In addition to its high state of mechani
cal perfection the Falcon is BY far the
easiest running machine in the market.

,ure IN the Falcon has been brought
about by reduction of friction Il the
lowest possible point. I'm other ma-
chimes the bearings are constructed
with fifteen balls, while in the
Falcon there are only nine. In the
Falcon the bearings are 10 constructed
/ that the balls have only two points Of
contact IN their track, while in most
other machines there are -four. In all
machines each ball will touch at five
points in one revolution of itself.
A whe, with fifteen balls in each
bearing has therefore 75 points Of fric
ton in performing one rev luton on its
axle. The Falcon bearing being con
structed with only nine balls has conse-
quently but Do points of friction, or 80
points less in each bearing than other
machines. Summed up briefly, in all
machines there are six axle bearings.
Take wheel of another make, six

points of contact each bearing. 2i(
Thus making a saving of---------- 1SC
points of friction in favor of the Falcon
over other machines.
This is not all but then we cannot tel

the Falcon for yourself. when we can
