All six combustion chambers are
symmetrical and Of equal size, re-
sulting in like flow Of gas TO and
from the respective valves. Combus-
ton chambers are Of a special shape,
the result Of several years Of de-
vcl0pment work. Combustion eff
cheney is unusually high, and the
common difficulties, such as spark
knock and power noises. due to car
bon deposits. are virtually climi-
mated. To insure against distortion

The valves are Of liberal dimcn-
sions. equi-dstant from the center Of
the combustion chamber. and design
ed to give The utmost efficiency to
the cnginc.
Best possible alloy stccls are used
throughout. Unusually long guides,
with ample fabrication Of the valve
mechanism, combined with proper
cooling of valve seats, insure long
life and freedom from valve grind
ing.
The pistons are of light weight
alloy, with slotted skirt provided
with three l-8 inches rings above
the piston pin. The piston head and
the wall behind the rings are ex-
ceptionally thick to insure necessary
strength for the high powered motor.
Cooling Is Enthusiastically
Controlled
The cooling system consists Of an
efficient cellular radiator with re-
movable shell. four-blade fan. in
tegrally mounted with centrifugal
pump in the front Of the cylinder
water jacket, and driven by V belt
from the crankshaft at speed Of
approximately l l-2 times.
The water pump and fan are
mounted on single bracket, and
the shaft is carried on plain bush
ing at the rear, and ball bearing
at the front, which takes the belt
load as we'll as all end thrusts. Belt
adjustment is provided by means Of
threaded flange forming part of
the driven pulley. which permits

the radiator and delivers it directly
to the cylinder block, under the
valve passages. Water flow from
this point is carefully controlled by
openings through which the water
reaches cylinder head jacket This
insurcs long valve life, due to uni
form cooling. and eliminates all pos
sibility Of steam pockets.
The flow Of water from the cylin-
der head to the radiator is control
led by a temperature regulating de-
vice. easily accessible. This insures
a minimum water jacket temperature
of $50 degrees Fahrenheit in cold
weather. This, in turn, means great
err gasoline economy and shorter
warming up periods. The temporal
