THE GLADIATOR CAR SCORES THE i i WORLD OVER. ■ DEEDS, NOT WORDS has got to be the motto of the Motor Car, as ot everything that makes its mark. Judged by this standard, the well-known GLADIATOR Car takes first rank. Here are some facts that prove it : 1 In the Royal Automobile Club's Consumption and Speed Contest ' of 201 miles, the GLADIATOR came through FIRST for Petrol < consumption, using 8 per cent, less than the stipulated allow- < ance, and second tor speed. In the big annual French trial — the Chateau Thierry Hill Climb— the GLADIATOR was FIRST in its class. In the Gaillon Hill Climb a GLADIATOR put up fastest time. ' At the Evereux Meeting the GLADIATOR scored the fastest kilometre of the day. A GLADIATOR made the longest non-stop run ever accomplished under the observation of the Transvaal Automobile Club. (\ In all these instances the GLADIATOR was in company any car /) might be proud of. Yet it scored heavily. There's a reason ' behind these performances. >.

H m The frame* of most bicycles are built of steel tabes held together ;H ■ M by OMtiron joint* or lags. Cast-iron is che*p as raw material, and H H M «uy to manipulate, but has no other ebum on the attention of mann- H* H m facturers. If enough of it is used, iufflcient strength can be obtained. ■ ■ m but at the expense of balk and weight. ■ * ■ m The unsightly swellings at each tube junction, the- break of contour of .■ H M the surface offering a tempting opportunity; for enamel to crack and peel, lh« H H W impossibility of safe weight reduction, the- inferior strength, and the deteriora- ■ ■ Mtion of the steel tubes where they enter the east-iron lugs, form adrerse factors H V *hich combine to condemn its use on ftret-class bjoy.cles. s • ■ M in Budge- Whitworths the Frames throughoat, both lags and tapes, are H ■■ nude of the same materiaWTery tough, ductile, cold-rolled steel. The uni' H ' M formitj of the material gives a unity and life to Ac Frame not otherwise ob- H WU tamable; and in certain of the joints, as in the illustration, where the head and H " . MH the top tube unite, a separate lug is dispensed with altogether, the prominence ■ ■W on the head tube, which serves as a lug< being part and paroel of the head tube ■ " IB itself, formed at the time of its construction, by pressure, from flawless steel.' ■ ■I^B V The substitution of pressed steel for the clumsy and unsuitable cast-iron further M IV ■' permits the fitting of the Tubes outside the lug*, for their great strength-aKaws them to H - be auite small and extremely light. The U*e» are an exact fit over the tapered lugs. H i so that the exterior finish is absolutely flush, and the unifoJrmity of material is »mtab\y H ' accompanied by uniformity of appearance.
