From Escanaba So Far This ear Not one cargo of iron ore ha- been shipped down the lakes from 1 Kscanaba so far this year, and only one cargo wa shipped from the Lake Superior district in April, a fact almost unprecedented in the history of the industry. Last year to May 1 there had en 560,043 tons of ore shipped from Kscanaba. This year there i as been none.

Two chassis improvements among a number worked out hy Studebaker engineers arc self-adjusting and a redistribution of weight that promises to revolutionize conceptions of riding comfort. New Styling New Comfort New Safety New Performance in the New 1947 Studebaker! Heralded as the first "fully tested revolutionary new" automobiles in more than five years, 1947 Stude- bakers were announced to the public today. "These cars have been re-engineered from the road up," said a statment Paul G. Hoffman, president of the company. "In bodies and chassis, they take full vantage of design and production advancements which accumulated during the war period As the first genuine postwar automobiles, they embody progress in all major aspects of motoring.

But from tlie standpoints of appearance, roadability and safety they set entirely new standards." HIGHSPOTS OF THE 1947 STUDEBAKERS: RIDING COMFORT "Cradled Lower center of gravity. Floating spring mounts. Softer springs. Spacious interior dimensions. STYLING Speed -line contours.

Bodies much lower. Passenger compartment much broader. Wide-vis- lon windows. Fenders absorbed into bodies. Air-foil grilles.

Richly tailored interiors SAFETY full-power brakes Phenomenally increased vision Stronger, box-section frames glare, black light "cockpit" instrument illumination. Greater sureness and ease of handling. Although powei trains remain fundamentally the same in principle, the performance of the cars has been bettered by many chassis refinements that also add to durability and smoothness. Connecting rod bearings are new and of an interchangeable type. A short, two section propellor shaft replaces the conventional elongated member.

New wide rim and wider tires reduce tire wear. In a re arrangement of power plant accessories, engineers have taken a leaf from their experience with the war renowned Weasel, which concentrated the plant in a minimum of space. Additionally, many engine accessories have been re located for increased seiv- icing convenience. Improvements in riding characteristics of the new cars are described as "revolutionary These are due to a combination of advances notably, re-distribution of weight, re designed frames, revised spring mountings, and softer springs. As part of the scion tific re-distribution of weight, both the passenger compartment and the engine have been moved forward.

The center of engine weight is now cushion-mounted virtually over the front spring suspension. Passengers are cradled in the zone where road irregularities will be least felt. "Pitch" has been reduced to a vanishing point. Better lateral and longitudinal stability enhances comfort and the feeling of confidence. The new braking system is an important "first" in trans portation.

It obviates the necessity for brake shoe adjustments. It assures drivers of firm, quick stops throughout the life of the brake lining. The secret lies in a small mechanism that moves the brake shoe outward in steps of 005 of an inch. This is a far finer adjust ment than can be effected manually. The body design, wind tunnel tested at the famed University of Michigan aeronautical laboratory, is the creation of Raymond Loewy, internationally known designer.

It skillfully combines functionalism and beauty. An astute application of curved windows and rounded metal surfaces and a smaller frontal area diminishes wind resistance at highway cruising speeds. By extending bodies outward to the former fender lines and moving passenger compartments forward, the design engineers achieved a dual advantage Seats have been amazingly broadened, in some instances as much as ten inches. Further, the subordination of fenders has imparted a moulded unity of line never previously achieved in automotive design. Height of the cars is only a fraction over five feet, which enhances over all beauty lines.

Head room has not been sacrificed. There is markedly more knee room in fiont seats. The center of gravity, a vital element in driving safety, is lower. Thrs results from dropping the mid section of the frame. At the same time, by moving the passenger compartment 11 inches further forward to a position inches ahead of the rear axle, seats have been re located close to the center of longitudinal balance.

Re-distribution of weight, both vertically and horizontally, has been a prime influence in the notable improvement in the quality of the ride and stability. An immense increase in visibility is apparent in all body types. It is especially striking in the five passenger coupes. In this body the windshield and rear window offer double the glass area of the earlier series. Drivers and passengers can obtain unobstructed views in all directions.

Champion windshield area has been increased 144 square inches, rear window area in sedans, 239 square inches. Body detail shows a careful regard for convenience and beauty. Outside door handles are of a new pull to type. Interior hardware is designed for minimum protuberance. A pistol -grip parking brake is located in the center just below the dash and ad jacent to the ignition key.

A new angle in the steering column promises less fatigue on long trips. Seats are fully adjustable lo stature of drivers Rich Canda and Bedford upholstery cloth, deep cushioning and arm rests on all doors are among other features. The aircraft influence on instrument paneling is pronounced. Unique "cockpit" lighting illuminates jumbo sized dials. This lighting, now known as "black light," was developed during the war when scientists took over the study of aircraft instrument panel glare.

By a new light and the treatment of markings on the stalments, a luminosity was perfected that gave no glare. Application ot this innovation to automobiles assures safer, moro restful night time driving. Both Champions and Commanders are offered in the 1947 series. Supplementing two and foui door sedans and business coupes is an entirely new treatment of five passenger coupes, convertibles and a Champion station wagon A spec ial four door, long wheelbase Commander, known as the Land Cruiser, is another innovation in the Studebaker line. Champions and Commanders are again available in two series.

In prewar years these were called "Custom" and The two series being produced for 1947 aie known as "Deluxe" and "Regal The 1947 Deluxe series of all Champion and Commander models are comparable in equipment, appointments and styling to the Deluxe series of formei years, while the 1947 Regal Deluxe series surpass in style and luxury treatment any standards heretofore found outside the highest price field In re distributing the weight, the head, six cylinder Champion engine has been moved nine inches further forward over the fiont suspension It develops 80 horsepower at 4,000 RPM. Commander engines develop 94 horsepower at 3,600 RPM. These power plants cue also of head, six cylinder design. Two advantages are manifest from the two section propeller shaft design. The two sections meet at an angle in a rubber- mounted amidship bearing in the center of the frame, obviating the floor tunnel in the rear compartment that would be required with a single shaft.

In operation, the "whip" commonly associated with elongated propeller shafts has been avoided. The box section frame is one of the strongest ever produced by the industry. Not only does it have extreme rigidity, especially in a longitudinal direction, but its shape is new. Kick-ups at both the front and rear ends make possible a low. flat mid section.

The planar suspension, which Studebaker pioneered, gets engineered, softer, more efficient springs and a revised front mounting that enhances riding comfort. In earliei design, the spring served at a structural member. The ends of the laterally mounted springs were anchored to shackle pins. With the new type, spring ends "float" on rubber cushions. The weight of the body and engine receives the full benefit of spring flexibility.

Self adjusting, self-centering brakes are an important contribution to motoring. The action is due to two new and related mechanisms, the self centering mounting and the contact control. A wedge- shaped arm presses against the eccentric as a graphite bronze contact plug, placed in the surface of the lining area on the front shoe, makes contact with the brake drum. The contact device controls a spring mounting which moves the shoe outward in steps of .005 of an inch as the lining wears. The new mechanism not only takes care of brake shoe adjustments automatically, but the constantly corrected clearance enhances safety.

As an aid to even greater driving security braking areas have been increased. The Champion's broader wheel rims and 15x5.50 tire sizes (15 6.50 on the Commanders) offer distinct tire wear and more effective road contacts. The new tires have seven ribs, whereas former models had six ribbed tires. PETERSON JAC03SEN AUTO SERVICE 1924 Ludington Street Escanaba, Michigan.
