of 800 pounds to the square inch.
All of these and other considera-
tions resound to the account of ST.
lent performance but the power of the
motor will be considerably lowered.
1T is a great misfortune that
barely Is per cent of all the heat of
the fire in the combustion chamber
of the motor is turned into power to
propel the automobile, and it is an
equally great misfortune that the
rest of the heat, in addition to being
loss, is source of much trouble.
1t is possible to realize 20 TO IS per
cent, There are many motors that
would be considered as doing we'll
were they delivering II per cent of
the fuel as mechanical work.
If horsepower alone is
taken in the rating of motor, it
may be that the power claimed for a
given motor will be at some speed
that cannot be utilized in practice.
IF the designer of motor does
not consider the automobile in
which it is to be harnessed, he may
spoil the motor In so far as its per-
Torrance is concerned. The flexi-
bility of the motor may be destroyed
when it is harnesSed in a chassis
that will not allow it to perform
under conditions that would be ad-
vantageous to it. Obviously,
good motor, very good perhaps,
will deliver poor service under such
conditions.
The above article is worth cutting
out and saving, for by these facts
any one will be able to detect the
weak points and deceptive features
of any automobile by a practical
demonstration on the poorer roads
of the country. The boulevard will
not expose the machine.
1t has been pointed out that the
Ford has a high speed, high COM
preston motor and that the entire
car was designed by one man with
a scientific knowledge of gasoline
motors and practical construction
by man who has had the largest
experience of any man in the world
in automobile building. In evil
dence of this l would point out the
fact that Mr.. Ford builds and sells
one-fifth of all the automobiles In
the United States.
The Ford car uses high COM
preston motor which enables it to
utilize the highest per centage of
the combustion for power and has
the least left for causing trouble.
The high speed enables the motor
to use the higher pressure without
being noisy, on account of the pis-
ton movement being proportional
to the increased pressure, and the
speed used enables the motor to
give more than its rated power at a
speed that can be utilized in practice.
The motor is harnessed in chassis
designed for it and with the object
of giving 1t the greatest degree of
dexibility and with the least loss in
transmitting the power of the motor
to the wheels. All these features
have been accomplished without
ever losing sight of the foundation
principle STRENGTH IN CoNsTRUc-
TON.
1t is infinitely more practical TO
study the lines of strains thrown
upon a car and the structures abil-
ity to resist those strains, than to
study lines of beauty If you want
automobile service and safety.
Graceful lines are carried out in
the Ford car. Beauty in ladies'
hats changes with the fashion
plates, which Is quite allowable be-
cause In those hats we do not con.
slider strength as factor.
When you stop to think that the
Ford car has such a small per cent
age of the advertising and such a
large per centage of the trade it be-
comes problem think it over, and
let US give you a demonstration
with the car; it will help you to
solve the problem.
