In connection with the Rejection or a

ledire In America concerning tlie on
eration of. dirigiblea. They are con
Tinced that this type of aerial trans
portation is practical as evidenced by
their expenditures in this field, au
thorized and contemplated. The navy
now has under construction it the
plant of the Goodyear Zeppelin. Corp.
at Akron, Ohio, two airships, each
with a capacity of 6,G(0,000 cu. ft
of helium gas. This contract calls
for a capital expenditure of $R,000(
000. Atlantic coast facilities at .Lake
hurst are adequate for the operation
of one of these units. Additional fa
cilities for the other ship to be based
in southern California call for an
additional expenditure of $5,000,000.
With the navy's program well
tinder way and the first flight of the
scheduled for July, 1931, the
Question naturally raises what are

crankshaft vibration balancer, and
others, Graham-Paige wnj free to
concentrate on improvements to pro
mote boauty, comfort, and easy rid
ing. The results are apparent in all
models, the new 612. Ibwest priced cf
the line, sharing with the iHrtrpr sitph
and eights in the thoroiiKhRoing re
vision or oony trim and nttinjis.
Of chief interest amonjr the me
chanical developments is the intro
duction of a new chassis for model
612, the popular-priced six-cylinder
model that has led Graham-Pais-6
sales this year with a total of 3-V
000 cara between January 7 and
August 1, whenprodnction of the new
model began. The new 612 Is larger,
heavier, and more powerful than its
predecessor. The wneelbase has been
extended from 112 Inches to 115,
with a resultant improvement not
only in appearance but, even more
important, in roadability and riding
?ualltles, the latter two factors being
urther improved by the adoption of
Ifir-T tirfs.
The new engine is at o i8 Inch
bor by 4 1-2 inch stroke, the bore
hnving been increased from 3 inches.
With it increased displacement, t 7
cu. in. instead of 190, the new engine
develops a maximum of (VJ horse
power, and moreover reaches the
peak of its power at only 3000 r. p.
m., as compared with 62 h. p. at 3200
r. p. m. in the previous model. Bet
ter acceleration and sperd result from
the gain in power, while the low
pPHk-power engine speed is of equal
importance in promoting hill-elimb-fng
ability and flexibility in high gear.
General construction of the engine is
the same tin In the -larger models,
the 612 having aluminum invar-sini
pirtoni. water-jacketing to the full
depth of the bore, water pump and
fenerator driven by the timing chain
nstead of from the fan belt, and
ofher Oraham-Paige features. En
gine suspenftion is at four points,
rubber at tbe rear, and ft new form
of solid cross member support at the
front. Oil capacity has hen increased
to 7 quarts instead of 6.
Increased strength, to keep the
longer wheelbase and the gain in
weight and power, is built into the
frame. The depth of the side rails
is now 6 1-2 inches, and the thickness
also is increased.
Ko consistent Is Graham-Paige
Sractice throughout all its line that
etails of new model 012 bodies Illus
trate In general the Improvements In
all models in structural details, the
larger and higher priced cars vary
ing chiefly in such features aa up
holstery, trim materials, and finisn.
For instance, the instrument board
follows the same general plan in all
models. Each of the HU1 Is indiv
itiuaiiy framed in a narrow chromium
plated bead set directly into the satin
finish lackground of the dash panel.
The new arrangement permits of ex
cellent lighting of each dial for night
driving.
Tne arrangement ror adjusting me
position of the full width 'front seat
cives a range of four inches. The
entire seat and back are moved as a
unit by means of a amall crank near
the floor, where either the driver or
the passenger may readily operate it
even while the car is in motion. The
seat remains locked in any position.
In the two-door sedan, with sep
arate front seats, a wider range of
adjustment is provided, and either
seat may be moved Independently of
the other. The driver or passenger,
by pulling out a knob at his side, may
move the seat fore or aft, with a j
choice of six locked positions. In i
normal use, the rails on which the
seat slide are entirely concealed. ,
when the locking knob Is pu
lulled out,
the seats automatically aline forward
under spring tension, making a wide
entry way to the rear passenger com
partment. Change of riding position In the
reer eat is effected by moving the
seat cushion only. A tall person, or
one who likea to lean well back, will
prefer the forward position, which
makes a deeper seat and alters the
slope of the cushion. In the rear po
sition, better comfort is provided for
a passenger who is short or likea to
sit upright. The seat is held in either
place bv two lugs that fit into cor
responding recesses In the cushion
frame. The rear of the cushion in
either position fits closely In the
cushion frame. The rear of the cush
ion In either position , fits closely
against the seat-back, which is so
constructed that its springs keep it in
close contact with the cushion. The
rear seat adjustment is intended as
a convenience or Tegular owner
passengers, so that the cushion may
remain in the most comfortable posi
tion. Both the 612 md 615 models cll.
play a new three-spoke steering
wheel. It la so mounted that one
spoke Is straight forward when the
front wheels of the car are running
dead ahead. The forward spoke thus
serves aw a direction indicator. The
other two are thus ljk the proper
position for drivers who like to hold
tne wheel ny tne spoaes, ana tne wide
space between makes the Instrument
board fully visible.
Extremely sturdy roof construction
La a mark of the new Graham-Paige
bodies. Tbe front corners above the
windshield are rigidly held against
crosswise or lengthwise movement by
means of a newly designed steel brace
of great Btiffness, bolted In place in
