How to Subjugate IIigh-Speed Power, the
The primary object of high-speed engines for motor
cars was the attainment of great racing speed.
The hardest thing in building them was to make
them safe.
Another difficulty was to combine high engine
speed with the feature OF all round performance which
is in such imperative demand.
Now comes the remarkable 34OO r. D. m. Chalmers
which attains the terrific and supreme engine speed Of
34N revolutions per minute, not only with absolute
SAFETY, but with undreamed of acceleration, and smooth,
throbless serenity of performance.

ton surfaces. and copious fabrication. are the out
standing features of construction that make this "A safe
