East End Auto Company Has As
sumed Sales Rights For These
Well-known Cars
An Oldsmobile in a light car model
is the feature of the Olds Motor
Works announcement this year. The
Oldsmobllo Is well-known to Harris
burg, having been represented several
years ago by the East End Auto Com
pany. This latter company will again
assume the selling agency for automo
biles, and as the light model of the
Oldsmobile appeals to a greater num
ber of people than the larger model.

IIEW CADILLAC IS M
EIGHT-CYLINDER
First of Type to Be Marketed This
Side of the Water; 60-H. P.
With V-type Engine
In announcing that its new car is
powered with an eight-cylinder engine
of the V-type, the Cadillac Motor Car
Company becomes the first American
manufacturer to develop an eight
cylinder car for the market, and the
only manufacturer whose latest prod
uct embodies a vital advance in engi
neering and in motoring.
Thus are set at rest the rumors
which for weeks have presumed to
forecast Cadillac intentions and plans.
In the light of past developments it
seems only logical that the Cadillac
should be first in the American field
with an eight-cylinder car, as a glance
at motor car history will show.
The first high grade car at a popular
price was the original Cadillac Thirty
—and this car opened up a new field
to the industry.
For a year the Cadillac was the only
car to carry an electric starting and
lighting system—a feature that has
become an important part of the reg
ular equipment of almost every car.
As the Cadillac statement announc
ing the new car puts it:
"This company has never relaxed its
pursuit of that power principle which
would prove to be ultimate and final.
"We sought the medium by which
the Cadillac would be endowed, not
with approximate freedom from gear
shifting, or approximately swift ac
celeration, but with the highest pos
sible form of these three characteris
tics.
"The Cadillac Company has given
serious consideration to every reput
able type of motor —endeavoring to
scrutinize with scientific impartiality
the virtues and the limitations of each
and every one alike.
"Building and experimenting in
turn, with every type from the single
cylinder to the six, and from the pop
pet to the rotary and to the sliding
valve, we have been carried forward
to the highest form of frequent im
pulse motor —the V-type eight-clinder.
"The principal advantage of the
eight-cylinder engine is, of course, its
continuous torque, and continuous uni
form generation of power. There is
no pause or lapse between power im
pulses, of which there are eight in
each complete cycle of the engine,
four to every revolution of the crank
shaft, or one every quarter turn. The
firing alternates from side to side.
The continuous torque produces an
almost utter absence of vibration, at
both high and low speeds."
W. G. Aston, writing of the V-type
of eight-cylinder motor in the Autocar
Imperial Year Book, London, classifies
its advantages under four heads, viz:
size, weight, torque and cooling.
Under the head of size he comments
on the shortness of the construction,
which not only reduces periodic vibra
tions in the crankshaft, but affords
more space for body work on a chas
sis of standard length. No extraordi
nary length of inelt piping is required,
as the V-form cylinders lend them
selves very readily to a piping ar
rangement that enables every cylinder
to receive a practically uniform
charge of gas.
In the matter of weight, the short
ness of the V-type eight again figures,
Mr. Aston pointing out the reduction
In the length of crank case, the lighter
crankshaft and flywheel, short cam
shaft and lighter reciprocating parts
because of the comparatively smaller
size of the cylinder on a given power
basis.
As to torque, he shows by illustra
tion that the torque of the eight Is
more uniform and that additional
cylinders could do no more than in
crease the power.
The author points out that, in the
cooling system, each block of cylin
ders is treated as a unit, and the wa
ter circulation has no tendency to
form pockets around the valves.
The cylinder dimensions of the new
Cadillac engine are comparatively
small—3% inches bore and 5 % Inches
stroke—yet In repeated tests by dy
nomometer, an excess of 60 horse
power has been registered.
The cylinders are cast In two blocks
of four cylinders each, with water
Jackets, combustion chambers and In
take manifold integral. The cylinder
blocks are mounted on the crank case
at an of 90 degrees to each
other, from whence the designation,
"V type."
The cyjtnders are of the L. head
type, with all valves on the same side
of the cylinder blocks.
There is but one crankshaft, the
connecting rods of the cylinders op
posite each other being jointly at
tached. One camshaft with eight
cams is employed positioned directly
above the. crankshaft, driven by a si
lent chain from the crankshaft and
operating the valves through a series
of rocker arms provided with hard
ened steel rollers. The exhaust valves
are flat head type, made of Tungsten
steel, and the Inlet valves are tulip
Rhupe to facilitate the Intuke of gas.
The crankshaft Is 1 % inches In
diameter, of special chrome nickel al
loy steel, supported by reinforced
bronze, babbit lined bearings of lib
eral proportions. Its length is but
2fi 1-16 inches between the outer ends
of the forward and rear hearings, thus
overcoming the periodic vibration or
thrashing almost sure to result where
a long crankshaft Is used.

tributed materially to the smoothness
and absence of vibration in this en
gine, aside from fundamental prin
ciple, is the lightness of the recipro
cating purts. For example, a pair
of piston connecting rods weigh only
48 ounces, yet in the labora
tory tests it required a compression
strain of more than nine tons to bend
one of them.
A multiple disc cLutch Is employed
and the motor and transmission are
mounted as a unit, the two rear points
being bolted to the frame and the for
ward point taken care of by a ball and
socket joint.
Details of the car include left drive
and center location of the gear change
and hand brake levers, wide doors,
lighting and ignition switches located
conveniently on thw cowl board and a
pedal button in the floor for bring
ing the electric device Into action.
The advent of the new car naturally
has created extraordinary excitement
all over the country and the feeling in
the trade echoes In a large measure
the expression of W. C Leland, gen
eral manager of the Cadillac Com
pany, who Is quoted as saying:
"We believe the eight-cylinder Is
destined to change completely the
current of motor car design and
manufacture."
This is supplemented by a state
ment from Sales Manager E. C. How
ard, who says that reports from every
city and town of consequence In the
country indicate an advance sale so
unusual that it will be impossible for
the Cadillac Company, even with an
enlarged production, to satisfy the de
mand during the first twelve months.
Chalmers Working Chassis
of Light Six on Display
The Keystone Motor Car Company
have on exhibition at their place of
business in this city a complete work
ing chassis of the Chalmers Master
Light "Six" for the benefit of the
automobile buying public, being able
to see exactly Just what the co- .true- !
tion of this car is like with body 1
parts, etc., removed. In speaki g of i
the features shown Mr. Morton said:
"There are a great many features
in the construction of this car that
you will llnd the same as in Chalmers |
cars made four or five years ago. You ]
will notice that a large number of j
manufacturers have and arc still
corning to the design that the Chal- I
mers Company has had almost since
its existence. This car has proven i
the big hit of the season and affords
a great many pleasures in automobll
ing that before its existence were un- 1
heard of.
"This chassis will be on display at j
our establishment for some time and
we extend an invitation to all who '
wieh to see one of the cleanest pleecs
of construction that they have ever
seen to make a careful investigation j
of this chassis."
