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."

These three boy scouts were picked from 600 to tour the westers national park system this rammer.
The boys started from Oakland, Calif., and will visit parka 1b eleven western states. At the wheel
of the veteran Dodge car which has covered more than 75,000 miles. Is Ansel Hall, chief naturalist for
the western division of national parks. A new Dodge Brothers Six roadster Is starting the boys on
their way.
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.

been reading up a bit on auto accident facts and ne has found out that
nearly all accidents caused by mechanical defects occur In such ancient
contraptions as the one pictured above. The famous "One Horse Shay,
you will remember, finally collapsed In a heap. The hazard of the anti
quated auto Is a serious one, points out the National Safety Council.
