This line includes engines of almost every type and size adapted to farm, shop, and mill use, and every engine is characterized by simple and durable construction. Every feature of I H C gasoline engines is the result of years of thorough and conscientious investigation of every phase of engine construction. No effort has been spared to make these engines simple, reliable, and capable of utilizing fuel to the greatest possible advantage. STRENGTH — To be a profitable investment a gasoline engine must be so constructed that it will last for many years. The use of high-grade material alone is not sufficient to insure this. The different parts of the engine must be con- structed strong enough and heavy enough to withstand the strain under which they operate. The designers of I H C engines have made a careful study of this subject and the result is that I H C engines are properly proportioned throughout — not too heavy — not clumsy — but neat, attractive, and equal to any emergency. SIMPLICITY — Everyone appreciates the fact that simplicity of design in any machine is highly desirable, but few realize how difficult it is to attain. The absence of all unnecessary or comphcated parts on I H C engines makes them very easy to operate, start, or stop. It also eliminates, to a great extent, the possibility of the engine getting out of order, and makes repairing, when necessary, a simple matter. The simphcity of I H C engines contributes largely towards their popularity as it makes it possible for even an ine.xpericnced person to operate them. EC0A'03IY — Every effort has been made in designing and constructing I H C engines to insure a proper utilization of fuel. The pistons are accurately fitted and are provided with lap joint piston rings which prevent any loss of compression, as a loss of compression would mean a loss of power. The explosive charge which is used to drive the piston in a gasohne engine is a mixture of vaporized gasoline and air. The proportions in which these are mixed determines to a considerable degree the economy and effectiveness of the engine. The mixers used on I H C engines have received careful attention and are so constructed that liquid fuel is not forced into the cylinder and wasted, but a properly proportioned atomized mixture is fed into the cylinder at the right time to insure maximum power from the resulting explosion. RELIABILITY — The material used in the construction of I H C engines is the best procurable and they are built by workmen who thoroughly understand engine construction. A very extensive system of testing and inspection is used in the factory where I H C engines are constructed. From the time the raw material is received until it reaches the ^^^-^^tSX^-^i (S^^f^^^ final inspecting room, it receives many rigid chemical and physical tests. Through all the course of manufacture the various parts of the engines are examined by the most exacting inspectors. When the completed engines reach the final inspec- tion room they are subjected to a severe running test under the supervision of the master inspector. Here the engines are run under conditions that would be sure to bring out the slightest defect and cause their rejection. The result is that it is well nigh impossible for an I H C engine that is not absolutely up to standard to reach the salesroom or purchaser. ADAPTABILITY — Not only have I H C gasoline engines been constructed with a general aim towards effi- ciency and reliability, but different engines in the line have been developed for special purposes. There are engines built for general, farm, and shop use, and also engines designed to fill the requirements of those wishing power especially adapted to their particular needs. In the I H C line will be found engines of from 1 to 4.5-horse power and in a great variety of styles, REPAIRS — One of the great advantages of I H C engines lies in the fact that all parts are perfectly interchange- able. Accidental breakage never throws an I H C engine out of commission for any length of time as repairs can always and easily be secured. The following pages are devoted to a detailed description and explanation of the various engines in this line. OPERATION OF FOUR-CYCLE ENGINES The operation of the large majority of internal combustion engines is based upon the same principle, termed "four-cycle." The theorj^ was first formulated by M. Beau de Rochas in 1862 and requires four strokes of the piston, as follows: The first outward stroke draws through the intake valve a charge of the fuel automatically mixed with air in the right proportion. At