IT think the combination OF the six-cylinder
motor and fits high horsepower. with its steady
even tOrque and its controIlabiity in the densest
traffic. the high gear, with the 42-inch
jinrikisha wheels, represents the wisdom Of ages
and the evolution Of the modern motor car and We
lead now in this respect where others must surely
follow in the future.
Besides that, the six-cylinder car with its null
tiple cylinders. makes for fuel economy, Just as
the single cylinder does with its unit cylinder
because IN both cases the size OF the cylinder
volume and area is reduced and the added use Of
the big 42-inch tire while It adds to the makers
cost must reduce the ultimate cost to the user
