"There was much gratification
among the makers over the eminently

it is interesting to note that the ilaynes •

MANY EUROPEAN FEATURES
Worm Drive Six in Jeffery Line—
Named After Lord Chesterfield
Because of Style
lust season the automobile industry!
was made to blink by the appearance
of a four-cylinder car on the American
market, embodying a great many of the
proven and accepted European fea
tures. most prominent of which was the
high spee.i, high efficiency block type
motor.
This car was the Jeffery "Four"
ami it numbered among its other Eu
ropean features, imported annular ball
bearings, the Daimler leather coupling
• which had never before been used in
' this country, ami a Rothschild designed
' body similar to those which he exhibit
ed at the ljomtou and Paris Shows.
The irew Jeffery Chesterfield "Six''
1 is right now creating an equal amount
ot' comment be-'ause it looks like a
Peugeot or a Pelnge and is the first
j moderate priced American car to in
-1 corporate the worm drive silent rear
j ax'e.
It is said that fifty per cent, of the
' cars in England are using worm drive
' rear axles and that France and Ger
| manv are rapidly taking it up. The
(claims made for the worm drive would
seem to be substantiated by its silent,
I smooth and efficient operation and eeon
' omy of fuel. The worm and pinion be
\ ing constantly in contact eliminates the
jerks incident to starting or changing
gears.
; IjorJ Chesterfield lias been honored
;in the naming of the new Jeffery
I "Six'' because this manufacturer tig
lures that the days when a man referred
•to his motor ear as a machine have
passed, aud that henceforth the suc
cessful manufacturer will build instead
I a style carriage.
Both the front and touneau seats
; are tilted hack so as to give a most
restful position for long drives. The
upholstery is so designed as to shape
, itself to the curves of the human body
aud give support where it is 'most
', needed.
