This in vention means the greatest improve ment in riding comfort since solid tires gave way to pneumatics. SInco the triangular suspension projects tjic apex of the springs fifteen inches be yond the axle, both front and rear, n spring base of 130 inches is obtained on a cdr of 100-incti wheclbase. Thus Qverland Four has the short turning radius of cars with short whcclbaso and at the same time the road comfort and -oad steadiness formerly conliued to heavy expensive cars of long wheclbase. One advantage of this sprlug sus pension is that jou ride between the springs ami not directly over them. One never buys a sleeping-car bertli directly over the trucks if lie can help it. Another advantage is that Overland Four springs take a head-on shock dlag inally or "on the bias" just aa with ordinary springs jou drive across rail load tracks diagonally, or "dn the ,!as J.l!ows nlc Klnncing and not direct. Thus they end the ordinnrv bouncing oer bumps. They stop the usual swinging, twisting and jars that fatigue the passengers and nick the car. C. W. NASH President of tlio Nash Motors Co.
