manager for Clair r. Marston, the
local Franklin dealer. Much has
been said about preheating gasoline
after the engine is running, but manu-
facturers of motor cars generally
have devoted little attention to the
far more important consideration of
preheating' fuel before the engine
starts to turn over.
Franklin engineers, however,
years ago saw the necessity of solv-
ing this problem and the electric
primer. standard equipment on the
Franklin since 1917, is the
answer. The pressure of finger on
the toggle switch on the dash sends
an electric current through the prim
err coil which becomes glowing red.
and at the same time opens a passage
way which leads to the cylinders. AS
the engine is crankcd the gasoline
passes over the hot coil. changes to
a vaporous state. is drawn into the
cylinders and is exploded readily.
Easy cold weather starting on the
Franklin is. moreover. facilitated by
the use of very efficient fuel trans
former, which converts all gasoline
into a vapor that ignites easily. burns
completely and is transformed into
power.
'In addition to the electric primer
and the fuel transformer, the fact
that the Franklin is air cooled and
hence unaffected by the lowest tenn
peratures, results in the Franklin
owner experiencing entire freedom
from cold weather worries"
