#**» Reo is a truly Beautiful Car m A m fgßgS m A m .'•‘.o t m WS- • > SMITH REO FLYING CLOUD Norman (“Wiiard”) Smith has just earned lasting fame with his spectacular achievement in breaking tht world’s 10-mile speed record in New Zealand. He chose the Reo ’’Flying Cloud” for his personal om. “Wizard” Smith’s letter speaks for itself:— Reo has the smart, conservative lines you usually find only in the most expensive cars—the kind of beauty that does not demand radical yearly body changes* REO MOTORS, Ltd., Queen Street, Palmerston North. NiZ: Distributors: A. B. DONALD, LTD., Auckland. Reo Motor’ £ai* Co., Lansing, Michigan. “Almost every day I drive a different make of car, among them the moil expensive products of the world s leading manufacturers. Just before Christmas' 1 was asked to drive a new model made by one of the world’s oldest motor car builders. It was claimed for this car that its new transmission system made motoring more pleasant, and gear changing so simple that the novice could change gears at any speed with that absence of clashing achieved only by long years of driving experience with the ordinary typo of gear box. Furthermore, the second gear was as silent as top. It seemed too good to be true, and I expected something quite different in driving experience when I was invited to take this new car for a run. My expectations were fully realised—the silent second transmission of the new REO "Flying Cloud" is undoubtedly one of the greatest improvements made to the modern car. It takes the bug-bea? out of driving in traffic. The acceleration in this car can be made positively violent. The maximum speed of 5 7 miles per hour in second gear enables one to take advantage of every opening in congested traffic. There is an entire absence of noise, and, in my opinion, the silent second gear, coupled with excellent brakes, makes the REO "Flying Cloud” one of the safest cars on the road—at all times it is completely under control of the driver, and the flexibility is such, particularly in second, that one would prefer to drive in this gear in traffic. The gear change is a revelation in smoothness——the second and top gears are in constant mesh, and change from one to the other is effected by means of a dog clutch. The throw of the gear lever is very short indeed, and its close position to the steering wheel makes it possible to change from second to top, or top to second, without removing the left hand from the wheel—-a flick of the finger is all that is necessary to effect the change. At any speed it is possible l to make a silent change, either up or down, with the utmost! ease. The impression gained when changing from top t<p second on a hill without the necessity of observing those golden rules of gear changing, which must be followed with the ordinary type of gear box, is rather startling—it is only necessary to depress the clutch and push the lever straight forward to make a silent clutch. Double declutching and revving of the engine is not necessary with the "Flying Cloud.'* As to top gear performance, the new "Flying Cloud” is remarkably fast. Numerous tests have proven that this car is capable of speeds of about 80 miles per hour, and these givo an absence of fuss or bother, that lessens the speed sensation* The 80 horse power engine under the bonnet enables file to cover most hills encountered in ordinary touring in top gear. Petrol consumption is surprisingly low—the "Flying Cloud’* ready for the road, but without passengers, weighs nearlyJ6c wt.. yet testa have proven it to be capable of mileages of over 20 to the gallon of petrol. jgn During my visit to New Zealand to make the attemp>|ip en the Australasian Mile and 10 Mile World's Speed Record 1 chose a ’’Flying Cloud” Master Sedan for my personal v*»' and my experience with this particular car has good impression 1 gained from my first run in onpf*f these remarkably efficient all-round performers. The all-round excellence of the "Flying Cloud's" Performance, quite apart from the special features which in a class apart, warrants every prospective car buyer's -Meat investigation, and, in my opinion, the more experience' the prospective purchaser be, the greater will be his apprecia ,on of this really fine car.” REO (HUG COJD WITH. losm SICOND GOOD/r-v lonnnn
