OldsmobileHas
Special Drive
Perfected' Typ f Fluid
Clutch Is Claimed;
Use is Simple
Several schemes for transmit
ting the torfue developed at the
crankshaft of a motor carsto the
driving wheels through hydraulic
couplings are now on the mar
ket. The 1940 Oldsmoblle offers,
with its Hydra-Matic drive, a com
pletely new method of automati
cally combining a fluid drive with
various combinations or gearing.
Many engineers assert that Olds
mobile's Hydra-Matic drive is the
outstanding development of 1940
models. It is attracting almost as
much attention as the new "Sealed
Beam" headlighting system. In
general use on the new passen
ger cars.
The old short-comings of fluid
drives too much creep under en-
glue idle conditions and exces
sive sup unaer normal mgn gear
driving conditions are said to
have been completely overcome
in the Hydra-Matic drive. Ar
rangement of the fluid drive with
respect to the planetary units has
reduced the slip in fourth gear
to less than 1 per cent over a
large part of the driving range,
according to James L. Loder of
Loder Bros., Salem Oldsmoblle
dealer.
Hydra-Matic drive is a combina
tion of liquid flywheel and fully
automatic transmission that leaves
the driver nothing much to do
except step on the accelerator or
brake. This new drive eliminates
clutch and clutch pedal. Only
control other than accelerator and
brake is a small lever under the
steering wheel with four positions
on a quadrant indicating "Neu
tral." "High," "Low" and "Re
verse." When the car is standing, the
lever Is normally at "Neutral."
To start, the ignition key is turned
and starter operated in the usual
manner. Then, to go forward,
the lever is shifted from "Neutral"
to 'tHigh" and the driver steps
on the accelerator. The car moves
forward smoothly, changing Its
own gears through first, second
and third until, at 23 miles per
hour, it enters fourth speed, a
direct drive with the rear axle
ratio of 3.6 to 1. The "Low" posi
tion is used only in sand or mud
or in climbing or descending an
extremely steep hill where low
gear Is advisable.
Striking performance is claimed
from Hydra-Matic drive. The car
can be driven up a hill at a snail's
pace and even stopped on the
steepest hill without using the
brake. By slightly depressing the
accelerator, the car can be held
by the power of the motor par
tially applied through the liquid
flywheel. This can be done by
slipping the clutch with the con
ventional drive, but it damages
the clutch. The liquid in the fly
wheel suffers no injury by hold
ing the car in this manner, and
from such a dead stop the car
will climb smoothly on up the hill,
with no possibility of stalling the
motor.
Arbor Day Plans

INDEPENDENCE Arbor day.
February 9, is being observed by
