spiral bevel gears, and each drive shaft has a universal 

 joint at each end. The left of two short levers on the 

 transfer case enables the driver to engage or disengage the 

 front shaft, while the rear remains engaged. The right of 

 the two levers enables a low- or high-gear ratio to be se- 

 lected within the transfer case. The selective transmission 

 provides three speeds forward and one reverse, the operat- 

 ing lever being located to the right of the two short levers. 



The final drive to the two front wheels is by a shaft and 

 universal joint at each end of the front-axle housing. The 

 steering is of the conventional worm and follower type, 

 with the tie bar connecting the two front-wheel spindles 

 located in front of the axle. Four-wheel hydraulic brakes 

 are provided, the right pedal actuating the master cylinder. 

 The left pedal operates the disk clutch located between the 

 engine flywheel and the transmission. The parking-brake 

 lever is mounted beneath the left end of the instrument 

 panel. Each of the four brake drums is mounted on two 

 tapered roller bearings, while each of the two front-axle 

 kingpins is similarly supported. 



The 4-passenger body is constructed entirely of metal. 

 No doors are provided, the passengers climbing over the low 

 sides to enter. Safety straps are installed at the outer side 

 of each front seat. No rear fenders exist, the wide body 

 at the rear extending over the rear wheels. A folding 

 windshield with shatter-proof glass is supplied. A hand- 

 operated windshield wiper is in front of the driver. A 

 rear-view mirror is attached to the windshield base on the 

 left. The radiator is protected by a grillwork of vertical 

 bars in the front. Bumpers are provided, front and rear. 

 The hood is of the "clam shell" variety, hinged at its back 

 and latched with a single latch at the front. The gasoline 

 tank is beneath the rear seat. Provision is made for a fire 

 extinguisher under the right, front seat. A collapsible top 

 is composed of easily removed pipe framework and canvas. 



Headlights are mounted on each fender at the front, 

 with a small auxiliary light for blackout use next to each. 

 They are protected by a small grillwork. The dimmer 

 switch for the headlights is button-operated by the driver's 

 foot and is located between the clutch and brake pedals.
