An Engine That Digests
Low-Grade Gas and Makes
High Power. Out of It
The thing about the great Chalmers engine that
counts is the fact that it actually digests the gas fed to
it (and low-grade gas especially).
Everyone knows now that the grade of gasoline
is on the decline, and that probably high-grade gas, or
even the gas of a year ago, will never come back.
And like a man who has been on a high-grade diet and
is suddenly given a low-grade diet, many engines
in automobiles now have gasoline indigestion.
The Chalmers engine digests gas probably as no
engine ever before has done. It makes high power
out of low-grade gas.
It makes gasoline work harder than gasoline ever
worked before.
Anyone who knows anything about an engine
knows that the everlasting riddle has been to get the
gas in just exactly a 100% condition of vapor in the
combustion chamber before ignition.
The great Chalmers engine has accomplished this,
so far as any engine probably ever will be able to do,
by means of two clevcr devices.
One is a "hot spot" feature which heats and "breaks
up" the gas after it leaves the carburetor and before it
gets to the intake manifold. The other is the "ram s-
horn" manifold that, by means of its "easy air
bends," sends the gas to the combustion chamber
well-nigh perfect.
Hence, more power out of less gas.
On a cold day remarkably quick results in starting
are obtained.
No longer a 10-minute fight with your engine. And
as soon as the Chalmers engine starts it runs smoothly
and delivers power quickly.
Often cars take ten minutes of running to "warm
them up."
But not so with the current Chalmers.
And if you weren't a shrewd judge of an automo-
bile, you might overlook some of the other notable
features of the current Chalmers, so great has become
the achievements of its engine.
Go down to our salesroom and let us show you the
great Chalmers engine and the perfection of the current
Chalmers.
