Folding Steering-Wheel Locks Auto- 

 mobile and Makes It Easy to Get Out 



THE latest comfort-giving automobile 

 accessory consists of a folding steer- 

 ing-wheel which performs the dual purpose 

 of making it easy for the driver to get 

 into his seat and of locking the car in 

 place so that it cannot be steered if 

 thieves should attempt 

 to make off with it. 

 Folding steering-wheels 

 are not new; neither are 

 steering wheels that can 

 be locked. However, the 

 combination of the two 

 is a new idea of greater 

 simplicity than two sep- 

 arate devices. 



Instead of the entire 

 wheel sliding about the 

 top of the post as in 

 most folding wheels, the 

 one shown is hinged at opposite points. 

 The rear half may be swung down 

 and under to permit the driver to stand 

 erect between his seat and the wheel 

 instead of having to slide into his seat.

Carrying Automobile Sedan Parts 

 Without Rattling 



MANY of the convertible sedan auto- 

 mobile bodies carry the side window 

 and door sashes in pockets in the body 

 sides and doors. The result is consider- 

 able car rattle, especially when 

 the car is traveling over rough 

 roads. To offset these difficul- 

 ties, several manufacturers are 

 making the glass panels integral 

 with the frames so that they 

 may be entirely removed and 

 placed in a wider and roomier 

 1 compartment back of the rear 

 ' seat, as shown in one of the ac- 

 companying illustrations. 



Here is a new combination folding steer- 

 ing-wheel and steering-lock for your car 



Liberty Motor- Cycle to be Worthy 

 Follower of Liberty Airplanes 



WELL, we have the Liberty engines, 

 the Liberty airplanes, and the 

 Liberty motor-trucks. Now we are going 

 to have Liberty motor-cycles. The motor- 

 cycle is one of the most important factors 

 to the intelligence departments on ac- 

 count of its speed, handiness, and ability 

 to go where an automobile cannot. Ac- 

 cordingly arrangements are being com- 

 pleted to standardize them and turn 

 them out in vast numbers, like other 

 necessaries.
