. . A LIFETIME CAP. Mr. John W. Bate, the great efficiency engineer, has, in designing the "Mitchell " aimed at a lifetime car. '■ Two Bate-built Mitchells, still in good condition, have run over 200,000 miles apiece, ..Seven of them are known to have averaged over 175,000 miles apiece, or more than 30 years' ordinary service.' So far as we know, no other car ever built has approached those endurance records. Those records, however, were made by Mitchell, built under former standards of 50 per cent, over-strength. That was the standard Mr. Hate adopted years ago. It made him, at that time, 6ecm an .extremist. Other engineers argued that" in ordinary driving no such margin of safety was necessary. But that overstrength is what nindo Mitchell Cars render their marvellous service. But three years ago Mr. Bate spent a year in Europe. There he found a standard, amongst foremost engineers, of 100 per ceut. over-strength. That standard was based on European Toads. It would not mean '.hat much margin here. But it suggested to Mr. Bate the same double strength, based on less favourable conditions. Since then. Mr. Bate has constantly ■worked to double oar margins of safety. He has worn out fifty cars in learning Ihe needed strength, lie has invented tests to prove that every vital part has twice the strength required. This year, for the first time, we announce that Mitchells in all important parts have 100 per cent, over-strength. That is, they are built to twice the strength standards of the Mitchells which made those records. Over 440 parts are built of-toughened steel. All parts which got a major strain are built of Chrome-Vanadium, and built oversize. '. Axles, gears, steering and driving parts aro constantly tested for this double strength. The factory r ,nalyse'all steels to ensure it, arid parts are subjected to tremendous factoiy tests. Call and inspect the latest 5 and 7passenger Models at INGLIS .BKOS.
