Caption reads: Hones Smoother Than Any Razor. Constant improvement in surface smoothness of crankshaft bearings accounts for the greater oil economy of modern motor cars. Far smoother than glass is the Plymouth Roadking crankshaft turned out by this new automatic hone, which produces a surface flawless within six one-millionths of an inch. Chrysler Corporation is first to introduce this precision device in the auto industry.
