The "MICRO" Cylinder Grinder. This machine has been designed and developed for the pur- pose of producing as nearly perfect automobile cylinders as is humanly possible. With the "MICRO" process, a cool. ing compound is forced through the patented main spindle. directly
between the cylinder wall and the grinding wheel.
This method not only washes, the cylinder free from all sediment, giving a clear path for the omery wheel, but prevents distortion due to unequal expansion and contraction by keeping the work cool The "MICRO" process gives the resulting
surface a glazed mirror-like finish and prevents, not only in the cylinders but on the pistons and rings, the wear incident to running hundreds of miles. When cylinders are refinished by the "MICRO" process, the motor owner can be certain that everything humanly possible in cylinder correction has been done to bring his engine up to the highest efficiency. Estimates gladly given and the reasonableness of our charge will pleasantly surprise you.
