An improvement made on the automobile jack, telescope-like invention of E.W. Conrad and William Bodkin, has been perfected in the past few days and the new model will be shown at the Chicago auto show. The improvement enables the jack to be placed under cars or objects which have a clearance of only five inches. Other jacks often are 10 to 12 inches high, too high for use under many cars.
