It is a combination of two principle that bare 'been nsed to greatest ad vantage In automobile construction First that of cantilever springs'; nee mid, the flexible three point construc tion. ' "Onlding the development of this remarkable new car waa Mr Willy's ideal of a motor car which would combine with the -economy -of light weight all the comfortable rid ing qualities 'and the stamina of the heavy and expeusive automobile. - Another interesting feature jregnrd Ing the three-point cantilever spring suspension Is the fact that these springs on the Overland 4 extend fif teen inches from a point on the chassis beyond the axles at front and rear, giving a wide diagonal' shape to the springs. The car has thus an actual spring base of I'M inches, although the car wbeeltase Itself Is only 100 Inches. Each spring flexibly responds to Its task of keeping the body and passen gers riding on a constantly even keel. Bobbing, sideways, and lurching are materially lessened. The result Is a roomy, easy-rldlng car on a new type of springs so designed as to absorb road shocks from the v worst or pave ments or roads. .
