There was no '"flat spot' any where in the ecarburetion, and the driver stated that so far he, had been unable to find a vibration pertod at any point--s statement which may be credit- ed when it is understood that the car and engine are bulit to the same fine precision himits as' the lineoln, long renowned for its engineering and finish. At 60 in high the tight new engine. was not really trying. As for ling qualities, four adults aboard, the car speed over rough eravel right down to the road, is largely acounted for by the longer wheelbase, the new springs, which are still of trans- verse type, but are suspended hack of the rear exle now and are exceedingly flat, and the automatic shock absorbers. These Houdaille hydranlie shock absorbers are controlled by a thermostat within the eom- pression fluid, which controls the size of the orifice through which the fluid is driven from one chamber to another of the absorber. As you probably know, the principle of the hydraulic sheek absorber is that the up and down operation of the hody on the springs, drives a fluid through an orifice between two chambers and if the size of 'the orifice is small, the shock absor- ard'; as it is enlarg- ed the absorbers "soften."' The thermostat as soon as the fluid becomes heated through the violent agitation caused by a rough road, chokes down the orifice and '"hardens" the shock absorbers. Ingenious?
