A little multiplication, taking account of the eight-hour eight-hour day and the duration of past yearly manufacturing manu-facturing periods, shows that George Marshall has operated an average of 432 cars each working work-ing day, or a total of something like 1,210,000 cars. 1 45 ' - ' '.

It remained for Chrysler to develop a machine that gives exact data on what previously had to be left partly to guesswork. The previous practice prac-tice was to make visual and manual inspections, tut In spite of the utmost care, some bodies were too leaky and others too tight. ; Obviously a leaky body Is one that creates drafts, that permits the entrance of dust, and that prevents the proper and efficient effici-ent functioning of the heater regardless re-gardless of Its design or capacity. capaci-ty. On the other hand a body that was so tight that It prevented pre-vented the entrance of the proper prop-er amount of fresh air and the egress of foul air would be both uncomfortable and dangerous. By means of its new device, Chrysler Chrys-ler is now able to tell scientifically scientifi-cally Just exactly the amount of air passing through the , body when, all windows and doors are work in 1926, I regarded the cars of that year the very ultimate ulti-mate in beauty and comfort. But the following . season I found the engineers had overtaken my notions with further Improvements: Improve-ments: they have been doing that ever since, and will go on doing it. I am sure." " closed, t With the data at hand, it is possible to make production corrections which will eliminate the most frequent causes for complaint before the car is released re-leased by the factory. The new Chrysler device was developed in the laboratories of the engineering division of the Chrysler Corporation. The device is universally : adaptable to all body models, rapid in operation, and exact in its findings. A car window is lowered part way and a matched section of ' glass is sealed - in position over the opening. open-ing. Through this glass section, a funnel is connected to a motor-driven motor-driven suction fan which draws air from the interior of the car. Alongside the funnel there is an Ellison vacuum gauge which indicates in-dicates the resulting vacuum as the suction fan draws air from the interior of the body. , For the car to tie acceptable, the gauge reading must show a minimum of : one-Inch of water vacuum, ; which : represents the normal difference in air pressure between the inside and , outside of the . car body , at a speed of 60 miles an hour. riTCIIER, CRIPPLED, STILL, TRIES ; . : CHICO, Cal.

Greater Performance-Greater Performance-Greater performance, . endurance endur-ance and economy are dramatically dramati-cally highlighted by. the 1 121 new official American Automobile Association As-sociation records for performance perform-ance . and endurance captured by the 1940 Hudsons in addition to new economy marks also official ly supervised by AAA officials. Refinements and new features in -interior luxury are also noted in all the 1940 Hudson cars. New fabrics, new fitments, a new style of upholstery and massive new pillowy seat construction meet the eye, along with new front end styling that reflects the latest trend towards horizon-al horizon-al motifs in design. -1 - ... ' New safety features continue.. Added for 1940 are the new sealed beam headlamps, adopted by the industry generally new directional safety signals, increased in-creased front and rear vision and a new,, heavier armored X-type ; frame. . Hudson's exclusive dash-locking 6af ety hood, hinged at the front to prevent being blown open by the wind, and locked at the dash to prevent theft of engine parts, is further improved for 1940. This new bonnet extends over to the fenders and .includes the catwalks, cat-walks, providing unusual accessibility accessi-bility -to the motor. ; Hudson's patented double-safe hydraulic, brakes and auto-poise control, also patented, appear on all new 1940 Hudson cars. Both of these features are exclusive with Hudson and represent, engineers en-gineers claim, the latest trend in automotive safety engineering in the development of mechanical sentries of safety that help the driver do the safe thing quickly in emergencies. f?
