GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This motor is a four cycle, four cylinder L head type motor. In general appearance it is compact and clean out, yet there has been incorporated the greatest degree of accessibity for such adjustments as daily service requires. Careful design and manufacture under the most rigid system of inspection and final test ensures a motor of extreme refinements, that is quiet,, smooth running and powerful with the added and very important feature of economy of operation. The large valves, free intake and exhaust passages and carefully balanced and light weight ́ reciprocating parts make this motor unusually powerful at the slow speeds as well as the higher speeds up to 1400-R.P.M. There is no unpleasent vibration at the high speeds.
In order that this motor shall stand up and have endurance under severe conditions, there have been provided liberal pros. portions of such feature as bearing area, water jacket volume and connecting rod & crank shaft strength. Lubrication is direct and positive. The use of accurately graduated, helical timing gears and entirely enclosed and lubricated push rods, valve springs, etc, make one of unusual-silence in operation. 4 MODELS IN STOCK-14 TO 40 HORSE POWER