the end of the stroke the valve closes and the return of the piston compresses the charge. Just before the dead center the electric ignitor is snapped, which produces a spark in the cylinder, exploding the gas. The second outward movement of the piston is the power stroke, at the end of which the exhaust valve is opened. On the return of the piston the burnt gases are expelled and the cycle of operations is completed. It will be noted that one explosion is obtained for every two revolutions of the fly wheels. I H C engines are of this four-cycle type. But there are many two-cycle engines also. The two-cycle engine requires onl}' two strokes or one revolution of its fly wheel for each impulse. The incoming charge necessarily mixes somewhat with the burned gases not yet thoroughly driven out, and for this reason the two-cycle engine is neither as economical nor as reli- able as the four-cycle engine. However, the two-cycle is used extensively and to good advantage under many different con- ditions, particularly in marine engine construction. ^^^^cc^fSxy-Z^^A I H C VICTOR HORIZONTAL GASOLINE ENGINES 4, 6. 8. 10. 12. 15. 20. AND 25-IIORSE POWER Working Side of I H C Victor Horizontal Eneine Complete specifications of tliis engine will be found on page 11. Accessories for this engine are described on pages 43 to 47, inclusive List of pulleys furnished on special order will be found on page 10 ^^G>C^L^^^ PISTON AND WRIST PIN— The piston is of the triinlc ty]ie and extra long to insure ample wearing surface on the cyhndcr. It is as long as the stroke and the wrist pin is at the center instead of at the end so that the piston can not wear to a taper. The wrist pin has an unusually long and large wearing surface. A sup- plemental wrist pin oiler keeps the pin thor- |;, oughly oiled so that it is never necessary ' to run with a dry pin. This greatly reduces wear. The wrist pin is held securely in place by two set-screws with lock nuts. Lap joint piston rings, ground to an exact diameter, prevent loss of compression past the piston. CRANK SHAFT AND MAIN BEARINGS— The smaller size crank shafts are drop-forged. The larger sizes are _ "''" ^'"^ "' Horizontal Engine forged from solid, open hearth steel billets, without welds of any kind. They are interchangeable. The proportions are liberal and adeciuate to the strain under which these parts work. Large diameter of the crank pin gives amjjle wearing surface. The crank shaft bearings are phosphor bronze — the best known anti-friction metal. This metal is very close-grained and docs not cut or wear the parts working in it. The I H C bearings are extra heavy and long, machine finished, and hand-scraped to a perfect fit. They are thor- oughly lubricated by oil cups of large diameter. Cranii Sliaft CONNECTING ROD— The steel connecting rod is drop-forged, carefully machined and polished. Adivided box securely bolted to the connecting rod is used in the crank end. Whenever necessary, this box can be removed without remov- ing piston or wrist pin. The wrist pin bearing has a phosphor bronze bushing which can be adjusted by the bolts in the head. Connecting Bod ,_^^«-tS-0-/Sj <^'^^ INLET VALVE— The inlet valve is steel, of the poppet type. It is large to permit a ready ingress of the fuel. INLET VALVE CHECK— The inlet valve check is one of the most economical features of I HC engines, because this check keeps the intake valve automatically closed in cases where a speed above normal is attained. In such cases the exhaust valve is held open for the time, but no fuel is admitted to the cylinder and wasted. Let- ters patent have been granted to the International Har- vester Company on this remarkably effective arrangement. EXHAUST VALVE— The exhaust valve is of the most durable construction, having a steel stem and cast iron head. The seat is removable — a desirable feature, for, if the seat should become pitted by the hot gases, an entirely new cylinder head would not be required. VALVE MECHANISM— The valve mechanism operates in a straight line. There are no delicate connec- tions to get out of adjustment or cause friction. All parts of the mechanism are made of a high-grade steel with large wearing surfaces wherever necessary. GOVERNOR— The hit-and-miss style of gov- ernor is used on the I H C engine. This method is sensitive in regulation and reduces fuel consumption to a minimum. It so operates that when the speed is above normal the inlet valve is held closed to prevent fuel entering the cylinder, and the exhaust valve is held open to insure cleaning of the cylinder. The method of