In addition TO its high state of mechani
cal perfection the Falcon is by far the
easiest running machine in the market.
We make this assertion fearle- sly,
knowing whereof we state. This fea-
ure IN the Falcon has been brought
about by a reduction OF friction Il the
lowest possible point. In other ma
chimes the bearings are constructed
with fifteen balls, while in the
Falcon there ale only nine. In the
Falcon the bearings are 80 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 wheel with fifteen balls in each
gearing has therefore 10 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 45 points of friction, or 80
,'uints less in each bearing than other
machines. Summed up briefly, in all
machines there are six axle bearings.
Take wheel of another make, six
bearings each containing 10 balls. and
