In addition to its high state of mechani

easiest running machine in the market.
| We make this assertion fearle.sly,
knowing whereof we state. This fea.
lure in the Falcon has been brought
about by IA reduction of friction t. the

chimes the bearings are constructed
with fifteen balls, while IN the
Falcon there aIe only niue. 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 eacl
bearing has therefore 70 points of fric
ton in performing one revolution on its
axle. The Falcon bearing being con
structed with only nine balls has conse
quently but 4j points of friction, or 81
points less in each bearing than Other
machines. Summed up briefly, in al
machines there are six axle hearings.
