GASOLINE ECONOMY IN
AUTOMATIC CRANK

Hubert Drennen of the Cadillac COM
pany, yesterday said that the automatic
cranking device which is used on all
new Cadillac cars was very important
factor in gasoline economy. His analy-
sis is as follows:
I'm addition to increasing the eff
cheney and comfort of an automobile, a
dependable cranking device is ma
terial factor in gasoline economy. In
driving around the city much of the
fuel is consumed while the engine is
running idle At least such is the case
when the car is not equipped with an
efficient automatic cranking device. In
city work. driver rolls up to the curb.
jumps out, makes a brief call and is
off again to the next place. He often
makes many such stops in day. If he
have no automatic starter he will let
the engine run because he does not
want to undergo the annoyance and the
labor of cranl1ing. To go through that
operation 10, 20 or more times day
entails a great deal of energy and con-
sumes time. Therefore. he let's the
engine run idle so that he can step in
and drive away without loss of time
and without the outlay of physical ef-
fort.
IF on the other hand, his car is
equipped with dependable cranking
device. he win stop his engine, no mat
ter how brief his call may be, because
he knows that all that is required to
start it again is to press the button.
Consequently the ear so equipped is
consuming no gasoline during these
frequent stops and has that much ad-
vantage in fuel economy over the car
that must be cranked by hand"
