- THE NEW CARAll that engineers have learned, all that millions of owners have experienced in nearly a quarter of a century, have made possible this car which is to-day as far ahead of its time as was the famous Model T in 1908. It marks a new epoch in automotive engineering ia point -of inbuilt quality—niceties of mechanical design, lavish use of the finer metals, precision in delicate machining processes. Nowhere in its construction has there been slighting of either major essentials or minor details. You can see the graceful lines and fine appearance of the new models as the cars pass you on the road, but it is the hidden mechanism that provides the power. Read here what has been embodied in. “The Oar that sets the Standard” for power, comfort and economy. / The New Motor— At 2200 revolutions per minute, the new-Ford four-cylinder motor develops 40 H.P. This revolution speed is low for such power and sets an entirely new standard for light car speed and acceleration, enduring qualitv ajnrl operating economy. The 'bore is 3}in.‘ and the stroke 4Jin. The New Clutch and Transmissionpatterned after the famous Lincoln, these units give an operating ease never before found;in moderate priced cars. The nine plate multiple dry disc clutch and the transmission are designed to make shift*, ing of gears remarkably easy. G-etaway is unexcelled by any car made to-day. Three speeds foTward and one reverse. AH gears are made of heat-treated’ chrome alloy steel. The o-nly light ca® in which transmisison shafts are mounted on ball and roller bearings. The New Lubrication System— The combination of splash, pump and gravity feed gives complete and constant lubrication of the motor. It is triple insurance for perfect lubrication, regardless of road grades. All oil pumped from the crankcase to upper reservoirs for gravity feed to main bearings and to be splashed to cylinder walls, timing gears and all other bearings- passes through an oil strainer so as to exclude all foreign particles. The New Electrical System— •• All the features of improved practice plus important contributions by Ford engineers have been combined. The new Tord designed distributor is mounted oil the cylinder head and connected to spark plugs by means of short bronze bands instead of long wires ordinarily exposed to wafer and oil. The powerful starting motor and reliable generator arc also of Ford design. The co-incidental lock makes the car theft-proof. ■ The New Cooling System— To prove the efficiency of this remarkable cooling system fake the new car over a 300-mile stretch at high speed. The combination pump and thermo-syphon action, the 24 gallon capacity radiator and a specially designed aeroplane type fan co-ordinate to keep the engine temperature at an. efficient degree. The thermo-syphon action also permits the motor to warm up. quickly to give excellent cold weather performance. The New Rear Axle— Those who understand the important function of the rear axle will appreciate the enduring quality of the three-quarter floating principle. The axle shaft' itself carries no weight whatever as the threequarter floating principle places the weight on the forged steel axle housing, which in turn is equipped with flexible roller bearings-. Drive is through torque tube with spiral bevel gear. The New Four-Wheel Brakes— These are of the mechanical internal expanding type widely recognised as superior because of their trouble proof simplicity. All braking surfaces are completely enclosed. An automatic equaliser insures correct braking pressure on each wheel and an anti-oil leak guard prevents -oil from gaining access to brake lining. Each brake is equipped with a simple adjusting device for taking up wear. All, brakes are operated by either foot pedal or hand, lever. - \ 23 Years of Public Preference.
