How Overland motors are made 
All Overland motors are designed by Overland men—> 
made by Overland men—and made in Overland factories. 
We will build 40,000 motors this year. No other automo- 
bile manufacturer will build as many of this type. That is 
why we can build them better, and for less cost. We em¬ 
ploy the most skilled motor builders in America. 
Following are a few of the most important facts about 
the Overland motor. 
Cylinders have large water-jackets and are cast singly, in¬ 
creasing cooling efficiency with the advantage of being able 
to replace a single cylinder at low cost should an accident 
occur. The crank shaft and connecting rods and all other 
forgings are of high carbon manganese steel. 
All bearings, cylinders, pistons and rings are ground to 
accurate and tested smoothness, insuring long life, freedom 
from wear and positive compression. 
All the wearing surfaoes of the valves are ground to a one- 
thousandth part of an inch. Owing to their peculiar design 
and large size they enable the motor to develop at least fif¬ 
teen per cent more horsepower than any other motor of 
the same bore and stroke. 
The cam shafts are drop-forged (in our own drop-forge 
plant, which is the largest in the industry) oil-treated and 
case-hardened. They are ground and maonined automatic¬ 
ally, insuring positive accuracy in the relative position 
of one cam to another. 
This is the only car of its class provided with a five-bearing 
crank shaft. This crank shaft is drop-forged from one piece 
of carbon manganese steel and rotates in five bearings of un¬ 
usually libera! size insuring quietness and extreme long 
life. 
The crank cases are cast in two sections, of the finest grade 
of aluminum alloy attainable—and cast in our own foundry. 
No other motor in the world is given a more severe test 
and thorough inspection. The engine is belted up for two 
hours, and driven by other than its own power to limber 
it up so that it will start easily. Then it is put onto the 
block and run from 8 to 16 hours under its own power. 
The Importance of 
a Powerful Motor 
AS the motor is the most important part of a car, it 
/% is safe to assume that you can judge a car by the 
/-\ performance of its motor. Therefore, be guid- 
“““■ ed and informed by the following information. 
Every practical farmer knows the value of a good 
motor in an automobile. He knows, too, from exper¬ 
ience, what constitutes a good motor and what is ex¬ 
pected of it. He wants power, economy and silence. 
The motor is the most expensive single unit of the 
Overland car. It has a 4" bore and a 4 " stroke. It is 
the most efficient 30 horsepower motor made. We say 
efficient for it has, by demonstration in tens of thousands 
of cars, proven to be the best for your specific purposes. 
It is exceptionally economical to operate—using less 
fuel per mile than any other motor of equal size. 
It is remarkably powerful, developing forty to fifty 
miles an hour with ease; and over your kind of roads, 
without eating up an unnecessary and costly quantity 
of gasoline. 
It is the only motor of its size made with a five 
bearing crankshaft which makes for real smoothness, 
silence and ease when in operation. This feature is 
only found on very high priced cars. 
It is remarkably simple. It is practically frictionless. 
Requires no coaxing or continual adjusting. In fact, 
you seldom have to lift the hood. Is always obedient. 
And the self-starting feature adds the final touch of 
perfection. Just throw a little lever and you’re off. 
Your daughter can start, operate and drive an Overland 
as well and as easily as you can. It will always start in 
bitter cold and freezing weather as quickly as in the 
summer—by just switching the little lever on the dash. 
So we ask you to judge the exceptional value of this 
car by the exceptional efficiency of its motor. 
This big, powerful, comfortable touring car costs 
you 30% less than any other similar car made.
