creating great efficiency. The valve
lifters are of the mushroom type,
designed to distribute wear evenly.
Valve guides and the entire valve
litter assembly are exposed to a
constant oil mist from the crank
case, insuring quiet operation.
The cylinder block and crankcase
are made in single casting. The
crankshaft is balanced two ways,
both statically and dynamically, and
has three large bronze-ba backed, inter
changeabie Chadwick bearings, as
I perfected for Liberty aircraft en-
gines.
All the latest improvements and
developments brought out during
the last few years both by automo-
tive engineers in this country and
! abroad, have been incorporated in
I the new Oldsmobile Six. The engine
has three-point suspension, and is of
the high efficiency type, operating
/ smoothly and quietly at all speeds,
with a quick pickup in traffic.
|. The oiling SYSTEM is unusually eff
ficient; the three camshaft bearings,
three main bearings and the six
connecting rod bearings, as well as
the timing gears, are fabricated by
oil under regulated pressure from a
! gear type pump. Perfect cooling at
| all speeds is provided by large ca
! pacity Harrison honeycomb radiator
and pump circulation. Water circu-
lates entirely around each cylinder,
valve seas and spark plug openings.
+ The pistons are of grey iron of
special design, ground on sides and
top. Three well fitted piston rings

der walls are given glass like fin

/ tirely in the cylinder head, is dome

The engine has a displacement OF

/ A gallon of gasoline will give
from 20 to 25 miles, and gallon
4 of oil from 500 to 1000 miles. Be-
cause of scientifically correct engine
design, perfect balance of the crank
shaft and all moving parts, together
with excellent workmanship, vibra-
ton has been eliminated to a great
er extent than is usual In six cylin-
der automobiles.
The chassis of the car is built ex-
ceptionally rugged with a frame S u
inches deep and with four strone
cross members. The popular type oil
HOtchkiss drive is employed. The
power is transmitted through a pro-
peller shaft having two flexible, fab

Back lash, noises and rattles are
eliminated. This type of universal
joint is extremely long lived and the
necessity for the fabrication of such
inaccessible parts is done away with
The chassis is fabricated by the Ale
mite pressure system.
The rear axle is of the one piece
