One of t tie most Rtrikmi? mlvnuppo nf the new Light Six is its uew tvp and d Himi of body, winch Is greater iu length tmd of all-steel eoustruetiou, even to the frninework. This new bmly gives the ciir its beauty and distinctiveness, while nt the-Kame time there is greater durability ond comfort as well. The lower edge of depressed belt which extends around the body and is carried through the hood nnd radiator further sets off the attract ive body. Hues. 1 he new one-niece, rnin-nroof wind shield gives clear and unobstructed view to the driver and is a (piality feature as sociated heretofore with cars of much higher price, fowl lights in the corners of the windshield base further enhance Attractiveness nnd finished appearance tbat characterizes the car. Another convenience is the new type quick-action cowl ventilator, which in regulated by pulling up or down on a handy lever that extends below the cen ter of the instrument board. The storm : curiums, wnicn open with tne doors, are closer titling Deoiuse tne etiees are bound on three sides by steel rods. The wheelhsse is 112 inches. The built- in thief-proof transmission look reduces I the theft: insurance cost to Light Six j owners from 1" to 20 per cent. The lines of the Gypsy top ure in bar- mony with the body. The one-piece rear ! curtain has a large rectangular window. 1 Tires are Hlx-i inches and non-skid on all wheels. Ten-inch deep seat cushions are upholstered in genuine leather. i The chassis of t ho 1023 series Tjght Six remains unchanged in general design. The six-cylinder, 40 horsepower, motor, .'t 1-Sy4 1-2 inches, is suspended at three points, nnd is of an improved L-hed type with inclined valves, cylinders cast cnbloc integral with the upper half of the crankcuse, detachable cylinder head, and completely macliiued combustion chambers. The crankshaft nnd crankshaft bear ings are unusually large. The crankshaft W in exact balance at all speeds. Connect ing rods are of the two-bolt type and 10 inches long an unusual length for a 4Vi inch stroke. The crankshaft and connect ing rods are machined on all surfaces, a 3rnctiee fottnd in no other moderate priced car yet produced. This insures ex act balonce and uniform weight of re ciprocating nnd rotating parts, and re sults in a remarkable smoothness, quiet iiestt'of operation, and freedom from vi bration at nil speeds. J Valves are inclined toward the center of the cylinder at an angle of 20 degrees. This aids- the free passage of gases and from the cylinders, making possible , a more compact nnd symmetrical comhus- I tiou chamber and in addition rendering the whole valve operating mechanism more accessible. The valve mechanism i consists of a bell-crank lever with ro-fler fnntnH- t(T-1he cam. nnd with adjusting screw to the valve stem. The hell-crank, lever gives a maximum valve nit iroin u minimum cam lift and insures quicker opening and better timing.
