Winn. 330 - 1317B-3) -------- British Authority Sounds Praise Note for Graham-Paige High praise for an American car by a recognized British authority is con- tained in a recent report of a road test of a six-cylinder Graham-Paige model 619, conducted by "The Motor," leading automobile publication of Great Britain. "The Graham-Paige," says "Motor" in summing up its analysis, "is an ex- ceptionally attractive car, being pos- sessed of a fine performance, and pro- viding the comfort of many vehicles costing nearly double." Four-speed cars are popular in Europe, so naturally "Motor" was par- ticularly interested in the improved type of four-speed drive used in the Graham-Paige, utilizing internal gears to provide a quiet third speed. "The manufacturers of the Graham- Paige," says the British authority, must be given the credit for being the first American concern to realize that a big six or eight-cylinder engine is capable of dealing with its load satisfactorily in a much higher gear than the average 5 to 1 ratio favored by other American concerns. "The fact that four forward speeds are available is, however, by no means the most interesting point, for the out- standing features are the practically fool-proof gear change and the silence of the transmission when third is em- ployed; so quiet is it, in fact, that an expert would not be able to detect the difference at speeds up to 50 miles per hour. "The car covered a flying half-mile at Brooklands in 234-5 seconds, equivalent to 75.63 miles per hour, which incidentally is the highest speed we have ever attained on a standard American production model submitted to us for test.
