The announcement OF the latest
Chalmers car is startling to some ex-
tent, inasmuch as all of the best me-
chanicaI features. equipment and con-
veniences of the costliest cars on the
market, together with many other
unexceIlent Chalmers characteristics
are embodied in this model.
The "six" cylinder motor is of
T-head construction, by 51z. de-
veloping 40-65 horsepower A
moving parts Of this motor are in
closed, cork insert clutch. Bosch
magnetic, electric starter (Entz sys-
tem). built in Chalmers shops, full
electric lights 1872 inch wheel base,
nodded oval tenders. gasoline tank
and tire carrier on rear, clean run
ming boards. left drive and center
control, making it possible to enter
front seat from either side. 36 by "
inch tires with demountable rims,
four speed transmission, undressing
rear springs-main leaf of vanadium
steel: tapered bonnet and spring line;
bell backed body and Chalmers pat
ented doors The new Chalmers
six cylinder is silent on all speeds
and the silence lasts.
Many cars that are quiet at 10 miles
an hour create lot of noise at 30,
whereas the new Chalmers six" will
run at speeds of 10, 20. 80, 40, 80 or
so without a murmur from the cams
and valves of the motor or the trans
mission gears. This silence means
great deal 1t guarantees minimum
or wear and long life to ali working
parts, because noise is invariably the
result of friction.
The power of our new six" is so
flexible that you can throttle 1T down
on high to a creeping gait and thessA
seemingly without effort the speed
Of the car can be raised from four
or five to twenty, thirty, forty, fifty
,or sixty miles an hour without noise,
vibration or the usual jerking sem
sation.
The motor of the new six" cylin-
der Chalmers will never go dead in
crowded city trafic-even If the driver
should cut off the gas accidentally
the electric starter. which is always
on duty, will keep the motor run
ming. It won't permit it to stop.
This prevents stalling of the motor
under sudden overload and represents
the greatest feature of speed and
convenience yet put on a motor car.
Steep hills, muddy or sandy roads,
congested traffic will never worry the
motor of the new six"
Unlike a great many other electric
starters on the market the new
Chalmers Entz starter is simple and
sure. A little motor spins the en-
gine to start it and then it reverses
itself and becomes a generator. stor-
ing UP power in the battery for cleo
tric lighting and future starting pur-
poses.
With the new Chalmers six it is
possible TO use a very low grade of
gasoline, because the gas is heated
and reheated before ii enters the mo-
tor The gas is heated three times
by having two hot water Jackets and J
one hot air jacket. Every atom OF
gasoline is turned into power andS
this process means an enormous saw
ing in the seasons fuel bill.
The new Chalmers car is equipped
with only two headlights, but each
of these lights are equipped with
tBo lamps, one Of moderate size for
use in cities and the other a power
full searchlight needed for country
driving.
