INTERESTING STORY OF CANA-
DIAN COMPANY'S REVEL-
' OPMENT.
The Russell Motor Car Company
has had long experience in the sell-
ing and manufacture of ears.
Starting as agents for ether makes
of cars, this company proceeded to
build up a, plant in Canada, manu-
facturing ears in this country.
Some of the parts were purchased
abroad; others were designed and
manufactured at home. The amount
of home manufacturing steadily in-
creased. In 1910the adoption of
the Knight Motor gave a ,further
stimulus to. the business and the
company found it necessary to pro-
vide in a strong manner foa future
developments of the industry. De-
velopments in mind were the fur-
ther adoption of the sliding sleeve
in opposition to the poppet valve
motor; the adoption of left-hand
steering and centre gear and con-
trol; the adoption of electric light-
ing and self-starting.
Early in 1911 a corps of engineers
was set to work to develop a ear
that would be worthy of "Russell"
reputation. In September of that
year they were ready for a prelimi-
nary report, and taking advantage
of the unusual opportunity, engi-
neering co-operation and advice, a
conference of engineers passed upon
the preliminary plans. These were
then- worked out in further detail,
In January, 1912, this conference
met a second time, there being pre-
sent representatives of three of the
foremost manufacturing firms in
the United States and two engi-
neers from Europe, from faotories
operating under the Knight license.
After the designs had passed this
stage, experimental cars were
built and submitted to exacting
tests, upen the bench in the factory
and upon the road. Following this,
a ssaall niunber of demonstrating
cars were .put through, 90 discover
any further points of difficulty.
Then came the careful prepara-
tion of exact tools for manufacture,
so that each piece would be an. ex-
act duplicate of a similar piece in
any. other ear. These provisions,
one after the other, have been car-
ried through. To -day the Russell
Company is delivering cars design-
ed under the most advantageous
conditions of engineering and man-
mfactured with a view to the re-
quirements not only of 1913 but
1914 as well.
The Russell cox of this year is a
model on which there will be no im-
portant change for two 2sea3ons at
least.
