Automobile factory warnings and heat managed cars rise
Fragmentary text discusses motor car manufacturers avoiding over production. It notes heat managed manufactories and urges readers to place orders now, promising satisfaction later. Entities and specifics are unspecified due to the text’s damaged nature.
Uniformity in Autos Shown By Studebaker Testing
Engineers note that identical factory cars vary in performance due to adjustment. Studebaker tests complete chassis on an automated block test before road testing, using a self powered chassis with brake and gauges to audit gear and bearing adjustments. A London General Omnibus record shows 2,194 buses covering 66,066,235 miles in seven months despite 184 percent loss of scheduled mileage.
