U
kPOWER of wind
RESISTANCE NOT
WIDELY KNOWN
Designers Realize Its Pow
er Far More Than
Driver of Car
HE BACKWARD ,PULL
Wind resistance as a consumer of the
power of an automobile la not appreciated
by tho average car owner anywhere near
as much as It Is by the designer. It Is
this attention to the resistance due to
the pressure of the wind on tho projected
surface that has been ono o( the most Im
portant factors In determining tho shape
of the car exterior. Human nature Is such
that refinement of detail generally leads
tho finished product to operate along the
lines of least resistance, and the stream
line automobile body Is only a significant
illustration of this point.
Looking at the forward end of the car
for 1916 It will be noted that the entrance
lines, or that part of the car which nets
as an entering wedge to split apart the
volume of air In front, Is narrower than
ever before. Strange to say, however, the
lines of entrance Into the wind are not
of as much importance as those at the
rear of the vehicle, which determine the
ease of Juncture of the split-air currents.
It la a well-known fact that It is easier
to tow a wedge through the water with
the blunt end foremost and the apex at
4 the rear. Tho same rule applies to the
design of automobiles aa applies to boats,
and what Is known as rho Inverted-wedge
principle Is used with both.
TUB APPLICATION.
Bringing this theory down to actual
practice and applying It specifically to
the cars exhibited at the show, It will be
noted that the cars of today do not termi
nate. At the rear of the body lines In
the square high wall that was customary
In' earlier designs. As much attention has
bfen put on a molded rear surface as has
been applied to' the straightening of the
lines of the engine hood and the flattening
of tho cowl piece.
, This molding of the fore-and-aft lines
i of the car does not only apply to the
Jstourlng models, but alio to the closed
I cars, Ujnoualnea, coupes and sedans are
(vtn as much attention a3 regards en-
trance and terminating lines as the tour
s' tn cars. A good example of the molded
I surface In closed cars Is to be seen In
s. th,a Pullman coupe. This car has the
rounded front and rear which are sug
(.(stive of the submarine in marine archt
I lecture and a Zeppelin of the air.
f PUUJNCJ POWER.
To appreciate the actual bacl-ward pull
i Jiur power of the wind It may be men
t Moped that It Increases practically as
I th,e cube of the velocity. In cars travel
b Jo at fairly high rates of speed It takes
Prooro of the power of the engine to over
s' came the wind resistance than It does to
perform any other work about driving
tbO car. For each square foot of pro
jected, area, at a speed of 25 miles per
f boar, tho progress of the car is opposed
ibjr a Bteady pressure of three pounds.
At -0 miles per hour the resistance Is 10
i ' poynds per square foot, Aa the projected
area of an average touring car will be
f around 10 square feet, there Is a steady
.:' ar of 100 pounds on the carat 15 miles
7rf hour, vp in; me raunr speea ot iw
issJtsa per hour the drag Is SO pounds per
lustre foot, and Is, of course, of lmt
Itnponanca, ad rcuup ifio ciuiuuto
stance and tho suction at the closing
Iters Js'one of the most Important tasks
a fthe designer.

Oriford Lake Shade la
Latest for Particular
Buyers
Topular fancy has settled upon a new
fnvorlto color in 1916 models the Oriford
Lnko shade and the display of Chalmers
motor cars at Space A-13. Grand Central
Talnce, showing no less than three hand
some cars finished In tho new shade of
maroon, was ono of the centres of attrac
tion on opening night.
Concentrating on slx-cyllnder produc
tion for tho coming jear, tho Chalmers
Company Is exhibiting two slx-cyllnder
lines of different horsepower at Its ex
hibit. Tho Chalmers Slx-30, announced to
tho public a month ago, la shown In
touring, roadster and coupclct models, and
the Slx-10 Una H represented b touring,
roadster and cabriolet body stlcs In
addition to the car models, polished Slx-10
and Slx-10 chasscs are prominent features
of the exhibit. The Slx-30 chassis has
been cut away and Its working parts
placed under glass to afford show visitors
with a mechanical bent tho advanced
features of construction.
The Chalmers Slx-30 touring car Is the
lowest-priced machine ever turned out by
the Chalmers Company and admirably
Illustrates the big dlflerence In values of
the present auto show over that of a
ear ngo. It Is a flve-pasaenger model
with 115-Inch wheelbase, and has all the
features of equipment that nppcal to
femlnlno and masculine tastes alike. Rec
ognizing the fact that show visitors are
exhibiting Increased Interest in mechnn
Icnl features, Chalmers salesmen aro em
phasizing the points of the Slx-30 motor.
This motor Is or tho hlgh-Bpeed type,
ulth 3i-lnch bore and IK-'nch stroke,
developing 13 horsepower at 1650 revolutions.
1 ' ' ' ' ' '"
After years of development, experiment
and argument between exponents of tho
different types, tho slx-cj Under motor
seems to havo very decidedly come Into
ts own, If the display of Interest at the
Automobile Show may be tnken as evi
dence. The showing of Bulck cars, being ex
clusively "sixes," appears to be ono of
the hubs of populnrity around which re
volves the greatest automobile show
Philadelphia has ever seen. Apparently
many ilaitors make their start from the
Ilulck booth, and then return nnd "stick
around," listening to tho able sermons
on tho "six" expounded by Manager
Russell nnd his assistants,
Tho Bulck showing of pleasuro cars
consists of four models all "sixes," of
course ranging from tho runabout to tho
magnificent sevon-passengcr touring car.
The Hnlnlcn Company, Inc., distributers
of Hood pneumatic nnd solid tires, aro
Just finishing their second year In busi
ness. This Is one of the fastest-growing
houses In tho automobile, industry In
Philadelphia.
Two yenrs ngo this firm took on the
Hood tiro when It was llrsr put on Jlic
market nnd today It is ono of tho most
popular tires In Philadelphia. The Hood
Pneumatic is made from tho finest rubber
that can bo bought and the strongest
fabric that can be found. This company
not only uses tho Qnest material, but more
of It than found In other make tires,
nvery Hood tiro has rfn extra ply of
fabric, which naturally ghes It extra
strength, and the non-skid feature of the
Hood tiro makes It tho safest non-skid
tire that can be constructed.
Confidence In Us output Is shown brtil M
Chester Tiro Company, SOT North Brou3
street. This concern does not permit any 41
uncertainty to exist In the minds of a
purchaser of n. Chester tire as to the rt- 9
suit It will glvo him on the road. JutJI
to remove any aouui me cuinpanjr in iu
advertisements makes tho guarantee b!o4-
lng that the tire must give 000 mle. Ad
justments arc mndo on that bosla.
This Is evidence of confidence In ths
kind of material and workmanship that
enter Into tho tire, nnd the company IJ
sufficiently solid and well financed, t
cording to Its own reports, to make good
on all of Its agreements.

AN ALL-NHJHT SERVICE
It should be a matter of Interest to
automobile men to know that at 1503
Spring Garden street the service Is avail
able at all hours of tho day nnd night.
A free service Includes the mounting of
tubes, Inflating and chnnglng of tires, lin
ing lamps, drawing gasoline and such
needs as ordinarily como up. A man Is
always at hand to servo.
Day nnd night service Is not new to
Philadelphia, jet the standpoint from
which the Coloninl Ilubber Company ap
proaches It and the manner of cnrrylng
It out puts It on a new basis, one of
which tho car drlcr himself Is most
ready to take ndvantage.
