TWO CARBURETORS
CHEAPER THAN ONE
lie gun mechanism increases accuracy

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 14.-The
old adage that two can live cheaper
than one has another supporter -
]. F. Dixon of 1885 South Hope
street. local distributor of Zenith
carburetors.
Following airplane and racing
practice, complete installation has
been worked out for Hudson cars,
consisting of two Zenith carbure.ors
and the necessary fittings" according
to Mr.. Dixon. "and these give a 1924
1925 or 1926 Hudson 40 per cent To
30 per cent more mileage, with great
~ increased power and pep"
Carburetion engineers have long
known that proper gas distribution 10
six cylinders is very difficult to OBJ
tain. Maximum economy and power
are well nigh impossible, because a
tiny trickle OF gas must be divided
equally TO all six cylinders. During
the war il was illustrated beyond
question that multiple carburetors
were highly efficient. Such successful
aviation engines as the Liberty, Re-
nault and Sunbeam use the equiva-
lent Of one carburetor to each three
cylinders. So it is not an untrie0
principle. Racing cars, speed boats
and most of the six-cylinder foreign
cars use one car5uretor for each three
cylinders.
'The chief obstacle to multiple car
buretion is TO get each carburetor &c
feed the same air-gas mixture to all
six cylinders. Zenith experience dur.
ing the war in designing and perfect
ing the Liberty motor carburetor has
proven invaluable in this connection
The Zenith fixed adjustment solved
this problem" says Mr.. Dixon.

HOW GUN is LUBRICATED.

Upon thorough fabrication. accord
ing TO Edward Rosalie, a civilian ord
nance machinist who is one of a party
Of five appointed as convoy for this
gun across the continent, depends TO
no small degree the efficient operation
Of this gun.
There are 60 fabrication points on
the gun mechanism. All four mount
lifting screws, comprising a vital piece
Of the guns mechanism, are fabricated
by means Of the Alemite high pressure
system. Other important parts which
are equipped are All gearing mechan.
ism for the top carriage and mount
lifting gears and the ammunition com.
partment. In the latter alone there
are one dozen Alemite nipples. The
Alemite system likewise is used to lu-
bricate the trunions that raise and
lower the gun itself, and on the roller
bearing in the top carriage raising
screws. This last named part must be
fabricated each time the gun is raised
for firing.
The other appointed members Of its
convoy crew are: Major Harold Z.
Small, Of the sd Coast Artillery
Captain F. J. Fitzpatrick, Sergeant
William Bryson. Corporal Glenn
ODonald, all Of Battery d, sd Coast

The monster piece of ordnance, in
Guiding the rifle and mount, weighs

of four trucks or cars with a total
of Il axles. was built to carry it.
The gun itself is 95 feet 4 inches

the mobile pieces heretofore used by
the army as well as over any equip
