In qualities of steels; in development of design; in accuracy of manufacture, Stude baker could not improve on its construc- •tion. even if it manufactured a car to sell for $5000.00. The weight of the car; the strain of stop ping, starting and driving the car; the strain of side-thrust in turuing corners at high speed, are all absorbed by the giant strong axle housing, and all these strains and the weight of the car, are carried on this hous ing on big Timken bearings. 7- . 40 H .
