The lineup for 1912 remained the same as the previous year, the Russell Model R and the Russell-Knight Models 22, 26, and 38.  Electric starters were available for the first time.  This was the first full year of production by the Russell Motor Car Company, which had been formed in 1911.  A February, 1912, Ottawa Journal news item that describes a six-cylinder Russell-Knight limousine suggests that the 6 cylinder model was introduced during 1912.  (It is possible that the article references a not-yet-available car.)

Some changes for 1912:
     crank stays in the 12:00 position
     side body trim runs beneath both doors instead of around each door individually
     headlight forks mount to the fender instead of down to the frame
     front fender inside wall extends further forward to accommodate the headlight fork mount.
     Grey & Davis lights seem to be standard, oil/electric side lamps
     rear inside door handles moved down to top of door panel instead of poking up through the top of the door
     toolboxes no longer on the running board (on "38" and "26" models).  Tools under the seat
     Electric start standard on "38" and "26" models
     Control levers moved inside on the Model "30"
