THE MARINE MOTOR WITH POWER TO SPARE

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This motor is a four cycle, four cylinder D head type motor. In general appearance it is compact and clean cut, 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 festure 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 RP.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 pro 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 gradusted, 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
