Gasolene in This Truck
Is Triply Heated

Getting every ounce of energy out of
the fuel is the aim of every truck en-
gineer, driver and operator in these days
when ounces count. Various devices have
been tried for reducing fuel consumption
and eliminating waste, and one invent
or has gone so far as to compound a
chemical which he claims will increase
fuel mileage when added to the gaso-
lene in the tank.
Few of these devices, however, have
met with as great success as the en-
glnes which superheat their gas be-
fore it passes into the combustion
chamber. On the Fulton truck the gas
IS heated three times before it reaches
the intake valve. In the first place, the
air is heated by passing through a
stove before it enters the carburetor.
This stove is kept hot by the exhaust
pipe to which it is attached. The air,
thus heated, passes into the carburetor
and serves further to vaporize the
broken up in the spray
This gas mixture is then conducted d
through a cylinder-block channel be-
tween the hot cylinders to the opposite
side OF the motor. In this second heat
ing the gasolene is still further vapor-
lied. Any particles of fuel that may
yet remain unmixcd with the air are
dashed against the hot spot of an ex-
haust contact manifold, and thus vapor-
lied in a third heating.
When the gas goes into the cylinder
it is highly combustible mixture.
The result aimed at is power and the
greatest possible efficiency in the con-
sumption of fuel. There is held to be
no waste of gasolene, and particles of
kerosene or other low grades of fuel
are not deposited in the cylinder
Tests show that the Fulton with one
and half-ton load will give twelve to
fourteen miles on a gallon of gasolene

Says Lubricant Should Be
All Consumed or None at All

The perfect lubricant for gas en-
gines should either be consumed en-
tirely in the cylinder or not at all; ac-
cording to an authority on gas engine
cylinder fabrication. After many ex-
periments he found that the lubricant
that was not consumed at all retained
its full lubricating value as long as it
remained in the cylinder. On the
other hand, the lubricant that is only
partly consumed leaves a carbon de-
posit. The lubricant that is entirely
consumed leaves the cylinder drv

Liberty Car I aiken On
By Owen Magnetic
Sales Company

Several circumstances of decided
interest feature the announcement
just made that the Liberty Six is to
be handled in New York and sur
rounding territory by the Owen Mag
netic Motor Sales Corporation, at
Fifty-seventh Street and Broadway
First of all is the grouping of de
luxe small six-cylinder car of the
gear transmission type with the Ia
nous Owen Magnetic transmission
automobile, both cars appealing to
persons who like fine work and good
performance in the respective fields.
Second is that the Liberty car is
also in one sense an "Owen product" !"
Percy Owen, president of the Liberty
Motor Car Company, is, however, not
related to r. M. Owen, who heads the
Owen Magnetic Motor Car Company,
save for the name. Percy Owen has
the distinction of being the only
president of motor car company
who is also a New Yorker, and New
York is therefore a peculiarly in
teresting field to him. When Colonial
Motors, Inc. former representative Of
the Liberty here, was dissolved be-
cause John F. Plummer, it's president,
entered the service OF the govern
ment, Mr.. (Liberty) Owen made a
careful investigation of the field to
secure continued high grade repre-
sentation of the Liberty car.
S. Partridge, president of the sales
manager, handling the Owen Mag
netic. Percy Owen and Joseph f.
Fields, sales manager of the Liberty,
were Immediately impressed with the
organization gathered together by Mr.
Partridge. 1t did not take long to
conclude an arrangement that the
Owen Magnetic Motor Sales Corpora
tion should handle the Liberty auto
mobile.
When Mr.. Plummer took up the
sale Of the Liberty car two years ago,
he was interested in it because it was
q high grade small automobile. He
had always been associated with
quality cars, although larger than the
continue to sell high grade cars to
the class of owners he dealt with
formerly. Naturally again, the own
er list of the Liberty to-day is made
up of people of the same standing as
those who have Owen Magnetic and
other high grade cars.
Representation of the Liberty by
the Owen Magnetic Motor Sales Cor
poration it is expected will achieve
even more than was done before for
the Liberty because the organization
under the leadership Of Mr.. Part
ridge and Mr.. Titus has considerably
above the average in sales drive and
energy to say nothing of Mr.. Part
ridges long experience on Broadway.
Percy Owen was certain from the be-
ginning that the high grade clientele
already represented among Liberty
owners would be exccllently served by
this local organization. AS a former
New Yorker, Percy Owen has long
been acquainted with Mr.. Partridge,
who is a real veteran of metropolitan
motor car business. In his new asso-
citation he is acting as a hyphen be-
tween the Owens. !: is thus sort Of
Owen Partridge Owen combination that
stands behind the Liberty car in New
York City.

Walter Ramsey and Leo Beck, of the
Colonial Motors organization, will con-
tinue to be connected with the sale

Maxwell Manager Finds
Conditions Cheerful

Harry j. De Bear, manager of the
Maxwell New York branch, is not
only optimistic about general bust
ness conditions, but is convinced
that we are passing through that
inevitable period Of readjustrent
characte ristic of war times.
ut is more than gratifying" said
Mr.. De Bear, "to be able to report
that our sales for the past month
have not only been exceptionally
good, but that they have surpassed a
good many months of normal times
This particularly holds good with
trucks, which helps prove that gen.
eral commerce has come to realize
that motor transportation in every
branch and industry is prominent
factor.
"The most convincing example Of
the general use to which motor cars
and trucks can be put was given in
the recent Liberty Loan, Red Cross,
War Saving Stamps and other drives.
They never could in the world have
been put over with such success with
out the aid of motor conveyances.
Cars not only conveyed speakers and
other workers from place to place
with alacrity and speed. but reached
places that would have been other
wise inaccessible"
A condition which was of material
assistance to Mr.. De Baer was the abil-
ity to make immediate deliveries Of
both passenger cars and trucks.
