Selfstarting device at automobile show captivates buyers
At Grand Central Palace the auto show spotlights a self starting device built into the Harrison car by a Michigan firm. Acetylene gas powers the system, enabling crankless starts from the seat, while a safety crank remains for emergencies. Interest grows as six cylinder models, including Napier and Rolls Royce, draw buyers, with Macdonald ordering two bodies for a Napier chassis and Edison owning a Mors chassis shown. The show closes tonight with an expected banquet by the Automobile Club of America.
