same principle Cnat wagon or
buggy is by reach. Most cars de-
pend on the springs to hold the
wheels in place. The springs on
Ford car have nothing to do but TO
carry the body, while most cars de-
pend on the springs to hold the car
together as we'll as carry the body.
Load the Ford with double it's
capacity and you place no more
weight on the rear axle than when
the car was empty-the weight
comes directly on the wheels at the
roller bearings. No other car is
built that way. The Ford is the
neatest bit of scientific construc-
ton that travels any road.
The Ford is never over-rated
while most of the cheaper heavy
cars are over-rated. You can figure
the power yourself, it is very
simple. The standard rule is
square the diameter of the piston,
multiply this by the number of cyl
inderS and divide by two and one
half. This will give you the horse
power while your piston travel is
1000 feet per minute. Example;
take car with four cyliders having
a diameter of inches:
4X4=16X4=64 --2.5=25.6.
The piston travel is in proportion
to the speed of your car. If you
double the speed of your motor you
double the power of your motor, SO
keep this we'll in mind for great i'm
portance hinges on this fact which
few builders like to talk about.
The Ford is a high-speed motor
while most of the cars have slow
speed motors. By this you will see
that the Ford will take the hills and
bad places on high gear at a modest
and safe speed while the cars with
slow-speed motors have to run fast
er to get the motor up to it's power.
Example: Suppose the Ford motor
speed is represented by 3 and the
slow-speed motor by 2 and the Ford
reaches it's power at 20 miles an
hour the other would have to be run
at 80 miles an hour, or if the Ford
runs 80 miles an hour the other
would have to run nearly SO miles
an hour to take the bad roads and
the hills.
The Ford is built for practical
use and will run faster than 95 per
cent of all owners of cars want to
ride and about 100 per cent faster
than the laws of any state allow,
even on country roads. High speed
steam engines have nearly dis
placed the slow-speed steam en-
gines of few years ago. Gas en-
gines are driven by exploding gas
in the cylinders instead of using the
even pressure of expanding steam,
so it is more reasonable to give
speed to the gas engine to provide
for the sudden shock of All explo-
sion. The slower the speed of
gas motor the higher is the degree of
conclusion and the harder ON the
motor.
Cars with slow speed motors make
their high speed runs in the most
dangerous part of all the road in
order to take the hills or bad
places. The Ford takes these hills
and bad places at a modest safe
speed on high gear.
If you figure the Ford having
four cylinders with 81 inch diam
eter you will see that it has 22H
horse power or 121 per cent above
the rating while most cars are over
rated in power by 20 per cent and
over loaded with dead weight iron
by nearly 100 per cent.
In hot dry atmosphere rubber
perishes. The tires in use on a
Ford will last about as long as the
extra tires carried, so you should
count the tires on car. You will
find the Ford has four tires while
most of the other cars have 5 or 6.
Extra tires are not carried as orna-
ments, but are true index to tire
trouble and expense of the car.
When we quote the price of Ford
it is a whole car-you don't have to
pay from $4,000 to $4,000 for
parts called extras by some and
used by all. Investigate the Ford,
it is interesting whether you want
to buy car or not. 1t is a pleas
ure to demonstrate the Ford.
The Ford is sold on the merits of
the car-the saving in cost is an ao-
ditional advantage and the saving
in running cost is daily consola-
ton. The easy handling adds
pleasure to your outing and
strength for your business.
