AN ENGINE
YOU’LL NEVER FORGET
The great Chalmers engine, now featuring the cur
rent Chalmers car, arrived at a rare time in history.
With war on, and gasoline in use now as never
before, there has been one result evident probably to
most every man that drives a car —the rapid decline in
the grade of gasoline.
Engineers never expect to see a high-grade gas again.
• In the face of this condition now comes the great
Chalmers engine, which makes high power out of low
grade gas.
It makes “one drop of gas now do the work of two.”
It makes gasoline work as gasoline has never worked
in an automobile engine before.
By means of an ingenious device known as a “hot
spot,” the gas, after leaving the carburetor, is warmed
up (but not overheated) just before it enters the intake
manifold.
Then by means of another ingenious device known
as a “ram’s-horn” manifold, it is skillfully passed on to
the engine combustion chamber.
The secret here is in what are known as “easy air
• bends.”
The result is that at the time when the gas is
touched off by the spark plug it is “cracked up” into a
perfect vapor for 100% results.
This device in particular is one of the most notable
achievements in automobile engineering in many years.
Not only do these improvements on the engine
create more power out of less gas, but they also make
possible a quick starting engine on a cold day.
* When you step on the starter button in a current
Chalmers, you get results right off. And your engine
begins to run with midsummer smoothness—no miss
ing cylinders—no spitting—no hesitating—no backfire.
So noteworthy is this great Chalmers engine that
one is tempted to overlook other notable improve
ments and perfections in the current Chalmers.
They are numberless, and once evident to the eye
of a wise buyer, they win him.
To miss seeing the current Chalmers at our show
rooms is to miss tne most recent and most talked-of
car of the day.
