THOMAS FLYER.
Examination Shows First-Class Condi-
ton After 1000 Mile Trip.

One of the most interesting events that
has taken place in automobile circles
here in some time was the tearing down
of the motor of the Thomas Flyer which,
during January, broke all nonstop motor
records and then made an overland trip
from New York to Chicago. arriving n:
the latter city in time for the automobile
show at the Coliseum. Prior to that
time the motor had run continuously for
q days, 3 hours and % minutes or over
507 hours, breaking the previous worlds
record by over 3G1 hours and afterward
establishing, in the cross country run a.
record for reliability that stands alone.
In addition to the officials of the E. r.
Thomas Motor Company a number of
members of the Automobile Club Of Buff
fllo who were interested in seeing the
condition of the motor We're present.
This was the first opportunity there had
been for looking the engine over since
it was in the Coliseum at Chicago dur
ing the show there and at its conclusion
was shipped to Buffalo where it was on
exhibition during the show there.
The compression was first tested and
found to be an average of 66 pounds for
the four cylinders, the normal compress
sion of a Flyer motor being between s.
and 20 pounds. When the cylinders had
been removed their interiors were as
smooth as glass. showing the 7000-m!le
run the car has had since it left the fac
