| NEW DEVICE MAKES
USE OF LOW GRADE
GAS SATISFACTORY
Fuel Transformer Is Fea-
ture of Franklin
Series 10 Motor.

With the announcement of its new
series 10 motor recently. the Franklin
Automobile Company introduced de-
vice for promoting efficient consump-
ton of low grade gasoline which has
excited unusual comment, both with
the motoring public and in automv-
tive engineering circles.
This new device, which is known
as a fuel transformer, is situated be-
tween the carburetor and the intake
manifold and prevents entry of raw
gasoline into the cylinders. The de-
vice is SO arranged that vaporized gas
passes into the intake manifold with
out hindrance. 1t is automatic in OPP
Grafton. Unvaporized gasoline is
checked and returned through two
passages into the main channel, where
it is drawn upward by suction across
corrugated surfaces, which are heated
to high temperature by exhaust gases.
1t is possible to send the heavy
ends" which is gas that does not cas-
lily vaporize. around this circuit ses-
eral times if necessary in order to
break it up.
The fuel transformer is not only of
great value in producing greater mile
age and more power from a given
quantity of gasoline, but prevents the
entry of raw gasoline into the cylin
ders. When the latter occurs the raw
gas passes down into the crankcase
and causes :crankcase. SOUP" mixing
with the oil and robbing it of much
of it's lubricating qualities.
Operation of the fuel transformer is
simplicity itself, and it requires abso-
lutely no attention.
Tests have shown that the temper
ature of the MIXTURE passing through
the fuel transformer to the inlet
manifold is very nearly uniform at all
times, ranging from 15G to 166 degrees
Fahrenheit when the driving speed is
above fifteen miles an hour.
The fuel transformer was originated

LIKE THE LINCOLN
Car Increasing Rapidly in Popularity
Under Ford Ownership. ~

That the Lincoln car has been gain
ing rapidly in popularity since its
acquisition by the Ford Motor Com
pany is shown by production figures
received by the San Antonio dealers.
February marked the first an
niversary of the Ford acquisition of
the Lincoln plant and during the
eleven months of 1922. under Ford
management, the plant enjoyed the
grcaest period in its history.
Shipments of Lincoln cars during
January. 1922, were but 80.
In February. the first month Of
Ford ownership, Lincoln car ship
ments increased to 1876.
And gains continued with June. the
peak month, showing 1873 deliveries.
The year 1922 closed with a total
of 5242 Lincoln car shipments, a
monthly average of Alb for the eleven
months under the Ford ownership.
Though this was the largest pro-
duction year in the history of the car,
the remarkable feature is that efforts
of the Lincoln division of the Ford
Motor Company were all along cen
tered chiefly upon quality with pro-
duction a secondary consideration.
Ford engineers found the Lincoln
motor n real achievement. but refine
ments were made in the head, piston
material and finish of certain parts.
all of which resulted in smoother op-
GRAFTON.
Body construction was given close
attention. The most exacting inspec-
ton was established and the smooth,
clear. rich finish and color of Lincoln
models reflect the care with which in
spectors are doing their work.
Service was not overlooked. The
entire Ford organization was enlisted
in this work. Schools for dealers were
opened at all branches of the Ford
Motor Company where dealers are
learning the details of Lincoln con-
struction. The result is that Lincoln
service is rapidly becoming almost as
nationwide as Ford service.

DRIVE-AWAYS NOW
COMMON OCCURRENCE
AT OAKLAND PLANT
Dealers Thus Enabled to
Secure Their Allot-
ments Promptly.

The only factor that may interfere
with the early spring delivery of cars.
according to c. j. Nephler. general
sales manager of the Oakland Motor
Car Company, is the difficulty in
shipping motor cars, particularly to
the East and South.
Railroad shipments OF motor cars
to the West are readily taken care
Of" said Mr.. Nephler. in discussing
the situation with Charles Koehler OF
the Koehler-Kunkel Motor Company,
local Oakland distributor, "but ship
ments TO the East are clogged up due
to the lack of motive power and
equipment, the heavy snow falls and
freezing weather. Motor car com
panies have to wait for releases from
the railroads before making ship
ments.
but this condition is being offset
by our distributors and dealers, at
least. in the East and South" ex-
plains Mr.. Nephler, by their sending
in orders months ahead to care for
their spring deliveries. Thus they
give us ample time to push our ship
ments as quickly as we can and to
take advantage of any let-up OF the
congestion OF the railroads.
I'VE are having motor cars driven
away to cities within wide radius
of the factory, such as Cleveland, Gin
cinnati. Pittsburg. Indianapolis, Chi
cago. Grand Rapids and Saginaw.
1T was considered at one time that
the driving of motor cars from factory
to points of destination was bad prac-
tice and injurious to cars.

OVERLAND SPECIAL
CROSSES NATION IN
SEVEN DAYS TIME
All Records for Speed
Broken in Transcon-
tinental Run.

The largest engine ever used on
the Pacific coast arrived in Los
Angeles, Cal, on January 80 with a
42-car trainload of Overland and
Willys-Knight automobiles from To
ledo, Ohio, according to word received
here by i. d. Mckee of the San An
tonic Overland Co.
On this run all transcontinental
records for speed were broken, the
trip being made from Toledo in seven
days.
The train left Toledo, over the Wa
bash at 8 30 p. m, January %. and
arrived at Kansas City s :5j n. m,
January %; was delivered to the
Union Pacific at Kansas City and left
over that line at 1 p. m, January
%, arriving in Los Angeles IL 30
p. m, January 80.
OF the seven days total run, five
days were occupied in the trip from
Kansas City to Los Angeles,
This train was pulled into Los
Angeles by one of the new 1000
series, Union Pacific system, loco
motives. which was the first one of
that series to enter that city.
The Union Pacific is placing fif-
teen of these locomotives in passen-
ger service, and owing to the fact
that these new engines are among
the largest and most powerful in use
in the United States, considerable
interest was attached to the arrival
of this train.
These engines cost approximately
sos. 900 each and some idea of their
dimensions may be gained from the
following figures: total weight OF en-
CINE and tender loaded, 5S2, 500
pounds; cylinders % inches in diam.
eter by % inches stroke; weight of
drivers 100000 pounds; total weight
of engine loaded 345,00O pounds
total wheel base of engine and tender
20 feet, IL IL inches; crate area
81 square feet.
This trainload' of 40 cars Of Over
land and Willys-Knight automobiles
was in response to an urgent call
for quick delivery On the Pacific
coast of new 1923 models.
