(Gazette photo) Modern Cars Literally 'Spring' Along, Thanks to Many Springs The modern motor car is a thing of quiet purring and quiet clicking, a thing of easy riding and easy rolling. Doors open and close smoothly, seats are firm but comfortable, many parts move in happy unison, and wheel assemblies take rough bumps with a minimum of bouncing, a minimum of jolting. If you were to look into this quiet clicking and easy riding, points out the National Automobile club, you would find that springs, hundreds of springs of many different designs, have a great deal to do with it all. If your car is one of an average make you would probably find some 265 coil springs in the seats, some 16 in the engine valves, about 11 in the carburetor, about function. The coils for front-end suspension, for instance, are made of precision rolled bar steel that is heated to 1700 degrees, coiled in a coiling machine, quenched in an oil bath, and then passed through an annealing furnace. After the furnace they are cooled in a water bath, are "shot peened" to give them a hard surface but a flexible core, are carefully tested as to their compression strength, and then carefully matched to make perfect pairs. And this is just one of the 180 different types of springs that go into the average car. The other types each receive an equally careful treatment-and preparation for their particular job. Their jobs, you see, are important. by unison, and wheel assemblies take rough bumps with a minimum of bouncing, a minimum of jolting. If you were to look into this quiet clicking and easy riding, points out the National Automobile club, you would find that springs, hundreds of springs of many different designs, have a great deal to do with it all. If your car is one of an average make you would probably find some 265 coll弹簧 in the seats, some 16 in the engine valves, about 11 in the carburetor, about eight in the clutch, and varying numbers in other parts of the car such as horn button, master cylinder, handles and locks. And you would find that these springs ran all the way from the tiny ones in the carburetor that weigh only 100 20/5 part of an ounce to the giant ones in the front-end suspension that weigh about 15 pounds each. You would find, moreover, that these springs differed not only in their size and shape but also in their process of manufacture. Each spring is made from a special steel and given special treatment to prepare it for its special use. Son of Local Physician Serves With Korean Outfit WITH THE 2D INFANTRY DIV. IN KOREA—Pvt.
