They're Deadly Foes to
Gas Waste the Chalmers
Hot Spot and Ram'sHbrn
Manifold
These are days when the sagacious person is cutting out all forms
of waste in his shop and in his home. T j' . ..
No doubt a condition that has sent thousands to see the new Chalmers
with its two great devices that Hooverize gas.
One of them is the now noted Hot Spot, which cracks up and heats
up the raw ga's into a cooked condition for wonderful power results.
The other is the Ram's-Horn Manifold, which of the two is prob
ably an even greater device.
For it takes the gas vapor from the Hot Spot and carries it 14 inches
equi-distant to each cylinder without sharp turns, angles or pockets where
the vapor might lodge.
So that at the moment of sparking, the gas is (like the charge in a
large projectile) ready for 1009 results.
There's so little that comes out of the exhaust in the form of un
burncd gas as to he negligible.
All tlie power goes into the crank-shaft and out of the rear wheels.
And such a soft, luring power that it casts a spell of intense satisfaction
tho moment your foot touches the accelerator.
