Although the Haynes factory has ; employed a night shift for the past ' three months in addition to the regu- j lar day force, and the production has i been increased to 5,000 cars, the com pany finds it difficult to satisfy the demands of its dealers for cars of the "lij-ht six" type, with the result that a great many dealers have come to the factory and camped on the trail until (heir cars were shipped. And because of the large number of dealers to be j found there any one of these days, vis itors to the Haynes factory secure the impression that a sales convention is in progress. Dealer demand, of course, is created by consumer demand and it is because | of the latter that dealers from every point in the United States have come | to Kokomo in person to wait for their cars, and where the distance is not too urea,, they invariably have driven over land in preference to having the cars go j by express or freight.

Nine of these innovations stand head and shoulders above the general line of progress, while twenty other improvements —im- portant changes and refinements — unite to carry the banner of Indian superiority still further up the peak of success. All the engineering perfections which the motorcycle world has ac credited to the Indian have been re tained, and to these has been added a characteristic group of sound, new me chanical developments, such as is al ways expected of Indian skill and in genuity. Indian leadership lias never had greater exemplification than in its 1915 models: never achieved so surely and so fully; never, for all its remarkable past, mere deeply justified its position as the premier machine of its kind. For some time there has been a de sire among riders for a light-weight machine developing 10-horsepower. To meet this demand the manufacturers of the Indian have developed a light weight, twin-cylinder model of 10- horsepower, which is 75 pounds lighter than the regular twin. It is expected that this machine will prove unusually attractive to those who want a light motorcycle for city use, or who dislike the weight of the high-powered twin. One of the main features of this model is the motor construction. All the bearing and cam mechanism are identically the same size as are used in the larger twin. A specially designed roller-bearing clutch is used that amply takes care of the power and weight of the machine plus the strains and usage. The increasing use of the motor cycle for passenger side car and com mercial work has led to the new de parture in motorcycle practice—the three-speed gear. This permits of a wide variation of speed reductions ac cording to the weight of the load carried or the nature of the grades and road surfaces encountered. The Indian three-speed gear mechanism has ratios of 10 to 1, 6 to I, and 4»1, thus permitting adaptation to practically any riding conditions. This device can be attached to all models except D-l. For the Big Twin Models, which arc rated at 15 horsepower, there has been designed a new heavy-duty clutch. This is of the multiple-disc type and is fitted on the countershaft in the usual In dian manner. It is of extra heavy I TT£E DAILY FASHION HINT.

In the late afternoon the day's milk I supply is ready for city delivery, and hack goes the truck to Montreal with its load of milk cans. All in all, the Model J is in use on an average of 20 hours a day by Mr. Dupuy and his men, and needless to say its work is found vastly more efficient •md much less expensive than the old fashioned method of team hauling. The accompauving picture shows the ' Roo Model .1 at market. .construction throughout au<l will stand tlu> heaviest punishment which it will ever be called upon to take. The big I contact area of the friction surfaces, til'.B2 square inches, is not only ample j for tandem or side car work, even on the hardest roads, but for three pas sengers, if necessary. All working parts are protected from dust, oil ami jwater, and, as the dry plate system is used, intense* heat or cold have no ef fect upon the operation of the clutch. A large roller bearing carries the fric tion discs, and eight adjustable springs J regulate the tension, i An addition to the 1915 Indian models, which will be much appreci ated, is the Indian starter. This is of ithe quadrant and pinion typo and is simple yet powerful. Down pressure jon the foot lever brings the quadrant into engagement with the pinion on the clutch and turns the motor throe or four times to each stroke, the clutch being engaged to obtain positive and I full cranking effect. The starting of j the motor can be done without jacking up the rear wheel. j A new magneto, the Dixie, makes | its appearance on this year's Indians, jit is original in design, not merely a variation (if old ideas. Special felt j rings, metal coverings and ingenious ! joints make the mechanism water, dust and oilproof. This magneto is of the true high-tension or jump-spark type land is constructed in such a manner that all parts of the instrument nre 1 readily accessible for inspection. To meet the divided preferences as Jto clutch operation, the Indians this year have a dual interacting clutch control, which allows the rider his choice of hand or foot operation. The clutch operating linkage has also been simplified. What the Hendee Manufacturing Company considers one of the most far-reaching improvements in its man ufacturing facilities was the installa i'on this year of one of the most com plete metal-testing laboratories in the I nited Htates. Here the materials used in making Indian motorcycles are sub jected to the most drastic tests that can be imagined both before and after manufacture. By noting the breaking points of various materials it is possible to select, by elminination, those which are best suited for the strains they will I have to undergo in service. An im portant conclusion reached as a result of these tests was in regard to the use of chrome vanadium steel. It was found tljat this alloy so far surpasses in strength the ordinary carbon steel I for frames and forks that it was at once decided to use chrome canadium in 'tlje manufacture of 1015 models, i Riders of 1915 Indians will, there fore, have, in addition to many me chanical improvements, the assurance of stronger, more durable mounts than lever before.
