the top of the engine cylinders leads to the bottom of the 

 radiator. The top of the radiator is connected to the side 

 of the water tank, while a pipe connects the bottom of the 

 tank to the pump, the case of which is cast integrally with 

 the water manifold at the bottom of the two cylinders. 



From the bottom of the gasoline section of the tank a 

 pipe carried the fuel to both carburetors. A shut-off valve 

 handwheel is located on the top of the tank, next to the 

 filler cap. Access to both tanks is by means of a hinged 

 aluminum cover in the top of the wooden hood. 



The carburetors, which are of rather massive construc- 

 tion, have float bowls equipped with cork floats. Parts of 

 the carburetors are of aluminum, and each carburetor 

 incorporates the intake valve for its cylinder. These valves 

 are of the automatic, suction type and are controlled in the 

 amount of their opening by an air-pressure system similar 

 to that on the Winton "Bullets." An air pump, located 

 by the rear engine cylinder, is operated by a rod connected 

 to the skirt of the piston of the front cylinder. 



When the engine was running, air was compressed, and 

 this compressed air was supplied to the two intake valves 

 to control the amount of their being drawn open. A foot- 

 operated plunger and a hand valve are connected to the 

 piping, and by opening either one the pressure was caused 

 to drop according to the amount of opening. The lower 

 the pressure, the more the intake valves would open, and 

 the faster the engine would run. The carburetors contain 

 no throttle valves. 



Each cylinder of the engine has a compression release in 

 the form of a petcock. Each petcock is operated by means 

 of a long rod reaching to the right side of the body beneath 

 the seat and floorboard, where the person cranking the car 

 can easily control them. When the petcocks are closed 

 the rods are held in the proper position by clips to prevent 

 accidental opening. 



The ignition system consists of a spark plug in each cyl- 

 inder, a low-tension timer, a Jefferson spark coil, a battery, 

 and a switch. The timer can be advanced and retarded 

 by means of a small lever located to the right of the muffler 

 cut-out lever. 



The transmission, located to the right of the engine, and
