new SIX Cylinder
LOCOMOBILE HERE
First of This Model to Be Pro-
duced by Well Known
Factory

The Locomobile company received
its six cylinder IS horsepower demon
strator on Monday and has been
busy exhibiting and demonstrating
the new car all this week.
The arrival Of the car has been
awaited with considerable interest, not
only by the officials of the Locomobile
( company. but also by the motor en-
. thusiasts Of the city Motor enthusi-
asJs have known for the last three or
D four years that the LOeomobile COM
psny was developing six cylinder
model and all have been interested to
see what features would be incorpor-
( sted in the new car.
. The car embodies all the standard
/. features of construction which gained
! the LocomObile its reputation for re-
I liability and durability. Strength and
safety have been the essential consid-
erstiOns. with the result that the new
six cylinder is strong in every feature.
The car has long. low. graceful lines
which are emphasized by the straight
lines Of the fore doors. The car is
noteworthy in that IL looks small and
!. compact. lacking bulky cumbersome
d appearance.
The motor on this car is clean and
although the cylinders are only 45a by
z = inches. the size which the A. 1. A NJ.
rates at IS horsepower, il developed 6S
horsepower on The block.
The Bosch dual ignition system is
used and oiling is erected by q unique
internally contained" oil pump which
is very satisfactory.
The Locomobile company has evolved
z new caTbuTecor for the six cylinder
car which il is building in it's
OWL factory. This caTbureter is very
flexible, supplying a uniform mixture
under all loads and conditions. The
motor IS connected 30 the transmission
by a very simple and efficient disk
clutch running In oil
he motor has such a uniform move
nent that the company has been able
10 use one of the simplest. most COM
pact and strongest rear constructions
which have ever been used on a car OF
equal power The transmission is also
simple and compact and is Of the four
forward and reverse selective type
which the company has used for some
time.
Three-quarter elliptic springs on the
resr assure especially soft and easy
riding qualities
one feature Of the car which is an
excellent idea is that all the spare tires
are carried on the rear Of the car, in
stead Of on the right runningboar rd
where they are apt TO throw the car
out Of balance and put too much weight
on the right hand springs.
The unassailable position maintained
by the LocOmobile among the highest
class cars attaches decided significance
10 the machine. The Locomobfle has
adhered TO the policy through its career
Of sane conservatism, feeling its way
carefully and actually installing
changes only after preliminary expert
ments have conclusively proved their
sdvisability. This conservatism. how
ever, has in no manner indicated a
lack Of progressiveness for the fac
tory experts have ever had their at
tention centered on even the most
minute developments in motor car
building. not only in this country, but
in Europe as well: consequently their
1911 changes go far toward indexing
the best advances in automobile con-
struction-
