and, after all, reliability, is the essential requirement. Criticism is sometimes made against the Crossley Engine that it is too robust, and that by reducing the amount of metal and workmanship put into it the price could be reduced. Over half a century's experience has proved that cheapness at the expense of reliability is false economy.
Users of Crussley Gas Engines and Plants know the value of their reliability-particularly in those countries where skilled labour is got available, and spare parts have to be obtained from home.
