A REMARKABLE DEVICE.

INSTALLED BY A STRATFORD MOTOR FIRM. Local motor car owners whose cars are equipped with electric starting and lighting systems will be interested in a remarkable device just installed by the Auto Electric Specialists, Lear Street—which they"recently purchased from a large Cbicngo concern. A most interesting demonstration was made showing Ambu, this i strument, in action attached to a car at the garage recently—it was weird to see the almost human intelligence of the Ambu as its indicating arrow slowly moved this way or that on the dial showing certain conditions normal or the ?ocat'on of trouble or faults in the electric system on the ear." No doubt many would say that it wag impossible for any device to automatically indicate the scat of trouble, bust they said of the aeroplane and the submarine—not possible—yist they're ilyi-g in the air and sailing under the sea. Thig invention and its remarkable ability was described and discussed in the leading periodicals of the country. The motorists of Stratford are singularly fortunate in having a garage progressive enough to appreciate th<> advantage of owning such an instrument, and they should show their appreciation in a substantial way, I'lie garage plans to charge fee of 7s (id for a test of the entire electrical equipment of a car—which will probably indicate the beginning of some trouble which can be quickly corrected and save a big expense later. Ambu not only tells the location and kind of trouble but also how to repair it. So car owners need not lay up their cars or go to the trouble and expense of sending parts back t 0 the makeis of the electrical equipment. It is said that serious derangements of electric starting and lighting systems have been located and repaired in 30 minutes through the aid of Ambu. The Auto Electric Specialists seem very much interested in showing the instrument to any one, and it is fascinating to s.re it in action. We surely are living in a progressive age.x For TnflnoTiwj, tako Wood' s Gn.ni Peppwruniii Cim>. l« fxi, 2* 0d
