ONE generation automotive engineering has revolutionized civilized life. Yet many of the fundamentals of the science are older than the Christian era.

The spiral bevel gears, which Packard developed and was the first to use commercially, are based on the principle of Archimedes' screw-in use 2,000 years ago. Today these gears are found in nearly every motor car except the very lowest priced.

They are but one example of the hundreds of advanced steps Packard has pioneered in the 28 years it has held engineering leadership. For Packard engineering no less than Packard beauty of line has been widely imitated.

The greatest achievements of Packard engineers and designers are the new Packard Six and Packard Eight-the finest, the most beautiful and the greatest performing cars Packard has ever built.
