PACKARD AUTOMOBILE'S - THE EARLY YEARS Pt 4

From the William Cary Collection

In addition to a hand brake, our automobiles are fitted with our new rim brake, which is not dependent on any other mechanism. The rim brakes are operated by an auxiliary foot lever.

We use a special nickel steel roller chain, which :ept under the same tension for the different jackets by a simple but effective device. Single tube tires are used, but others may substituted if desired. Frame is of channel iron bent to shape. A three-spoked aluminum steering wheel is used.

the material entering into the construction of the vehicle is perfect, but also that we may be positive that every automobile sent out will work smoothly in every part, and will behave properly under all conditions.

The body of the carriage is finished in the best possible style ; only the highest grade of coach work and upholstering being employed. The result is that
Packar automobiles are perfect in appearance, as well as in point of construction and operation.

CONSTRUCTION MODEL " F."
In this model the essential features of Model " C" art: regained There are, however, several changes and it is to these we call attention.

Wood wheels with 4-inch clincher tires are used. All wheels are 34 inches in diameter. l:ront wheels and live rear axle are fitted with special Baker ball bearings. The wheel base of the machine is seven feet from center to center of axle, while the body sets much lower than is usual with American machines.

A most ingenious system of spring suspension is used on the rear axle and a simple link device for holding front axle in place. Thus the necessity of distinct under-frame for the carriage is done away.

Three direct geared speeds ahead are provided, and one reverse. Both lever and pedal clutch-control arc fitted. Only one clutch of improved form and of very large working suriace is used. As in Model " C " all gears run in an oil bath, the
engine crank is also encased. The form of wheel steeris fitted

Individual seats or the ordinary single seat will be supplied at option. Detachable rear seat can also be supplied.
The carriage is painted bright red with red leather upholstering. Painting and upholstering, however, can be varied to suit customers' tastes.
Model " F" has been given a thorough trial during

the past season and is recommended as being especially adapted for all around use on American roads. It is a development of Model " C," and was gotten out in response to the demand for a machine of extreme simplicity, but one which, at the same time, would stand the hardest sort of cross-country work.
