adium steel the expensive steel the world and the
toughest known 1t is impossible obtain the results
with any other steel Although it is made feature in the
specifications of several makers other is it used
absolutely as in the FORD
Vanadiu an alloy melted into the crude STEEL adds to
tensile strength specialization crumbng of the
steel anc gives added elasticity that found any other
steel Vanadum Steel is stronger than chromencke Steel
manganese steel, or any other kind of steel.
All steel able withstand heavy load the with
the vibration shock steel girder which helps hold
great building will perform faithfully long there is little
vibration, but it will quickly break if subjected unusual
vibration shock Automobile steel under vibra
tional strain torsiona strain shock Vanadum Steel has
greater strength withstand such This is the
for the strength of the FORD Model T.
Gears ae shafts springs levers and every strain load
bearing part of the FORD Model is of Vanadum Steel This
the secret of the ghnes and strength of the FORD With
such steel it only necessary make parts oneh the
size of ordinary automobile and still have them stronger
This best of all special steels is further strengthened by
scientific heat in the FORD heat treating plant
After spent 100000 in search for the best steel
spent thousands in equppng the complete heat
treating plant possible This heat brings the axis
of moecuIe of the steel parallel that of its neghbo
Clamps the thousands of molecules into compact strain
resisting mass defying capitalization.
Every bearing steel part of FORD Model scen-
thcay treated in this upodate and modern plant by pass
ing through from three four equipped with electrical
ueVCes MOI treated
each part from cransaft fender CA FORD may
be lifted from the ground by its fender irons)
Strains Shocks torsiona strain and
vibration Pvots necessarily differently treated than shaft
drives because of the deren of the strain which
they subjected Just each FORD Model part
quires certain predetermined of Vanadum does
each piece call for different heat for longer or
shorter We get the maximum results from very
steel which money can buy.
When piece of Vanadum Steel is placed in FORD car,
is perfect human hands and brains make it. Out
of every shipment of steel three pieces selected
and subjected chemical analysis before the shipment is
marked fit for heat treatment There FIVE the
steel before is machned and inspection after every
chine operation.
sOsss FORD this minute proving durability
and economy of FORD construction. 5o358 FORD owners
know that the FORD is built light and yet strong that it
FORD and will continue be the avorie and fore
amongst all motor
The FORD Model weighs 1900 pounds possessing
horsepower for each 90 pounds The touring
possesses horsepower for each pounds 2oopound
takes less power than 2ooopound therefore, in the
FORD the power goes carry the load and car.
I,2oo-pound will tire quickly
pound I,2oopound passes rough road with
scientifically proporoned much easier and quicker than
of pounds Two and two still make four-and the
light weight FORD still unapproachabe by other
capacity the smaness of operating expenses
Vanadum Steel causes FORD repair bills to be less FORD
weight proporonae the horsepower fuel bills
smaeres to cost less. One gallon of gasoline carries
FORD twenty twenty-five miles One of tires carries
a FORD from 5000 to 10000 miles.
