PAGE TWO The OREGON STATESMAN. Salem. Oregon, Sunday Morniag. July 28. 1929 LODES BROS 1 WITH TftCHOMETER New" Device Shows Revolu tions Per Minute of Motor at Varying Speeds 1 Scouts Use Dodge Car for 12,000 Mile Trip Because of the successful first week of the tachometer test de monstration of four-speed advant ages. Loder Bros., Graham-Paige representatives here, will continue the educational campaign indef initely. Many motorists last week rode In a Graham-Paige demon strator and learned from theach - oraeter, which shows the revolu tions per minute of the motor, how, the four-speed drive results In! lower engine speed at any road speed, as compared with a three speed car. i h"We would -like to show every motorist, by means of the tacho meter, Just what 'four speeds for ward means," said Mr. Loder. "We want the general motorlns public to learn what every own er of a four-speed Graham-Paige has clearly realized that the new type transmission provides an en tirely new range of performance. - 'The fact Is, the Graham-Paige transmission marks a great ad vance of transmissions in general, .regardless of the number of speeds, because of the silence, su perior efficiency, and the ease of gear changing that result from the use of internal gears. I "It is only when the new prin ciples are used in combination with a high-powered engine and a rear axle geared much higher than in the average car, that their fall advantages are gained."

Precision Tests Made to Improve Rings In Dodge ; The car and precision neces ef.ry in the design of pistons and the lubrication of cylinder walls where those pistons operate can readily be calculated by the fact that each piston in a new Dodge Brothers Sb; engine travels ap proximately 2.100 feet a minute inside the cylinder when the car is driven 60 mile. an hour. I At that speed, the ensine in the new Dodge Brothers Six is turn ing at the rate of 54 revolutions a second, and during every revo lation eaeh piston travels a total distance of 7 3.4 inches up and down ni the cylinder wall. For every 100 miles the car travels each piston rolls up a mileage of approximately 39 mile3. operat ing in a "roadway" only 3 7.8 Inches long. HO W'S THE ROAD?
