The front axle is an alloy steel forging, and the steer-ing knuckles are of the inverted Elliott type, with thepivot axes inclined so as to meet the ground at the cen-ter point of tire contact. The steering arms are fixed tothe knuckles in a very secure manner. A flange is forgedon the steering arm, which abutts a similar flange on thetop of the steering knuckle, and the two flanges are bolte;l 600 AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRIESTHE AUTOMOBILE March 17, 1921.

The generator, which is of the Lucas make, is drivenfrom the front of the gear box by a leather link V belt tension can be adjusted by means of a nut lo-cated on the outside of the frame. Voltage control isby the third brush system. A pressure of 12 volts isemployed and the wiring is on the insulated return prin-ciple, except, of course, as regards the ignition switch box, located on the instrument board, con-tains the battery cut-out switch, lamp switches, genera-tor field fuses, charging switch, terminals for the genera-tor, battery and lamp connections and a socket for aninspection lamp. A junction box is fitted to the frontof the dash on the right-hand side. The cables leadingfrom this junction box are inclosed in aluminum con-duits or troughs bolted to the fr
