te HA MILLION SUNDAY, JUNE 7, 1925 PERFECTION IN CAR a MARVEL Chandler Performance Is Illustrative of En- gineering | Feat. | ie HIRAM W.

The engineer now has to build cars that will function reliably when constantly abused, instead of being pampered Automobile is a Marvel. The ordinary everyday perform- ance.of an automobile actually is a marvellous demonstration of modern engineering, a. striking example. of the correct co-ordination of nearly | all’ the known physical forces and principles of mechanics. Only recently a Chandler car covered 1,000 miles in minutes on the Culver City trac! though it was the fastest thousand niles ever traveled by man, except by air, the record was calmly ac cepted by the public as just one more step in automobile progress. The car averaged one mile every 41° seconds for 114% hours. That will impress anyone; but figure out the performance of some of the in- dividual units of the car, and you may get a better-idea of just what this record means. 2,610 R, P. M. for 1114 Hours. The total number of revolutions of the motor for 1,000 miles was) 1, $33,0000. Reducing this to revolu- tions per second, the engine turned over more than 44 times per second, | ,. over period of 11 hours and 29 minutes, With every two revolutions of the engine there was an. explosion of gas in each cylinder. To explode these charges each spark plug fired 916 times per mile—1,320 times a minute; that ts. times. a second, or a total of 916,500 sparks for each plug. FORDSONS USED Production “Record Is Reached on May 21 At Tractor Plant. The Ford Motor company reached the half million mark in the pro- duction of Fordson tractors late Thursday afternoon May 21st when Fordson No, 600,000 came off the as- sembly line at the” River Rouge plant. The half-millionth tractor was completed at. 4:23 o'clock, just a few minutes before the close of the day’s work. It ts planned to exhibit it at a number of state fairs during the coming summe#and fall. Manufacture of. Fordson tractors today presents a striking contrast between the methods employed eight years ago when production began at the old plant at Dearborn. At the start only three or four Fordsons were produced each day and it took weeks to machine some parts. To- day at the River Rouge plant, where all tractors are now manufactured and assembled, output is on a! chedule callin Fordson motor and the] blocks assembled in completed | tractors | Since-its introduction eight years ago the Wordson tractor has come into world-wide use and has brought 1 new efficiency into agriculture nd the business of farming {n near- ly every country on the globe. It Ld {mated that a large majority of ull tractors in use today are Ford- sons and the Fordson is said to be the only tractor ever placed on the market without a subsequent change in basic design. Not once through all the years that he was building up his great motor car business did Ford forget the tractor or the drudgery of the farm, On October 1, 1915, Ford sent} f several of his ofifcials and an- | nounced that he was ready to pro-| uce a tractor and plans were at ce wtarted for the building of a| plant at Dearborn. Experiments | were carried on with many models of tractors and they were given all sorts of tests both on Ford's own farm and at demonstrations held | throughout the country. Production began {n 1917, when, after many tests and changes, the present Ford ton design was perfected. The Fordsons almost immediately | became a factor In the war, for | England, lacking enough horses to plow ground necessary for food. turned to mechanical power and the first 8,000.

But this new model did. Everyone now knows why. It had the sensational power that the Cleve- land Six engineering principle develops—a principle proved by five world’s records in six weeks. It had smoothness, economy, and a flash- ing pickup. It had beauty, uncanny roadability, and the convenience of the famous “One-Shot” Lubrication System —step on the plunger and oil the whole car. And the four-door sedan offers all the lux- uries of a spacious, roomy, smartly appointed, four-door enclosed car at less than $1200. See this new model. Compare its comfort, performance, and fine environment to any closed car with only two or even four doors, selling at anywhere near the price. A revela- tion awaits you! Touring car, $895.
