 csc are the things which constitute performance ance, the best performance you can find you e1 The combustion belongs in place apart where moving parts are not exposed to it. where the hot and the carbon will be harmless In the plant the 'ue IS emooyed it should be employed and under the bsst possible conditions
 The generation of this complete itself t IS distinct from the of the Steam be generated in the Stanley without mechanical motion oe any k and none of the is immediately lost in turn ing moving parts.
 NO WASTE OF ENERGY
 IL is impossible to waste Stanley by running when the car Is not in motion The be generated but instead ot being wasted In iding engine is stored ready for use when the controlling throttle is opened The from Stanley fuel be Either is turned to useful work it is retained in the boiler ready to obey the whim the driver touch the throttle
 Under the Stanley hood boer-a conventional but highly refined fire tube boiler. with kero burner unit directly beneath it.
 AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF WATER AND FUEL Water supplied to this twenty gallon vor suspended from the Posi- tive automatic controls and pan old fashioned punger pumps maintain the water in the boiler at constant leved During the generation of whenever the level falls certain point in the boiler valves in the supply line automatically and from the vor is pumped into the boiler till another point IS reached when the valves close again This operation takes place without attention from the drver and in fact without his knowledge; and its action is absolutely lfcontaned Contrary the general impression, Stanley pacu lay saving of One filling of the su cent for about two hundred miles of steady driving This water secured by condensng the exhaust from the engine and returning the reservoir be used The exhaust steam is led standard Mayo Rada the front of the where cooled Much the same method of automatic control that handles the fueIs in his the and not the water leve regulates the supply This is elf-contaned and automatic in action
 When the boiler falls below predetermined point the valves in the fuel line automatically and supplied to the main burner Likewise when the reaches the fixed maximum the valves close again and fuel burned till the steam generated in the boiler partly used and the again falls to the deter mined point This action positive and also takes place without attention the part of the driver The efficiency of this method of control apparent and the beauty of the system lies in the fact that operates itself the reaches the control point fuel be stunned until the already stored has been drawn It is readily that the burner operation only part of the time When coastins during stops and much of the time when running at slow speeds it is entirely shut off The quantity fuel directly proportion al to the steam power used.
 During these intervals shut off, the main burner entirely and to start it again when the fuel mouth. This going constantly when the in and drivers do not turn it off for weeks at time The fuel fed to both the pilot and main burner by In the kerosene system, auxiliary tank holding about quart kept under The fuel into the tank while running and the automatically kept at predetermined point
 far the functions described autonnatic-tey self operating and their work is performed without tenon the part of the driver There is nothing delicate novel, intricate about these automatic controls Their principles among the oldest in steam engineering Could anything offer fewer complications and impose responsibility upon the driver than this absolutely inconceivabIy simple method deriving energy from fuel?
 To summarize: an automatically controlled boiler through section of tubing direct to the cylinders axe
 RESULT OF REFINEMENT AND IMPROVEMENT OF
 ORIGINAL IDEA
 The engine in the Stanley Car of course the gradual refinement and improvement. We have guess the perpexing problem of how many cylinders necessary properly to propel automobile This tn. first simple cylinder double acting engine ap. piled land vehicle Our development has been along the line of refinement not of experimenting.
 The engine Stanley Car is and always has the engine of automobile should be. on the axe rish. where the power is wanted
 It has two double aactng cylinders with five inch stroke crank shaft which parallel instead of at right angles to it. Thus the power does not have to turn corners to do it's work. This carries spur gear which directly into the driving the axe and stays in mesh The axle and engine complete uncself- contained inseparabe When the crank-shaft turns the axle turns frictiona losses practically nothing;- there shaft not single universal joint mission qearse spiral beveI driving gears clutch Nothing prevents all the getting to the axe
