nals and pavement markings. - 4. Recommends the installation of traffic control signals on streets where traffic is heavy in order to speed up the movement of vehicles and safeguard redes trians. -5. Provides that where traffic signals are used the movement of traffic shall be directed by the words "Stop." "Go", and "Can tlon" or "Wait" or by the use of colored lights. f. Where colored lights ara used, red ! shall indicate "Stop"W green shall Indicate "Go" and yellow ab.aH indicate "Caution" or "Wait." 7. Provides That pedestrians shall be given the right-of-way over vehicles at all crossings, ex cept where traffic is regulated by an oficer or signals. 8. Provides that pedestrians ahall yield right-of-way to vehicles at all places other than crossings, but drivers of vehicles must al wag? exercise due care for safety of pedestrians. Pedestrians Rights (liven Out .9. Provides ' that where traffic is controlled, pedestrians must yield right-of-way to vehicles pro ceeding under a "Go." signal, while vehicles must yield to pe destrians who are crossing or have started to cross under a "Go" signal. 10. Provides rules regarding driving past street cars and pro vides that vehicles msst not re main on street car tracks after the street caV has signalled. . It. Provides that railway trains and street cars shall not block the streets. 12. Provides that vehicles shall not stop In certain specified places on streets. 13.. Provides for the establish ment of loading zones for passen ger and freight vehicles, also for bus stops and taxicab stands., lt Prohibits busses and iaxl cabs from parking in places other that designated stands or zones, except tbat'they may be permitted to stop at other places to take on or let off passengers. ' Parking Limited 15. Provides that parking shall be entirely prohibited in certain places and that parking time shall be limited in certain designated places. 16. Provides, that co vehicle be permitted to park In such a man ner that less than ten feet of the width of the roadway is left avail able for the free movement of traffic. 17. Prohibits all-night parking. 18. Prohibits the use of a ve hicle on the streets for the pri mary purpose of displaying adver tising. 19. Provides that all vehicles shall keep on the right side of the street, and that slow moving vehicles keep as closely as possi bly to the right curb, except where conditions make it impracticable. siflProvides that right turns 8jhallbe"made from the right hand curb and that left turns shall be made from the traffic lane nearest- the center of the street. In making left turn vehicle shall pass to the right of the center' of the Intersection, unless otherwise di rected. v . 21. Provides that all left turns shafr be made on the "Go" signal, unless otherwise directed 2y a' police officer. . 22. Provides that running around shall be prohibited unless movement can be made In safety and without backing or interfer ence with other traffic. 23. Provides that vehicles emerging from alleys or private driveways shall atop before pro ceeding across sidewalk. 24. Provides that all .vehicles left unattended on. -street shall have brakes set and engine stop ped, and that parked vehicles shall be equipped with proper lights at night. As in the case of the uniform code the framers of the model or dinance recognized that there should be in the ordinance suffi cient elasticity to render It remedial of specific local traffic conditions. Accordingly, the or dinance has been so drawn that it can be made applicable to any municipal situation without sac rifice of its sound fundamental principles.
