THE -T H I R D G RE AT
Automobile Development
'All automobile engineer-:
ing might well be divided'
into three phases. Three
distinct problems, have
been met and solutions
found.
- The first was to make
the automobile depend
able. This was done with'
the four-cylinder motor.
The second was tomakc
it more powerful and eas
ier to drive. This was
done with the six.
' The third phase has been to make the
automobile smoother to make it effort
less and the driving an unnoticed task.
This has been done with the straight-eight
the third great autoinobilcdcvclopmcnt.
