AFRANKL|N

Shortly before the city Of New
York sailed from New York harbor
q few days ago., headed for the
Antarctic regions as advance sup
ply ship for Commander Byrd s
South Pole expedition. Franklin
air-cooled engine was swung aboard
for use on the polar Ice cap.
With the Byrd South Pole expedi-
ton drawing upon the very latest
scientific data and engineering
knowledge to guarantee success OF
the venture. the selection Of q
Franklin air-cooled engine Is re-
garded in all quarters Of the auto.
motive field as q distinct tribute
to the outstanding efficiency and
reliability Of the Franklin air-cooled
power plant, and it is expected that
this engine will contribute material
aid to the expedition.
The Franklin engine will be used
in the polar regions for hosting.
for portable power installations and
various Utility purposes where
power plants OF another type would
fail to function under severe condi-
tions of the Antarctic.
The use OF q Franklin engine, in
conjunction with the air-cooIed
motors employed in the airplanes
to carry the explorers over the last
few hundred miles of icy stretches.
gives the final stamp OF approval
on the efficiency Of the air-cooled
type OF power plant.
