CANNON TO LOCATE IN WAUKEGAN After six months of "saying nothing but sawing wood," Henry Ford yesterday announced the specifications of the new Ford car which succeeds his famous Model T. A bare listing of those specifications presents a picture of an automobile that in performance, appearance and mechanical features has heretofore been associated with a considerably high price class. Unusual speed and acceleration are among the outstanding features of the new car. It is announced as being able to make fifty-fiv^ to sixty miles an hour, with ease. In recent tests it has made even more without any difficulty. What is more important, it is stated that when traveling at such speeds, it holds the road easily, and with comfort to driver and pasengers. It is also stated with equal positivness, however, that it performs in an equally spectacular manner on bad roads. In its design, Mr. Ford has held to his original idea of a car which can meet all conditions and types of roads. Appreciating the constantly increasing importance of acceleration, the Ford Motor company has given a great deal of study to this feature of the new car. In high gear testa with rwo passengers in a Tudor seuan it has shown an acceleration of from five to twenty-five miles an hour in 8V» seconds. The new Ford car' also introduces a new type of four-wheel brakes. An • pin electrically welded steel, and spiral bevel gear drive are interesting features. The axle shafts carry none of the weight of the car, the wheels running on roller bearings on the housing. Newly developed springs of the transverse semi-elliptic type and hydraulic shock-absorbers prevent excessive up-and-down movement and remove side sway. Irreversible steering gear, which prevents shocks from being transmitted back to the hands of the driver makes handling exceptionally easy. Maximum steering safety is further provided by a gear housing of welded steel forgings and a steel tube steering column welded into the housing, making a sturdy and exceptionally safe one-piece unit. Ford-designed steel spoke wheels, completely welded into a one-piece assembly, are provided. There are six models of the new car. They are the phateton, roadster, sport coupe, coupe, Todor sedan and Fordor sedan. Knox Motor Sales are preparing for a public reception Friday, when models of the new line will be shown in photographs and charts. "IS YOUR DAUGHTEi SAFE?"

The brake pedal and the hand brake each' operates all four brakes. It is stated that this is the most relitble and simplest type of four wheel brake, and also the easiest to adjust, all adjustments being made from the outside without removing any parts. An engine that is practically vi-j brationless develops 40 horsepower at 2,200 revolutions per minute. This low revolution speed in ratio to the high horsepower is illustrative of the unusual efficiency of the engine. Also, it means drive on. The driver of the big car remained at the wheel of the Cadillac and followed. This happened about a quarter after seven.

Almost at once he was recognized as Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago and everybody gave him a hearty welcome. Mayor Thompson came late, following other engagements which had detained him. to say that he was delighted is putting it mildly.

The coachwork of the car is as disinctiye. as« its performance. There Ss a noticeable European touch in line and~contour. It is not only designed for exterior beauty, but as well the interior roominess, convenience and luxurious appointments to be found in much higher priced automobiles. On an instrument board of satin finished nickel are mounted the speedometer, gasoline guage, ammeter and ignition lock with a dashlight in the center. The new military-type sun visor, with crown roof and round corners, are features of the closed models. Unusually narrow pillars and very wide doors and windows give maximum vision. Nickeled radiator shell and headlamps further accentuate the exterior attractiveness, while choices ot four colors in pyroxylin finish are offered. Simplicity in design has also been carried to the ignition. There ^ only one coil, in a waterproof case. There are no vibrators to adjust, and no exposed cables to work loose or short circuit from water. The distributor is located in a readily accessible position on top of the engine. Centrifugal water pump, large radiator and airplane propeller-type fan provide a cooling system which makes the car very difficult to overheat, except from abuse, such as running without enough oil, or dry radiator. » From 20 to 30 miles to a gallon of gasoline, depending upon driving speed, is the gasoline consumption anrtounced.
