Jerks and Repair Bills vs. ContmUOUS 



HP HE single-cylinder motor car jerks itself along. You can almost 



^ see each separate jerk. The four-cylinder car differs from the 



single-cylinder chiefly in that it has four times as many jerks. Perhaps 



you never thought of it in just that way but it's an absolute fact. 



Jerks are the worst enemy of motoring. 



Jerks eat up tires, devour gasoline 

 and oil, and shake your car into the re- 

 pair shop. 



All makers know that. 



Some of them have acknowledged it 

 by using heavy flywheels. 



But heavy flywheels only lessen the 

 shock of each jerk and do not cure the 

 jerk Itself. 



Like giving the baby a sleeping opiate 

 (so he'll not feel the pain) without do- 

 Ing one solitary thing to remove the 

 cause of the pain. 



Jerks In a motor car are due to the 

 power-strokes of the piston. 



The carpenter comes and tears out 

 every fifth step. 



That leaves four steps and a gap, four 

 more steps and a gap, four more steps 

 and another gap. 



In climbing those stairs, you have to 

 jump every fifth step, don't you? 



That's practically what every four- 

 cylinder motor has to do driving Its car. 



For every four-cylinder motor pro- 

 duces power only four-flftlis the time 

 and has to jump the one-fifth gap before 

 it produces power again. 



And it makes absolutely no difference 

 how fast the motor turns over, or how 

 many flywheels it may have. 



Six-cylinder motors produce power 

 six-fifths the time. 



Thus In the Six, power in each cylin- 

 der always overlap* power in each pre- 

 ceding cylinder one-fifth the time. 



The result is Continuous Power. 



The Six produces more than enough 

 power to fill the gap. 



So, there Is never an instant of "no 

 power" In the Six. 



And there is never a jerk in the Six, 

 because there is no gap. 



A 48 horse-power, single-cylinder car 

 jerks Itself along under 28,800 pound 

 power-strokes 28,800 pound jerks. 



A 48 horse-power, four-cylinder car 

 jerks along under four times as many 

 jerks, each jerk having 7200 pounds be- 

 hind it 7200 pound jerks. 



But the Six-Cylinder car (no matter 

 how great its horse-power) doesn't jerk 

 at all, because It has Continuous Power. 



Mark this: The Six Is the only gaso- 

 line car that has Continuous Power. 



No motor car can have Continuous 

 Power unless It has Six Cylinder!. 



Continuous Power and Six Cylinders 

 are inseparable. 



At home you have a flight of stairs. 



If all the steps were replaced, you 

 could ascend and descend your stairs 

 without acrobatics. 



So, If a motor could only produce 

 power all the time, It wouldn't be 

 necessary to resort to futile flywheel 

 acrobatics. 



And as your acrobatics do not* replace 

 the missing steps, so neither do flywheel 

 acrobatics supply the missing power. 



One-cylinder motors 

 one-fifth the time. 



Four-cylinder motors 

 four-fifth! the time.

The Application of Power in the Six-Cylinder Motor 



Because it has a stream of Continuous 

 Power, without ever a jerk, the Six ii 

 the smoothest, sweetest-running motor 

 in the world. 



Continuous Power saves tires and re- 

 pair bills. Twenty Wlnton Sixes traveled 

 184,190 miles (more than seven times 

 around the earth) on total repair ex- 

 penses of $142.43. 



That averages 77 cents per 1000 miles. 

 What was your average, Mr. Owner, 

 on jerky power? 



Continuous Power does more 

 work than jerky power. That's 

 ~~^~~ why the Six motor will drive 

 its car, on high gear, at a mo- 

 tor speed so slow that. If at- 

 tempted on a four, the motor

would stall. 



Since the Six motor will do 

 this, the higher speeds of the 

 Six motor represent Reserve 

 Power. 



This Reserve Power makes 

 the Six the best hill-climber 

 there is. 



Ability to run on high gear 

 at extremely slow motor-speed, 

 reduces the necessity of gear- 

 shifting In traffic and on hills. 

 That means Flexibility.

Flexibility means Economy. 

 Everybody knows the economy 

 of continuous use of the high 

 gear, and the wastefulness of 

 low gears.
