Everlasting Gears

THE non-technical motorist knows that the Morris is remarkable value; that it is a most extraordin- arily reliable and efficient car, and that for the money. there is no car to compare with it.

The technically minded may care to know of some of the factors by which this reliability is obtained.

For example, Morris gears are practically everlasting because they are made from 31% Nickel Chromium case-hardened steel forgings. The tooth shapers, for cutting Morris gears cost over £2,000 while the cost of the total gear plant exceeded £80,000. Non-technical motorists, if they would have still further proof of Morris value, should refer these facts to their technical friends.
