The Oaklyn eight develops one horsepower 1 every 37 potnds of car weight, Again meriting its long reputation as an" gutomotive pioneer, Oakland has developed an entirely new type of engine mounting for the Eight. & The two forward engine. mountings Sare designed in the form of flat la« Sminated springs, While rear rubber mountings restrdin the engine from motion relative to the car frame, these Sfront spring type mountings serve to $absorb the normal reactions of en- fgine operation. In order to prevent the spring type mountings from per- ® mitting the engine to respond to road wahocks a new device--ghe "synchron- zer" was. invented. Synchronized ith the normal engine reactions, this simple device its the springs on which the front of the evgine is = mounted to absorb these microscopic reactions bet through its anc shocks from communicating extreme motion to the engine.
