.Fryer Machine Works, local
distributors for the new Ford
cars has been doing an excellent
business in Petersburg this
spring. A new delivery car is be
ing delivered this week to Russell
York the new proprietor of the
Citizen’s Steam Laundry. A new
demonstration car will be on the
job in a few days,
i One of the features of the new
Fords which has appealed par
ticularly to Petersburg people,
largely on account of the nature
of our roadways, is the Ford
i transverse springs. The riding
quality of any car depends to a
great extent upon the ratio of
the sprung weight' to the un-1
sprung weight. “That sounds a
little complicated, I know, but
it really is quite simple,” Mr.
Fryer explained. “It is some-1
thing every motor car owner
should understand. The sprung
weight is that which is carried
above the spring and the un
sprung weight is that carried!
below the springs. The less the1;
unsprung weight in proportion)
The sprung weight, the easier’
riding the car will be. If the
weight below the spring is un-;
usually heavy, or out of propor-j
lion to that above, it imparts ■
road shocks with greater force,
thus lessening riding comfort. !
“Tlie outstanding advantage
cf the Ford-designed transverse
spring is that it rests on the
flexible ends with the heavy part i
■f the spring uppermost. There
fore all road shocks are impart-1
ed to the most sensitive part of
the spring instead of the middle,
thus reducing to the minimum
the hammerlike blows of road!
impacts. !
“Ford springs are made of the
finest steel. The leaves are wide
and, following the most modern
practice, are thin, giving the
springs the flexibility essential
to easy riding quality and long
life of the car.
