not enough. More is unnecessary.
Some disturbed competitors have said
that light weight comes from cheap
materials. Not at all. Cheap iron Is just
as heavy as good iron.
Chandler has CIT out the iron.
Why should you buy gasoline and tires
to carry around a lot of heavy iron cast
ings that add weight, but not strength. to
carp Well. you shouldn't.
And it's the people who haven't cut out
the iron that are warning you against
light weight.
They waxs you, but they don't tell you
how much their cars weigh. Why not?
Because they know they're too heavy. If
they are proud of 3700-pound weight, or
1000, or 4500, why don't they say so in
figures. The only cars whose weights
are advertised weigh less than 5000
pounds. Mark that fact. 1t Is vital.
Chandler uses fine aluminium castings
and pressed steel, wherever possible, in
stead of iron. That's modern engineering.
