DESCRIPTION 



Fulton trucks are lowest in first cost and lowest in mainte- 

 nance because the Fulton chassis is produced in large quantity 

 under the supervision of three engineers concentrating upon 

 just one model, whose training for years nas been to strip a 

 chassis to the clean lines of necessity — to reduce motor 

 mechanism to its sole purpose of delivering the power and 

 strength to haul continuously and effectively the rated load. 



The Fulton chassis is not just a 3000-pound truck allowing 

 a 50% overload — it has embodied in its mechanism the funda- 

 iTiental principles of unusual simplicity and sturdiness, in 

 order that it may be adopted in every line of business, han- 

 dled by every class of driver, and withstand every kind of 

 service, from the army trail or use in the woods to universal 

 farm use over unbroken fields. Fulton trucks, because of the 

 flexible character of their construction, and ease of operation 

 in congested or rough going have fihed the long-felt need for 

 a sturdier truck chassis in the popular-price IMi-ton class. 



-Fulton trucks are presented to you on the basis of the uni- 

 versal load unit of 1^/2 tons, or full 3000-pound and the 50% 

 overload carrying capacity — they can be operated at a cost 

 that makes horses prohibitively expensive. Average records 

 in actual operation of 14 miles per gallon, reduces gasoline 

 consumption to a cost under 1% cents per ton mile. This is 

 due entirely to using triple-heated gas. 



PULTON "TRIPLE-HEATED" GAS means a balance of 

 maximum efficiency and maximum pov/er in gasolne which is 



made as follows: The air is heated by a stove attached to 

 the e.xhause pipe, is introduced into the carburetor. As the 

 gasoline vapor is broken up mechanically in the carburetor, 

 this hot air vaporizes the gas to any appreciable degree. Then 

 the gasoline vapor is conducted through a cylinder block chan- 

 nel between the hot firing cylinders to the opposite side of 

 the motor where the larger particles not yet vaporized, are 

 thrown by centrifugal force against the hot walls of the ex- 

 haust-contact manifold, and broken up by the heat. There- 

 fore the volatility, vaporization or cracking of the gasoline 

 particles to the point of greatest combined efficiency and 

 power for a given volume and weight of charge, increases in 

 direct ratio wjth the temperature of the gas particles from 60 

 degrees F up to approximately 500 degrees F to 700 degrees F. 

 These in brief are the three features of FULTON "TRIPLE- 

 HEATED" GAS which have given the Fulton 11/2 -Ton Truck 

 the commanding position in operating cost per Ton-Miles. 



The Fulton truck is equipped with the internal gear drive. 

 This internal gear is very similar to the chain drive except 

 that the chain is eliminated, the weight of the load is carried 

 on a dead axle while the power is transmitted trough the in- 

 ternal gear which is entirely separate and carries no weight 

 whatsoever, all of the parts are fully enclosed from dirt and 

 insure proper lubrication. In place of the chains and sprock- 

 ets, the power is applied through the pinion and internal gears, 

 near the ream of the wheels, thereby giving the maximum 

 power.
