Unique Device on
 Cadillac CarburetOr

One of the interesting features in con- nection with the development of the eight-cylinder motor by the Cadillac Motor Car company has been the correction of a fault common to practically all, if not all. carburetors.
 Oft times there Is the lack of ability on the part of the carburetor to respond freely and fully to sudden and complete orening of the throttle. When the throt- tie Is quickly opened. the gasoline, flow ing through the spray nozzle, does not at once pass in sufficient quantity to form, with the inrushng air, gas of the required explosive quality. This dis proportion of gasoline and air Is of hard ly more than momentary duration, but while 1t exists the motor frequently mis- fires and cannot develop the power neces- sary to rapid acceleration of the speed of the car
 The device which the Cadillac engineers have evolved to obviate the condition just described is an ingenious applica- ton of the plunger pump principle thought Its action Is confined to a single stroke of the plunger. When the driver suddenly opens his throttle the plunger automatically forces an extra supply of gasoline through the spray nozzle, there- by providing correct explosive mixture for quick acceleration.
