sirs MS PISE IlljlTHOUfl There Is at least oQe excellent example exam-ple of a new car which has gone through a successful season's use in owner's hands, at this year's show. It is the Marmon 34, which has proved extremely popular, and, with ?.iOO made and delivered de-livered to owners during the last year, the makers feel assured that the motoring motor-ing public has learned that all claims made were quite true. The Marmon 34 is an unusual car. in that, considerable weight is saved in its construction. so that it is more than half a ton lighter than the conventionally convention-ally constructed cars of the same rUies. Forrest Crissey. the well-known writer, in dealing with the Marmon 34, says : "Perhaps It is not too much to say that the backbone of this engineer's new ideal of supreme passenger eomfnrt was the idea of a degree of rigidity never attained in a car before. He realized that, if a certain stands rd of rigidity could be achieved. the bat tie against ra ttles, squeaks and noises of evefy kind would be won and a big source of passenger discomfort dis-comfort elosed."' This fault has been overcome in the I Marmon 34, and other great improvements are noted by Mr. Crisey, who closes his article as follows: "Inspection at the Marmon plant is al- ; most an exact science. It is pushed to a point of refinement to correspond with . the tightness of design and construction i and the relentless character of the elim- i inations enforced throughout the car. v For) example, every cng of every gear is sub- i jested to an individual test for bard- i ness. Can Inspection go beyond this in i thoroughness? And this is only a fair 11- lustration of the rigidness, the completeness complete-ness with which all parts are tested. This merciless inquisition f. tarts with raw materials ma-terials and does not relax until the finished fin-ished car goes out to the customer."
