FORD TEST,

In Swiss Alps.

SIX DAYS' RUNNING.

An official test of the Modėl A Ford motor in Switzerland, with the Alps as the proving ground, has demonstrated that, the new Ford could be operated for a long. continuous period over abrupt, steep hills, without lifting the hood. Reports of the test have: just been received by the Ford) Motor Company.

The Ford motor was kept runn- ing for a period of six days' and during virtually all of that time the car was en route over the Alpine passes, a relief taking over the operation while the driver rested. Day and night the teet continued. No attempt was made for distance or speed, the sole object being to determine the reliability and power of the automobile,

The fact that the trip was made, when roads and climate conditions in the mountains were bad, fs cited as further evidence of the stability of the Ford car. A strictly standard Model A Ford with Tudor body was used. Zurich was the starting point. The hood of the car was sealed officially by a representative of the "township.1 Two persons occupied the car, the driver and his rellof...

Passing through Lucerne and the Grimsel Pass, the car took the Furka Pass at an altitude of 2,431 meters, then the St. Gothard Pass down the Italian lakes through all the large Swiss towns and back to Zurich. On íta return the," "sealk were examined by the official, who frat laced them on the hood and were found intact.

In each town the car was stopp- ed, but not the motor. The motor. ran constantly from the time tho car was started in Zúrich until the return six days later,

The course is one of the most, difficult. In Europe. In addition to the hard road the driver had to combat such obstacles as snow, mist, flocks of sheep and. Herds of eattle, frequently detouring on trails that were little more thán paths.
