The Russell Car.

The 1907 Model "E" Russell contains no altcation of principle, simply owing its excellence to the improvement and refining in 'all the details from radiator to rear axle, and it will be regarded as a standard type for yeais to come, As ma) be seen from our illustration, which we print thiough the courtesy oi the agents, Messis Magnus Sanderson & Co , it is more pleasing them its predeces=oi , the Model "C " ; its spring suspension (semi-elliptic springs) will give it better uding qualities, it will have more power, and quieter operation. Theie

are four vertical cylinders ; the valves are all on one side of the motor ; the bearings can be tightened without dismantling the motor , all geais are enclosed and run m oil ; lubrication is by splash , and the centrifugal water pump is of liberal capacity. The clutch is adjusted by a single nut. The transmission is of selected type, giving three speeds and reverse, all controlled by a single lever with a positive locking device keeping the gears separate. The rear axle is of the floating type, the driving pinions and all the gears are of nickel steel, the driving shaft ls-supported-on ball beatings, both above and below the pinion, and the differential is so arranged as to be lemovable without disassembling the rear axle. There are besides numerous improvements in control, dust protection, roominess, ingress, and convenience of driving.
