HOME OF BAYNBS IS MECCA
FOR AUTOMOBILE DEALERS
Although Running Night and Day
Shifts the Company Experiences
Difficulty in Supplying the Enormous
Demands for Popular Machine
Kokomo, Indiana, home of the
Haynes. is truly the mecea for auto
mobile dealers thi;. season, reports Geo.
F. McFarland, president and jjtueral
manager of the Harrisburg Automobile
distributor for America's
First Car.
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. A few such re
cent trips have been made as far east
us Philadelphia. west to Sioux Citv,

INDIAN BRINGS OUT MANY
NEW 1915 IMPROVEMENTS
Popular Motorcycle Has Surpassed All
Previous Yean in Number of Truly
Basic Advances In Construction and
Design
The Indian motorcycle for 1915 has
surpassed all its previous years in the
number of truly basic advances in con
struction and design. 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

to thp Montreal market. After dispos
ing of his produce, he loads tile Heo
Model J with food supplies and mer
chandise for his neighbors. On the re
turn trip to tho farm he distributes bar
j rels of flour, kega of paint and nails,
.and boxes of dry goods along his route.
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.

.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.
