ARE INNOVATIONS Front Axle and Spring Changes Center Weight of Car Industry Expects Big Sales Raise Over '34 New Ford V-8 Attracts Motor Enthusiasts NEW YORK, Jan. 8. (AP) A glit tering array of 1935 motor cars, showing little radical change In de sign, but with a general trend toward Increased riding comfort, were pre sented to the motoring public Sat urday at the opening of the 35th an nual New York automobile show. The show 1b presented this year for the first time by the dealers, instead of the manufacturers. It also marks the first time in a quarter of a century that Henry Ford has dis played with other producers. Ease Stressed. The stress on riding ease has been manifested In refinements of Inde pendent front wheel mountings last years "knee action" body lengthening, front axle and spring chances to center the car weight, and moving toward center the rear seat from Its bumpy position over the rear wheels. Almost all of the 1935 models still present a new form of springs and many models have shoved forward both rear and front springs together with the load center. Front Seats Wider. The populnr front seat in which three was always a crowd has been generally widened to correspond with rear seat comfort, leg room Increased, gear shifts moved or Improved for more "knee room." and engine re finements incorporated for fuel econ omy and stepping up speed without Increasing engine revolution. Outwardly, the most noticeable change In the restyling of many models lies in a narrow and higher radiator grill. In this connection, one model (Chrysler eight) has developed a definite "nose ' In place of the slanting fore panel. Manufacturing plans for 1935 show marked optimism. The Industry as a whole has ex pressed Itself hopeful of a sales rise of inore than half a million cars over the 2.800.000 produced last year. 4 Phoenix p7 14 4 f -' :U-Ut " 3 r"" j r 1935 NASH SHOWN F Walter W.

This new car wilt be on display all day today, according to Mr. Abbey. With the Introduction of the "bal- anced ride" on Its 1935 models Nash has taken a long step forward In providing maximum riding comfort. To achieve the final result Involved the development of many new engi neering principles and a departure from several basic practices consid ered almost traditional In the auto mobile Industry. Among the prob lems successfully solved were the complete redistribution of car weight, the placing of front and rear seats between the axles, the development Hundreds of Ford enthusiasts have visited the showrooms of the C.

The company Is now author ized to deal In all types of machine ry. With a fully equipped welding shop for steel fabrication, Medford Pipe and Machinery Co. Is planning to expand In their manufacture of die cast articles, which, have In the past consisted only of air compressors for beer dispenserles and dental equip ment. President W. W. Prlckott has turned over all patents for this type of compressor to the corporation, and Is negotiating for the manufacture of other articles such as dlelcast pulleys and ladder brackets, by con tract. The corporation has installed a single unit die-cast foundry operat ey by two moulders and four assemb ly men. When running at full capa city, the foundry uses 800 pounds of die-cast metal per shift. The foundry Is the only one located between Se attle and San Francisco, Prlckett said. John T. Anderson of Portland, patent-coordinator, made a special trip to this city the latter part of the week to check on the Improvements that have been made by Medford Pipe and Machinery Co. since pat ents were applied for.

SISTABLE PRISON SENTENCE LA GRANDE. Ore.. Jan. fAP) Circuit J ud Re J. W. Knowlea sentenc ed three men and one woman to terms in the state penitentiary at Enterprise Friday. Dr. H. H.

Ore., and the woman , waa sen tenced to five years and the man to two years. Bill Daugherty arrested with them, will enter a plea later.

All four sentenced are residents of Wallowa county. of front and rear springs of approxi mately the same length, synchroniz ed to flex equally the control of spring friction and the elimination of the necessity of spring lubrica tion. Chief of the many engineering de velopments which have contributed to this "balanced ride'' la the fact that springing is controlled on all four wheels. Nash calls It "synchro-1 nlzed springing" and, in the light of the remarkable claims made for it. the manner In which the results are obtained Is astonishing In Its sim plicity. One of the new features of the 1935 Nash cars which is a direct result of owner recommendation, la the hy draulic braking system. Following their customary practice of building cars as near to owner specifications as possible. Nash queried a large cross section of Its customers last slim mer, asking for suggestions on how to Improve the next model. So many people asked for h yd suite brakes that the engineers at once began making testa of the various types to deter mine which of them would be most suitable for Nash to use. Super hydraulic brakes of the Duo Servo type were the outcome of these erpertment. Duo Reno means that theae brake are aided In their work by the forward momentum of the car, so that less pressure Is required on the foot pedal than would otherwise be necessary. CHARLES 0.
