smooth power application.
Several rcfinelnents in the power
plant have served to increase the
power Of the 0ldsmobile six cylinder
engine, at the same time increasing
its economy of operation. A new
type of light cast iron piston is now
used, with two compression rings and
one oil regulating ring. This installa-
ton incorporates the newest features
of automobile engine fabrication. The
Inlet valves have been enlarged, the
valve lift increased and the cams given
mn improved contour, all resulting IN
smother operation and greater power.
CHAIN DRIVE.
One Of the major rcfincments in
the power plant is the use of silent
chain drive instead of gears for the
operation of the cam shaft and gener-
ator. This change results in very quiet
engine operation. The Carter carbure-
TOR is now used, giving greatly in
creased power throughout the entire
driving range, especially in quick &c
celeFation from low speeds.
additional strength has been given
the frame by the use of tubular front
cross member instead Of one of press
ed steel. Several other mechanical'
