The principal point wherein the 10-hp. model differsfrom the 15-hp. is that it has its three-speed gearsetas a unit with the worm driven rear axle. Originally ithad a unit cast cylinder block and crankcase; but theseare now separate, the latter in aluminum. In almost every main detail the 20-hp. six-cylinder isdifferent from the 15-hp. It has its cylinders cast inthrees with integral L heads, magneto ignition, four-speed gearset, transmission brake, open propeller shaft,cantilever rear springs and wire wheels.

A Friction Band Shock Absorber A SHOCK absorber acting only on the recoil of thespring is manufactured by the Gilman-Davis An adjustable friction belt band engages with afriction drum and any tendency of the body and theaxle of the car to suddenly separate, causes a sufficienttightening of the friction belt band upon the drum tocounteract the thrust and retard the upward result is accomplished by the frictional contact be-tween the free end of the band and the drum and by theforward movement of the opposite end of the band bythe rotation of the drum. On the other hand, when body and axle approach each
