START And STOP COST
IMPORTANT TO AUTOIST
Royce Haush. of T. v. 7. Corporation.
Tells of Marmon "a Features.

How much does it cost to start and
stop your car? What is your annual bill
for starting and stopping a dozen to fifty
times each day?
Every owner Is interested. some more
than others. In the cost of operating and
maintaining his automobile. but 1t is a
fact that most owners consider that all
Of the expense of the machine Is incur
red while 1t Is running. Probably very
few ever stop to consider there, Is an
actual charge incurred in starting and
stopping machine and that this cost Is
almost In direct proportion to the weight
Does 1t ever occur to the car owner,
said Royce Haugh. manager Of the T. V.
T. Corporation, local distributors, ito
consider the wear on brakes and tires,
the racking grind on the car, and the
strain in creating momentum when he
starts and stops?
I'VE estimate that the Marmon 81 saves
% per cent less in these respects because
more than half ton OF weight has been
eliminated by scientific construction and
the extensive use OF aluminium. Our en-
gineers have taken the view Of railroad
experts on this matter. 1t is estimated
by railroad men who have made study
of the problem that 1t cost $4,000 to $iS,-
600 per year to start and a stop train
fifty times a day. They have found that
weight is a ruling factor. That is, the
heavier the train the more it costs to
start 1t and to bring it to a stand still >"
Our engineers determined to keep the
weight of the Marmon 81 to the lowest
possible point considering 1t is luxury
car with 136-inch wheel base and pow
cred by a motor which develops I4-horse-
power on block test. This scientific con-
struction has resulted in a car which
weighs only $40 pounds fully equipped
ready for the road. while other cars with
which 1t is to be compared weigh about
1000 pounds more.
Just consider that the Marmon 81 In
starting has half a ton less burden to
pull and, In stopping. the momentum OF
half a ton is not behind 1t in effort to
overcome the holding power of the
brakes. Think of the energy consumed
in starting a mass Weighing a half ton
and pulling 1t at a rate OF from 80 to 60
miles an hour. and consider what 1t
means to stop n mass of this weight
when 1t has gained this momentum. You
will then get an idea of the burden from
which the Marmon "a is relieved by this
elimination OF useless weight.
People formerly thought It was neces-
sary to have the car heavy in order that
1t would ride comfortably. This theory
has been entirely dispelled by the Mar
mon "a. Marmon scientific principles OF
construction have made 1t possible TO
make a lightweight car which rides with
greater comfort and handles more easily
than heavier cars ordinarily do"
