V-7yPe Principle
Power Plant Desie

TT is significant fact that the greatest
l. achievements in power plant developments
for aircraft and motor cars are based alike
on the V-type principle.
For IA years Cadillac has been the exponent
and chief developer of this principle as ap-
piled to automobile motive power.
And now the Graf Zeppelin, in completing
triumphantly the first commercial trans
Atlantic flight, brings dramatic confirma-
ton of the superiority of this principle.
Out of the eastern skies comes this majes-
tic silver ship, largest and fastest of its
kind ever constructed, to prove, as Cadillac
has proved with hundreds
of thousands of cars ON ~
land, that the V-type RN
engine is supreme; for the M M
five great power plants of EsRsSs A.35ES ~
the Graf Zeppelin are of @E II
the V-type-just as is the
Cadillac La Sale engine. = l.

tended in the name of the United
