TWo-ENGINE AUTOMOBILES.
Plans Of the Carter Motor Car Cor
poration.

The recent achievements of Mr.. H. Carter
of this city in the line Of automobile i'm
provements have attracted the attention
of motor car enthusiasts and experts 1t
is claimed by the Carter Motor Car Cor
poration. manufacturers Of the Carter two
engine car, that the inventor Of that plan
for operating an automobile has hit upon
something that is bound to revolutionize
the business.
When one engine becomes deranged, to
operate the car. it Is claimed, 1t is only
necessary to throw in a cluth and proceed
instantly on the other engine. Each en-
CINE possesses one-half of the rated horse
power and has individual ignition system,
carburettor. fabrication and clutch mechan-
ism, which is said to increase the reliability
of the motive power 100 per cent. Another
feature is said to be that when both en-
gines are working at a unit they increase
the horsepower % per cent without addi-
tional consumption of gasoline.
The idea of the double engine mechanism
for the motor car is covered by patents
and plans are said to be under way TO
build factory here within sixty DAYS in
order to fill orders that are pilling up The
offices Of the company are in the Munsey
building. The personnel Is as follows:
GARY Carter. president; j. c. Duke, Fred
erick Dodge. Edward Richard and William
Arrinson. vice presidents; Frank L. Carter.
