CHALMERS MODELS HAD SEVERE TESTS New Cars to the Public, But Old to the Engineers Who De signed and Built Them Lee Counselman, vice-president and general manager, Chalmers Motor Company says: "The Chalmers Motor Company haa this year anounced two new models, new from the ground up. ".These cars are different from any previous Chalmers models. They are different from Either cars on the mar ket. They embody new features of design, new principles of construction, new style. "To the public they are just what I have called them—new cars from the ground up. To the engineers who built them, they are old cars. "For the building of an automobile involves an amount of experimenting, building and rebuilding, testing and retesting, of which the buying public has little conception. "The Chalmers 'Six-60,' for instance, was started more than two years ago. It was months before that, that the original idea of this car came to the engineers. It was only after many conferences among the oflicers of the company and Chalmers dealers from all parts of the country that the gen eral specifications of this car were de cided upon. "Then, about two years ago, follow ed a period of construction of which only the Chalmers engineers knew i much. "After extensive study abroad and j in thia country, certain principles of | construction were decided upon by the engineers. They were built into a car,' And when this car was finally com pleted It was sent out on the road, every part to be tested—to be broken, if such a thing were possible. The preliminary tests of a new model In volve thousands of miles of the most strenuous driving Imaginable.

Another car made what • would have been, had it been publicly i announced, a record non-stop run over i th • hot sands in the Southwest. From radiator to rear axle special tests were devised for every part. Not the motor alone, but clutch, transmission, brakes, driving gears, ignition, steering con nections—every'part of the car iB tried to the breaking point. "It Is by tests such as these that we determine the Tightness of any type of construction, that we gauge the factor of safety necessary in every part of the car." 7
