The number OF cubic inches OF piston

relative power and therefore furnishes
an accurate basis for comparisons OF the
pulling power in question. The inves-
tigator made some interesting discoveries
proving that the exceedingly high power
per pound weight OF the Ford is borne
out by the results obtained from a COM
pilation of ratios OF weight TO cubic inches

All tho leading American cars were
