Dynam meters Expensive
but Economical Investment

Seems like an awfully expensive
equipment" said a REQ dealer on a
recent visit to the factory, when he
was shown into the big engine and
chassis testing department with the
rows upon rows of dynamoneters and
other electrical apparatus.
1T does look like it," said the REQ
guide. As a matter of fact our sales
department tells us it is one of the
most economical features of our
plant. What seems to be extrava-
CANT in fact really proves TO be very
cheap when it comes to selling the
product-you know we make automo-
biles to sell-not to keep.
The electrical equipment in this
department is probably the most ex-
pensiye you will find in any automo-
bile factory in the world, but YOU
notice we are installing still more.
Every REQ motor and every REQ
rear axle, every transmission. and
every chassis-each individual one
is subjected to the most rigid and pre-
else dynamometer test. Not only the
power of the motor but the efficiency
of the transmission mechanism clean
back to the tires is tested here and
accurately recorded by electrical in
struments.
1T is not as eXtravagant as it looks
however" continued the REQ man
for If you will notice from each of
these dynamometers runs a set OF
wires and if you will come over into
the next room | will show you where
we utilize power that is generated by
REQ motors Fours and Skies during
their several hours of test" In an
adjoining room they found two big
generators. Here" said the REQ man
you will see that we are generating
over $50 horsepower on an average.
At times, 1t runs twice that. Aside
from the slight loss in the lines. we
put all the power developed by so or
100 motors, as the case may be that
arc on the testing blocks, INTO our
lines and utilizes it to run the fac
tory. If all the motors were running
to full capacity of course we would
generate a good deal more, but our
policy Is to run the generator for sew
eral hours at a slow speed. and
gradually as it limbers up. increase its
speed and power output until we
finally develop it's maximum.
But the big return from this. sys-
tenn is not in the power il deveIones
but in the guarantee it gives the
customer 1t enables us TO guarantee
him with absolute certainty that HIS
car will be just as good as any other
REQ car ever turned out of the fac
tory. Our extremely low service and
cost is the best proof of
the eciency as well as economy of
this system, which as you can see it
here, looks SO extravagant"

Importance of Attention
to Your Batteries

There is one thing YOU can't eX-
pect even an extra good battery to
do-and that is, to look after itself
YOU have simply got to give your
battery, regular, systematic attention
if you want satisfactory results" re-
marked the local Jackson dealer in
this locality.
The chief duty of the owner is to
see that water is provided at regular
intervals so that all battery plates are
properly submerged. This water
evaporates and must be replaced.
IF your motor does not start read
lily this weather, don't sit in the car
and grind it until you have run out
of juice but at the first symptom of
any irregularity. jump out, and try
and locate the trouble. incidentally
don't forget that the running mixture
q your motor during cold weather
mould be considerably richer than at
other times,
Ninety per cent of all battery
troubles. 1 am told are due to lack
of proper care. This point needs
emphasizing because some of the best
men / know have been guilty of
neglecting their batteries till re-
minded of it by trouble in starting
We try to help Jackson owners avoid
battery troubles by all the means in
our power. Every purchaser of
Jackson car is furnished with a card
which entities him to twelve monthly
Inspections by the Willard Storage
Battery Company at any of it's many
branches or service stations. These
Inspections are intended to help own
ers get the utmost service from their
batteries and are made absolutely
free of charge"
