The New Series Franklin Car Here is the sclution for motorists of America of a difficult mechanical prob-~ lem that is engaging the attention of some of the world’s greatest engineers today. The method by which the Franklin Company has eliminated in the Series 9 Franklin 400 pounds from an already scientific-light-weight car is an achievement that is five years in advance of current engineering practice. OW that every informed motorist ERE in the New Series Franklin is You will be interested in seeing how realizes how superfluous dead weight adds to expense, lessens safety and takes away from comfort, you are going to hear more about light-weight cars. For 15 years, the principles of sciens tific-light-weight have been studied, des veloped and built into Franklin cars. The achievement in weight elimina- tion, marked by the New Series Frank- lin, is based on the knowledge of how to cut down the forces which wear out a car— not mere weight cuatting. e Making the Franklin car resilient in- stead of rigid, is the reason for the Franklin always being the lightest car in its class—the cheapest to own and oper- ate, the easiest, safest and most comfort- able to run. a given amount of metal has been redis- tributed and a stronger part produced, or a less amount of metal used and a part equally strong produced. The diminished weight—and particus larly the diminished unsprung weight— means another increase in fire economy. Think of relieving the tires from direct pounding of unnecessary weight by mak- ing the front axle 30 per cent. lighter and the rear axle 25 per cent. lighter ! Then the reduction of friction! Ball bearings, the closest approach to friction- less mechanism, are used everywhere. With all this weight saving and elim- ination of “‘drag’” comes greater ability at less expense, more comfort, greater safety—a saving of frouble and dollars. a full-size five-passenger car weigh- ing only 2280 pounds. How has it been done? Note the aluminum in body, mudguards, engine base, oil pan, transmission case and always a stream of more or less hizh- powered and luxurious tourist mobiles passing through on their w to Brittany its well known sea- side summer to Normandy and to Tour with their hi castles, or still further afield, right through the middle of France, down to Biarritz and the Riveria.

Ths New Serics Franklin Car will deliver its owner 17 per ceat. more tire economy and 20 per cent. more gasoline economy than the Fraoklin cars which established these world’s records. The Franklin car is acknowledged to be the easiest riding car in the world. The New Series Franklin Car is a smoother rolling, easier riding, easicr controlled car than any of its predecessors, HE New Series Franklin incorpor- ates all the established principles of Franklin construction: Six-cylinder di- rect-air-cooled engine; full-cllipticsprings front and rear; wood chassis frame; flex- ible drive through the springs; large tires (cord type).
