Vauxhall 23-60
[4] The 23-60's standard tourer Kington body was described as "preserving that greyhound look so characteristic of the Vauxhall car".
The 23-60 remained in production until the introduction of the ultra-smooth six-cylinder Burt-McCollum type single-sleeve-valve Vauxhall 25-70 was announced in October 1925.
[1] The hood is of the all-weather type and its door sections are carried in an envelope stored behind the back squab.
[1] The nearside of the engine carries the generator and magneto, the carburettor and its water-heated induction pipe with a proper hot-spot and the vacuum tank on the dash.
The offside of the engine has the starter, steering-box, exhaust manifold, oil-dipper gauge and oil filler.
In a four-cylinder engine unbalanced secondary forces occur twice in each crankshaft revolution.
The multiplate clutch is run with graphite and coupled by a fabric joint to the 4-speed gearbox then to the spiral-bevel driven rear axle located by torque girders[1] The chassis with its mechanicals was guaranteed for three years.
"Four-wheel braking with independent rear-wheel braking on a different set of drums."
"The compensating or balancing mechanism of the Vauxhall front brakes is easily understood. A is the pedal brake-rod, which through the pin B turns or twists the cross-piece C, to which at opposite ends are attached the cables that work the brake shoes.
The pin B, as it is free to incline slightly, finds the true centre immediately there is the slightest resistance, and thus the shoes on each side come into action simultaneously and with equal power."
