PRESERVE POWER" IS
NEW MOTORING TERM
Motorists Attach More Significance
To II Than 10 Any Other Char
acteristic Of Car.
FEATURE OF "AERO-ElGHT"
New Cole Machine Has Wonderful
Reserve Power: Used Extensively
BY Pcrshing In France

A new expression Is creeping into
the vocabulary OF the motorist. IT
is reserve power"
Motorists are attaching more sig
nificance to II than to most any
other characteristic OF their cars.

fore may interest those who have
rs yet not come in contact with It.
Emergencies Arise.
The average requirements of n
car do not call upon II to exert more
,han the usual amount of power In
overcoming obstacles, But emer-
gencies arise when "A super.maxi-
mum amount Of energy is needed to
take II over the top so to speak.
For instance, In the case of the
now Cole Aero Eight, the s. a. E.
rating (reckoned from actual motor
dimensions) is 39.22 horsepower.
That rating classifles 1t as being
more powerful than any other stock
eight-cylinder car built in America
Aero Eight Develops so Horsepower.
But the Aero Eight motor actually
develops more than so horsepower
Hence the Cole Aero Eight is able
TO run without economy at the very
lowest speeds and with the greatest
ease. At the same time, when
pushed TO capacity the car can be
made TO acquire a speed OF more
than 20 miles an hour and maintain
II without difficulty and without
causing any percepuble increase In
the amount of fuel used. than II II
were travelling at from 35 to 40
miles an hour.
This reserve power feature of the
aero-eisht is also apparent when IL

From 10000 TO 5000 miles on d
set Of tires is the consistent average
OF the Aoro-Eight cars. They weigh
only $500 pounds ready for the
road and yet 33X5 inch cord tires are
standard equipment--tires large
enough to support the weight OF a
';ar almost twice that weight and yet
'Hnall enough In circumference to
enable IL TO attain extreme speeds
Without waste OF energy.
Perfect Carbureton.
The hot spot manifold breaks up
the gasoline in n manner that assures
perfect carburetion at all speeds and
under all climatic conditions, with
out destroying the heat units which
make for power.

pistons and reciprocating parts ell

1t Is interesting to know also that
the Aero Eight has been subjected
10 rigid tests by the engineering
corps in training for service at In
lianapolis and the Cole Fights are
now In extensive use by the Amer
can expeditionary force in France
