P The Coming of a GREAT ENGINE iMffiakes High Pozver Out of Lozv Grade Gas - Men who drive cars are face to face with a condition that becomes more and more 'serious each day. That condition is the constantly de clining grade of gasoline. Nearly every engineer has said goodby ' forever to high-grade gas. For the moment, and possibly for all time, multi-cylinders, counter balanced crankshafts, and little tricks with valves give way in engineers' discussions to the u, 'gas problem' Every alert engineer is bending his utmost to make "one drop of gas now do the work of two". . Just as great situations produce gTeat men, so out of this condition has come a great engine. x It is a Chalmers. It'makes high power out of low grade gas. Compared with other engines of the same size or thereabouts, it shows: More pov.er More rapid acceleration Greater economy Greater length of life 1 Greater smoothness , And an amazing ability to start quichly on a cold day, and to "warm up" without delay. The Chalmers engine is a simple one. That is one reason why it is so good. In many engines of the moment the gas passes on its way from the carburetor to the cvlinder through a tunnel, which runs all the way through the engine block. Before the gas gets to the cylinder it is forced to turn many sharp angles and does not become completely mixed the air. This results in raw gas running into not only one but all the cylinders, particularly when the car is cold, and especially when running for the first five or ten miles. In the case of the Chalmers engine this type of intake manifold has been com pletely eliminated. A new manifold, termed "The Rams--horn," has been constructed of simple pip ing. It is on the exterior of the engine. It is a manifold of easy curves so that there are no sharp corners for the raw gas to lodge against and be pushed into the cylinders. The next development was to give the gas the proper amount of heat after it came from the carburetor. What is termed a "hot plate" is built in at the top of the throat of the carburetor sp that the gas coming straight up from th&ca buretor hits the "hot plate", the dimensions of which have been worked out very scien tifically, and then passes around the easy curves of the smooth manifold in a perfect state of mixture and at the proper tempera ture to each of the cylinders. The case of this Chalmers engine has been proved. 1. On August 1 and 2, Joe Dawson drove a Chalmers equipped with this same engine 1,898 miles in 24 hours faster and farther than anyone ever before had traveled on land, sea or air. If there's a flaw in pattern, or part, a solid day of bitter, brutal speed will find it. 2. There are over 1,000 Chalmers containing this engine now in use. . They check up past all expectations. Therefore, the Maxwell Motor Com pany, which has leased The Chalmers Motor Company, has put its O. K. on this engine, and accordingly on the Chalmers car. 90 per cent of any automobile is the engine; and no car can be a bit better than its engine. . - . . So you are safe in writing your check for a Chalmers.
