Show AUTOMOBILE CRITIC LAUOSJUSSELKAR Expert Tells of Fine Points of New Hundred Point Six on Market. In tloscrlhlnR the nnv Kis'aol Ilnn-drcd Ilnn-drcd Point Six tho pt1Uu of The Auto-. Auto-. mobile says In the current issue of that publication: ' Tho motor used In tho Hundred Point Six has a boro of threo and ono-qimrter inches and iu stroke of fivo inches, and dovelom 52 horsepower. horse-power. Tho bore is throo-oighths of on inch Finalter than that of tho model and tho stroke is half an inch shorter. The wheelbaso ia .117 inches, or nino inches shorter than on tho six-4t rendering pos-Ribio pos-Ribio a cousidorablo reduction, of weight throughout tho chassis, bo that thirty-two by four-inch tires are of ample size for the load. The valves are completely housed and have a ono and fivo-eigbts-inch clear opening. Special lightened annealed an-nealed iron is used in the pistona and they arc balanced to one-half, ' an ounce before grinding. Leak-proof Leak-proof type rings of gray iron eev-eral eev-eral degrees softer than tho cvlin-v cvlin-v ders minimize wear on the cylin-Y cylin-Y ders. Tho timing gear construction makes use of one pressed Fahroil gear working between two steel helical gears. The Fabroi gear is instituted both to give the highest decree of wear and guard against noise. Lubrication is by combina- - tion force feed to the main crank shaft and splash to the connecting rods and pistons. Tho number of grease cups on the motor is reduced to two, as oil bolts are substituted -V at all lubricating points except at the circulating pump. The differential case is a malleable malle-able casting and all differential parts are interchangeable. High carbon strip steel is used in the side rails of the frame, which is designed to frive absolute rigidity and freedom from weave. Rattling and sprung doors are eliminated by this construction. The side members mem-bers are narrowed to permit a .short - turning radius. The distinctive floating rear axle, with its design permitting casv adjustment of all bearings and of the pinion and ring gears, is retained re-tained without change except for size reduction. The elimination of internal brakes has as a purpose the riddance of rattling rods and levers. A new feature is the institution of oil bolts throughout the chassis A in place of the conventional grease cups. These bolts are wicked from the bearing surface to a drilled hole . through the center. The end is capped with a hole. To lubricate the bearing, wherever it may be, it is only necessary to twist the cap until the holes in the cap and tho bolt match up and squirt in lubricant from an oil can. There are only two grease cups to fill on ' " tho . chassis. Uemy ignition and generator and Kiysel starter -with Bendix drive screw inclosed in a housing in conjunction con-junction with a Williard battery make up the electrical system. The transmission is of the selective typo, with three speeds forward and reverse. re-verse. The main shaft is mounted on large annular ball bearings. The floating rear axle has spiral bevel gears., Pinion and driving gears can be adjusted without disassembling ' the other parts. Timken bearings are used throughout. Drive and torque are taken through the rear springs with the Hotchkiss principle of drive. - Some of the other features of the - no"w Kissel model are: Big door openings, extra deep upholstery of leathor, cushion springs and curled hair. The driver s seat is adjustable adjust-able to any length of reach and the Indicating instruments are mounted in a utraight line on the cowl board. A pedal button is iiBed to start the enifinn. Tho body is mounted over a felt 'Uing on ihe frame, which is vcrv umip and constructed in such a way that it will not deflect and oauBO tho doors to work loose and rattle. The body is given twenty-two twenty-two finishing operations, being of twenty-gauge, silver finish sheet metal. |
