Only an expert engineer can design good Motor
Truck
But every business man can understand WHY
lone Truck is better than another.
Take the Transmission, for example.
You know what it means to throw gears in and
out Of mesh
You know there is always danger Of stripping
the gears
A little careessness and the gears are ruined.
Even with the most careful handling, II won't be
long until they will begin to corner chip or
grind"
Before a great while they will have TO be replaced
Now look at Gramm- Bernstein transmission. II
is constructed radically different principle
The gears are ALWAYS in mesh.
The teeth ALWAYS in proper contact,
Therefore they cannot be stripped
They run idle" until locked TO the shaft
This is done by powerful dog clutches"
These clutches are many times as large as gear
teeth and many times strong.
They are practically INDESTRUCTIBLE.
This is why0we can guarantee the Gramm-Bern
stein transmission for the life Of the Truck
And it is why we do not have to replace trans.
missions guaranteed.
II is ONE Of the reasons why Gramm- Bernstein
Trucks will keep down your ton-mile cost And
ton-mile cost is the one big thing to consider in
selecting n Motor Truck
Now consider springs.
You know that if all shocks were transmitted TO
the rear axle it would be likely to snap off at
any minute
Gramn- Bernstein rear springs are built to take
these shocks.
In all Gramm- Bernstein Trucks drive and torque
are taken through the springs.
These springs are large and strong.
They get thorough fabrication through large olng
cups.
In the large size Gramm- Bernstein Trucks an
extra top leaf is added TO the springs.
This top leaf acts as stiffencr TO prevent
buckng Of the other leaves when under pressure.
This spring construction is worked out TO such
perfection that less than dozen GrammBern-
stein springs have broksm in the last four years
We are, therefore, enabled TO guarantee the
springs for the life Of the Truck.
This is ANOTHER important reason for low tom
mile costs.
You know the Importance Of good cooling system.

Gramm Bernstein Motor Truck.
INSIDE FACTS ABOUT TRUCKS

II in obvious that the greater area that il exposed
the more rapid the cooling is sure to be. The
Gramm- Bernstein radiator IL made OF copper
tubes.
These tubes are placed vertically between the two
tanks of the radiator.
The ordinary practice is TO place the fan back Of
the radiator and let 1t go at that
But Gramm-Bernstein construction Is more
thorough.
In order 10 get air circulation to ALL radiator
pipes metal casing is built in.
The FAM then, not only cools the motor, but the
ENTIRE radiator.
large water jacket surrounds each cylinder.
The tubes Of the radiator have spiral copper fins,
TO increase their radatng surface.
This completely worked out cooling system en-
ables us to guarantee Gramm- Bernstein radiators
for the life of the Truck
Another big factor in low ton-me costs.
Every working part Of the Gramm-Bernstein
motor Is completely enclosed
Worm drive is used exclusively, and 1t also is
completely enclosed,
The control is sure and simple, and positively
fool l-proof.
It is nm exclusive Gramm- Bernstein feature.
The control lever is in line with the drivers right
hand and within easy reach
An exceptionally large steering wheel gives ease
The driver has easy access to the spark and
throttle levers the steering column, just be-
low the wheel
There are two large and powerful sets OF brakes.
The clutch discs have large circumference giving
quick and gradual engagement. ~
The Gramm- Bernstein clutch requires no attention
whatever.
The Grnmm- Bernstein rear aXles are OF the semi
floating type.
Hundreds of other features combine 10 make the
Gramm- Bernstein the most economical Truck
Service is built in"

maintain in Chicago 24-hour service station
