The! | Ford engine will be in the middle of | the car, under the floor. It ts equipped with a self-starter, with it, It spells economy @oubles the life of the suit jand during the day !t will store up lenough electricity to light the car at | night. It will also heat the car, | ‘The engine in the city car fs 80 |horsepower, An engine for interur- [bans 1s 160 horsepower, FOUR ENGINES | ARE COMPLETED | Four of these engines have been completed at'the Ford farm tractor! plant at Dearborn, Mich, and the} job of installing one of them in a car is now under way. Within a week or so Ford will give | his first public test. He has arranged with the Mich- igan Central railroad to run his car from Detroit to Chicago over the railroad’s tracks, and at one point he | plans a race with one of the Michi- | wan Central's fastest trains, which i» | capable of making 70 miles an hour’ Everybody around the Ford plant is keenly enthusiastic over the new car, and most of the engineers who have worked with Ford himself on lit are inclined to do a good deal of |bragging about what it will do, All except Ford himself. | Here's what Ford sald to me about it: | “This ts not the time to blow any [horns about this new gasoli@e-pro- pelled street car. We're rigging it! up now, and getting ready for a | public test. ‘That test ts only a short time off, and it will tell the story. | “If the car ts a success, It won't | need any press-agenting. If {t's not }a success, it won't want any. | “I've had enough confidence tn my n gasoline-propelled street car to spend @ hundred thousand dollars on tests G. O. P.

With four of his brightest en- gineers to help, these five men tink- ered and experimented for several months. Then they ordered a car from the Kublman Car Co., of Cleve- Hand. WHAT GASOLINE CAR | WOULD MEAN | The engineers, together with some statisticians that have been working jon the problem, are very optimistic. | “Our investigations and tests,” | said one of the engineers, “show that a clty of Detroit's size, by starting in |with the Ford gasoline street car, | would save $4,000,000 on power house |equipmert and distribution lines. “Then, in a city of Detrott’s size, a gasoline-operated system would save | from $900,000 to $1,250,000 a year In | operating expenses, | “A gasoline car in Detrott can be loperated at approximately three- | fourths the cost of an electric car, | “One of the Ford gasoline street | cars will be able to cover six miles of | ground on one gallon of gasoline. “Then it 1s reliable, Storms can't | put the entire system out of business, |‘There would be no overhead wires to break and tie up dozens of cars on the same line. “Each gasoline car would be a | power unit In ftself, Independent of all other street cars. “The gasoline street ear can be built several thousand dollars cheap- | ited Painl nl e ain ess jer than the electric street car, and D ti t lit will welgh only about half as | ent sts | much. . “It wi have all the afvantager of | | the electric car, besides being cheap- er to build and to operate.” Street railway engineers thruout the entire country will be watching) the public test of the Ford gasoline} car. They’ré all agreed that if it ts @ success, the street car business may be revolutionized. | All work guaranteed 15 years. 608 Third Ave. Cor.
