Mr. Holmes was formerly Vice-President and for seven years Chief Engineer of the Franklin Automobile.Company. In the Holmes Company he has associated with him some of the most substantial industrial men of the Middle West. The Holmes car is the last word in a perfected air-cooling system. Seven passenger; full elliptic springs; demountable rims; higher mileage from gasoline and tires; unit power plant; smart design and superior body work. ADVANCED ENGINEERING PRINCIPLES EMBODIED IN THE HOLMES CAR DOME-HEAD CYLINDER. Gives larger valves, particularly the exhaust valves—more power,a MAGNETO-AUTOMATIC ADVANCE AND RETARD. Not dependent upon battery for cooler cylinder, with a minimum combustion chamber area. ignition, and greater efficiency, particularly in starting and at low speeds, DETACHABLE CYLINDER HEADS, Permit quick access to valves and piston heads, a valuable !NTAKE MANIFOLD. Is of new and improved design and is 80 shaped and constructed that the Fae aid to taking care of the car with the poor grades of gasoline now in the market, This patented mixture of gasoline and air is distributed in the same quality to all cylinders. The combustion in all a Holmes Construction leaves the valve springs exposed to the drafts of cooling air, longer life of all the chambers is uniform, giving even distribution of power to all cylinders at any speed—insures « : parts, and a minimum wear. great speed range without gear shifting, and quick pick-up of engine, q VALVE PUSH RODS AND VALVE ROCKER CONSTRUCTION.
