have been doing in the an motive

group. there is still so. much more
10senrrh and improvement to
done in this line that the automo-
bile can still be regarded as fur
from perfect. .
Several of the new car models .
are out with oil cleaners. to remove
impurities from the crankcase- oil

air cleaners to prevent the entrance
of dust with the air. Others are
equipped with hot spot manifolds
tohelp vaporize the fuel more thor-

These show the tendency of do-

Great imploxemcnt in design has
been made. to produce better com~

solution to this problem by improv-
