Invention Of Portland Architect
Assists in Carburetion ~
Keeps Carbon Down to Mini
mum and Gives More Power.

One OF the great problems faced by
motor-ca makers is the efficient car
puretion of the low-grade gasoline
now being sold. The rapid growth of
the motor-car industry has forced oil
refners to lower the grade of gaso-
line In order to supply the demand
for fuel
With this lowering Of quality of fuel
have come many devices to increase
the efficiency of the carburetion sys-
tenn SO that the motor will be able to
run on this gasoline with the minimum
loss OF power.
When grade fuels are used the
amount needed to run the motor is
excessive and the cost higher than
with high grade fuels in proportion.
The reason, of course for the increased
amount is that the fuel is not properly
gasified and large amounts of raw fuel
are sucked into the cylinders and not
consumed. This fuel is not all burned
when the explosion in the cylinder
takes place and much of it seeps past
the piston rings into the crank case
and dilutes the oil, thus reducing the
efficiency of the motor.
The average carburetor Is not able
to make good fuel from the stuff used
nowadays unless it is helped along
with some device that forces the fuel
into the cylinders as pure gas.
r There Is device now on the mar
ket called the "Cyclomizer,' which is
installed between the carburetor and
the intake manifold on the motor and
forces the gas into the cylinders under
great pressure, thus insuring complete
breaking up Of the fuel into gas and
complete combustion.
Numerous tests made on many diff
ferent makes Of cars show that this
invention will clean dirty spark plugs
in a few hundred miles of running
and will practically eliminate carbon
in the motor. Carbon Is caused by
incomplete combustion of the fuel in
the cylinders. When the fuel Is only
partially burned there is residue left
which soon accumulates and then loss
of power results and every other i'll
that motors are heir to.
This Cyclomizer Is the invention OF
E. e. McClaran, a well-known archi-
tect of Portland, Ore. McClaran had
trouble with his automobile on ac-
count of the low-grade fuel he was
using and put his wits to work and
devised the Cyclomizer. He took the
name from the effect of the invention
on the fuel. The gas is blown into
the cylinders with the force OF cy-
clone, thoroughly gasified and ready
to be entirely consumed when the
spark ignites 1t.
study of the carburetor showed
McClaran that the trouble was in the
carburetion system, because even ker-
osene will make a highly explosive
mixture if properly gasified and mixed
with air. When the gas leaves the
spray nozzle In the carburetor 1t hits
the throttle valve, which. like the dam
per in a stove pipe, regulates the
amount of gas and air entering the
manifold. 1t throws the gas against
the side of the manifold, which IS
round and tends to bunch the gas In
a knot, in liquid form; also there is
nothing between the carburetor ana
the motor to break up the gas, ana
mIcb of It goes into the motor In
liquid form.
when this mixture containing some
raw fuel gets into the cylinders only
the part that Is pure gas Is exploded
The LIQUID seeps into the crank case
and dilutes the oil.
The Cyclomizer, placed between tne
carburetor and the motor, FORCES inc
fuel into the motor in finely diVlaeo
gas. thus making it possible 10 purii
all the gas, eliminating carbon troubles
and a whole list of motor ills resulting
from carbon.
