New Carburetor Has
Only Few Adjustments

"One OF the most recent improve
ments incorporated in the Cole Aero
Eight models that add to the smooth
operation Of the motor is the special
carburetor with which the models are
equipped. 1t has been designed par
ticularly for the Zero Eight motor and
will answer its requirements at all
times without the different adjustments
common to most carburetors." saws
Russell L. Engs, the local Cole dis
tributer.
IAN accelerating we'll at ths side of
tho carburetor IL provided with q small
plunger attached to the throttle lever.
This device makes it possible for the
maximum amount Of gasoline to be
supplied to the motor almost instantly.
pushed open all at once the plun1er
forces raw fuel from the accelerating
we'll into the intake manifolds. In this
way the motor can be supplied with the
maximum amount of fuel in an instant
and the car is afforded smooth, quick
pickup.
Only two adjustments are possible
on the new carburetor. These are the
high speed and the low speed adjust
ments. The two changes are always
made at the Cole factory when they are
thoroughly tested, and 1t is seldom
necessary for the motorist to give them
any attention whatsoever. When the
low and high speed needles are adjust
ed properly the Aero-Eight motor will
operate smoothly at its maximum revo-
and the changes from these speeds may
be made with great rapidity by merely
operating the hand throttle or foot
accelerator"

Not How Fast, but How
Far, Is Question Now
Light Weight and F1exibility of
Chassis Are Factors in AT.
tanning This End

Speed over = measured milo undo,
speedway conditions has lost much o1
its old-tims interest to tho expert
enced motor car owner. Tho question
that 10 asked now is, "What viii the
car do in . days run ovsr average
roads I"
The reason 10 found In the general
use Of cars for long distance driving
and the desire Of &hs swnsx to make
the tz1p as rapidly and - comfortably
as possible.
Not so long ago the locomotive ap-
pearing hood, housing . power plant
with speed possibilities Of 100 miles
an hour. displaced in the minds Of the
prospective buyer the moro practical
advantages Of q power plant and chas-
sis that would give real road speed
where it was needed.
But owners Of these power freaks
soon discovered that tho speedway
stretches did not appear with any de-
gree of frequency in ordinary road
driving.
The 1oo-rnils An hour giant never
found use for It's strength and served
only to eat up money In fuel and tire
costs.
Now the tendency is to train the
modern car down In weight and brute
strength and adapt it to real salts
faction In road service by keeping 1t
light and flexible. Gradually heavy
reinforcements, rigid members and
bulky construction are being dropped.
The talk now Is light weight and
shock absorbing construction. Speed
is gauged by what the car will do in
road miles a running hour and not in
miles an hour over q sprinter's stretch.
Among exponents Of light weight
and Aexibility as proper design for
road speed is the Holmes Company,
maker Of the Holmes improved air-
cooled car.
In, the Holmes full elliptic springs
and fexibility in the chassis have per-
mitted road speed Of 30-4O miles an
hour over roads that have usually been
considered as bad to travel at 1920
miles an hour.
