Victoria Petrol Engine.

This engine starts instantly, is at no expense when not working, and requires no lamp or hot tube. Any labouring man can start and run them — an advantage quite in-

valuable in the country, wherever power is required. The following <-" special features are embodied in the construction of these petrol engines. The cylinder, water jacket, and combustion chamber are cast in one piece, with no joints to leak and give trouble, and is securely bolted to the crank case. The fly wheels are so fitted that they can easily be taken off ; the whole of the gear wheels, cams, etc., are enclosed in the crank case and run in oil. The petrol Jlows direct

from the tank to the vapouriser, there being no pump or pipes with the usual leaky jointsj oints and unions. The inlet and exhaust valves are operated by cams, therefore they cannot stick and do not hammer. Either valve can be taken out for cleaning.

Bradford Corporation means to extend its already somewhat considerable motor plant.
