CADILLAC TWO-SPEED
DIRECT DRIVE AXLE
Is Leading Feature of Crispen Mo
tor Car Company Exhibit
This Year
When the Cadillac system of com
bining ignition, lighting and engine
starting in one electrical system was
introduced two years ago, it was very
properly regarded as a bold step, and
it was certainly the most interesting
| innovation which had been made for a
long time, while experience has shown
it to be as successful as it. was bold.
To day the Cadillac designers have
made another innovation, which is re
garded by many as even a greater im
provement than the very important
one of two years ago. As a basis, they
have taken the old idea of two pairs of
bevel gears, either pair working alter
nately and giving the car two different
gear ratios, but the way in which the
Cadillac designers have adopted it is
new, and the working results are not
merely satisfactory; they are so good
that they mark a distinct forward step
towards the long sought ideal of direct
and noiseless gears on all speeds. This
improvement is the leading feature of
the Crispen Motor Car Company's ex
hibit.
All Cadillac models are of the right
hand drive type, as the designers rec
ognize that this is the natural side
from which to drive, steer and control
a vehicle and that it gives the driver
at all times the best viewpoint for
clearance, particularly in country driv
ing. There is also an advantage in
approaching the club where a stop is
to be made. As the right side is the
natural-side from which most people
operate, the control levers are also
on that side.
The Cadillac company has paid es
pecial attention to the subject of sci
entific carburetion and the carbure
tors used on their motor cars are made
by the company according to their
own standards. On the 1914 Cadillac
will be found a new feature that adds
materially to the efficiency of the car
buretor. This is an electrical heating
device which vaporizes the gasoline
before the engine is started. This
makes it possible to start on lower
grades of fuel that heretofore and will
prove a great boon, particularly in cold
weather.
The 1914 Cadillac has an automatic
spark advance. Without this device
the driver must manipulate his spark
lever according to his own best judg
ment pf the engi. e's requirements. It
is not alone a question of speed. Some
times heavy going puts a drag on the
engine that necessitates manipulation
of the spark lever. With the novice
this is frequently nothing more than
good guessing. The Cadillac's auto
matic spark advance takes this task of
guessing from the driver and makes
the action positive, automatic, accord
ing to the engines needs.
The Cadillac enjoys the distinction
of having won the Dewar trophy on
two different occasions, and being the
only American car ever having receiv
ed this honor. The Cadillac is the
only car in the world that his won
this trophy t ice. This trophy is
awarded annually to the motor car
or the greatest achievement demon
strating the advancement of the in
ustry. The first time, three Cadillac
cars were completely dismantled and
the parts thereof thoroughly mixed so
that identification was imtossible.
Eighty-nine parts were withdrawn
from the heap and duplicates taken
lrom the stock of spares. Three cars
were then rebuilt from the haphazard
heap. Wrenches and screw-drivere
were the only tools employed. Neither
flies nor emery cloth were permitted—
nor were 2 they necessary; yet every
piece fitted as perfectly as in the car
from which it was taken. A variation
of the one-thousandth part of an inch
in dimensions would have meant
failure.
The second victory for the Cadillac
was based on a test, ever mol;e com
prehensive than that, of complete
standardization. It involved the driv
ing of 1,000 miles over give and take
roads, as phrased In the
the thorough testing of fuel and oil
consumption, the recording of the
number of times the electric cranking
device was used, the duration of the
current for lights during and after the
run and numerous other practical
matters that have to do with efficiency |
and service.
The contest was conducted with a j
compulsory average speed of 19.6 j
miles perhour. Several facts in the'
Cadillacs record stand out dominant-1
l.v. The gasoline consumption, for ex- I
ample, was 17.17 miles per gallon; the
oil consumption was 7.4 pints (more!
than 1,000 miles per gallon), which,
any motorist would recognize as ex
traordinary. Although the electric I
cranking device was used 130 times
during the trial, the engine was turned I
over 1,000 compression strokes at the i
end of the trial; and, although all the
electric lights were in continuously
during the road trial for 66 hours and
17 minutes, yet after the 1,000 com
pression test at the conclusion of the
road run, the side, rear-and speedome
ter lights continued to hum for twenty
hours. It was observed and noted that
the ignition was perfect throughout
the trial.
