CATALOG OF THE AUTOMOBILE COLLECTION 21 



it was driven from the factory in Ardmore, Pa., to the automobile show 

 at Madison Square Garden in New York City in 6 hours 5 minutes 

 over frozen, rutty, country roads. 



The car has a 4-passenger body with a rear-entrance tonneau, with 

 the controls to the left of the driver's seat. The upper handle of the 

 two control handles which stand up at the driver's hand is the steering 

 control ; the lower is the gear shift. Between the body molding and 

 the seat cushion is a lever that operates the clutch when worked back 

 and forth. Twisting the handle of this lever controls the carburetor 

 throttle. Outside the body, to the driver's left, is a small handle for 

 adjusting the spark. 



Three pedals include a ratchet-locked pedal operated by the left 

 foot, controlling external contracting brake bands on the drums of the 

 two rear wheels. Another is a spring-returned pedal that operates 

 external contracting brake bands on a drum behind the transmission. 

 The third, also spring-returned, actuates a shift to place the trans- 

 mission in reverse. 



The chassis, which has a wheel base of 66l^ inches and a tread of 56 

 inches, is of wood reinforced by steel. The four fenders are wooden. 



The four springs are full-elliptic, and front and rear axles are both 

 tubular. The front axle has a conventional tie rod, but the rear end 

 of the drag link on the left is cut in the form of a toothed rack which 

 meshes with a pinion on the lower end of the steering lever. The 

 rear axle has an enclosed differential and is stiffened by a brace. 

 Torque rods lead from the top and bottom of the differential housing 

 to a cross member at the left center of the chassis. The wooden wheels 

 each have 14 spokes and mount 28-by-3-inch clincher tires. 



The engine is a 2-cylinder, horizontal-opposed unit of 3%-inch bore 

 and 4-inch stroke. It is held in the frame by two metal strap hangers 

 from each cylinder and is trussed by two rods to each side of the 

 frame. The exhaust valve of each cylinder is operated by a camshaft 

 m the crankcase between the two cylinders. The intake valves are 

 automatic in operation. A spark plug is located adjacent to each in- 

 take valve. The ignition timer is' at the rear of the plate on the top of 

 the crankcase. A small breather pipe is also attached to the plate. 

 In the flywheel at the back of the engine is a floating-disk clutch, 

 operated by the lever already mentioned. 



Each cylinder has its individual exhaust pipe, one going to the right 

 of the car, the other to the left, and each leading into a separate muffler 

 under the floor of the tonneau. There is an equalizer tube between 

 the two exhaust pipes just in front of the two mufflers. 



The carburetor is located under the front floorboard to the right. 

 An air intake tube conducted hot air into the carburetor, the air being 

 heated in a circular device attached to the front of the water tank
