Every part is made of the one ma
terial best adapted to the needs of
that particular part. These materials
are of the highest grade and are pur-
chased without regard for price. More
than so different metals go to make
up one of these cars. The crank case
and transmission case are of bronze
Aluminium which is used on most cars
for these parts, is too brittle to be

struction. 1t is used only for valve
enclosures and similar places where
lightness is desirable and strength is
not needed. Valves are of tungsten
steel, the only metal that will not
warp or pit under the terrific heat
ing and hammering to which valves
are submitted. Connecting rods and
crank shaft are of chrome nickel
steel.
The highest degree of accuracy is
maintained in the manufacture of
every part. Pistons are finished to
three ten-thousandths of an inch.
Cylinders are elaborated with heavy
oil to insure that the combustion
spaces shall be exactly equal. The
connecting rods must balance each
other within a sixteenth of an ounce
and their centers of gravity must

standing and a running balance that
makes it absolutely true.
The engine consists of six T-head |
cylinders, cast in pairs. The T-head |
construction gives the greatest valve |
room. The casting in pairs insures
easier handling and better cooling.
Timing gears are of special fabric
composition that eliminates the hum
present when metal gears are used.
The present model, the Series Two,
displays number of innovations, the
most important of which is Tandem
Ignition. BY this system each cylin-
der is fired by two sparks occurring
simultaneously over each valve. The
result is quicker and more complete
| combustion of the charge. This gives
greater power and greater fuel
economy. The Locomobile Company
| has found by dynamometer test that
| Tandem Ignition increases the power
of the engine by over Is per cent. AL
| though this system has been used
| by specially built racing cars it has
never before been applied to a stand
ard car. The magnetic used is the
American-m Berling which is
standard equipment on the aeroplanes
built for our own and English gov
| eminent.
1t was adopted for the Locomobile
after two years of strenuous testing.
| Another addition to the car is the
Manchester ~ crankshaft vibration
damper In every gasoline engine
there is a certain speed at which the
moving parts come into harmonic vi
brations that are distinctly noticeable
to the occupants of the car. The Ian
chester Damper which is a light fly
wheel flexib1y attached to the forward
end of the crankshaft, smooths out
the vibrations at the critical speed
The Series Two Locomobile engine
develops its maximum power at a
somewhat higher speed than the pre-
vious models. For this reason the
gear ratio in the rear axle has been
reduced. The result is greater power
and easier and more rapid accelera-
ton.
A ruling of the Chamber of Com
merce has made it impossible hereto
fore for the Locomobile to be exhibit
ed at the Bridgeport show. This
year, however, a special arrangement
has been made and Bridgeporters will
be able to examine at their ease and
in detatil the motor car built in theil
city, that is the acknowledged leader
of American automobiles.