operation is as follows: When above speed, the arm from the governor balls pulls the sleeve "C" outward, as shown in the illustration. The beveled portion presses upward on the roller "D," causing the detent arm "E" to move downward. When the long side of the exhaust cam presses the roller at the end of rod "H" outward, the detent arm "E" engages a notch at "F," holding the exhaust valve open until the speed is reduced to normal. The sleeve "C" moving back allows the detent lever to disengage "F" and the cycle of operation is again taken up. The spur pinion "B" on the crank shaft engages with "A," a spur gear of twice its diameter, thus reducing the speed of the exhaust cam, so that the exhaust valve is open every other revolution. Likewise, the ignitor is snapped by the rod "G" through the movement of the eccentric on the half speed shaft. Detail View of I H C Horizontal Engine witli Fly Wheel Removed to Show Gears, Governor, and Valve Mechanism ^- Z^CC^'^>0 /2i STARTING — The I H C engine is easy to start because a small auxiliary cam on the exhaust cam can be thrown in to engage the roller and relieve compression. When the roller is thrown back into place the engine works under full compression. Sectional View of Mi.xer MIXER — The fuel as it enters the cylinder is thoroughly 'atomized or broken up. The method of operation is as follows: A rush of air through the large air pipe, induced by the suction stroke of the piston, draws a small quantity of gasoline from the nozzle, which is immediately vaporized. The size of the ojjening of the gasoline nozzle inside the air pipe is controlled by a needle valve. This nozzle is connected with a supply cup to the left. The exact openings of the nozzle necessary to start and operate the engine are marked on the dial of the needle valve, so that the proper mixture is insured. The overflow from the supply cup is cari'ied back to the fuel tank, so that any danger from overflowing of gasoline is eliminated. IGA^ITOR — The body of the ignitor is made from cast iron, the electrodes from steel, and the ignition points from a special material that will withstand the heat of the spark, as well as the effects of corrosion and oxidation. The stationary electrode is insulated, and one wire from the battery is fastened to it. The return circuit is made through the movable electrode and the cylinder when the ])oints are in contact. The forward movement of the ignitor rod on the side of the engine causes the movable electrode to come in contact with the one which is stationary. This contact is maintained for a very short time, when the rod allows the movable electrode to spring back quickly, Makc-aiui-iJriMk Ignitor breaking the circuit and producing a spark within the cylinder. As will be seen from the illustration, the parts within the cylinder are large, so that they cannot become incandescent and pre-ignite the charge. The ignitor is directly in the path of entering charges of explosive vapor, which aids in keeping the ignitor points clean and cool. As the inlet valve opens, the mixture of gasoline and air passes the ignitor points with considerable velocity when entering the cylinder, cleaning or brushing off any soot that may have been deposited upon them. The ignitor plug may be easily removed from the cylinder when it is necessary to clean the ignitor points. lenitor, sh^T^ng ignition ,^^^(x.^sx>-/i.n^\ .<£>.^r^^ ENGINE BASE — This base consists of two parts, the main frame and sub-base, which are firmly bolted together. It is neat in design and appearance, yet possesses ample strength and rigidity to hold all mechanism in perfect alignment. FL.Y 'WHEELS — The fly wheels are very securely attached to the crank shaft, yet they may be easily removed in case of necessity. The hubs are split, and in addition to being keyed to the crank shaft, are clamped by means of bolts running through the hub. GASOLINE PUMP — I H C gasoline engines are fitted with a plunger type gasoline pump. A very novel and effective valve arrangement is used. The upward movement of the plunger draws gasoline through the ball valve to the right, while the other one remains seated and thus prevents suction from that direction. A downward movement of the plunger forces the gasoline out to the left and up to the Sectional View of Gasoline Pump Showing Plunger and Ball Valves mixer cup. The es- cape of gasoline past the ]5lunger is pre- vented by a packing gland of accepted construction. All parts of the pump are brass with the exception of the plunger and balls, which are steel. TANK-COOLED—The wire gauze cool- ing tank is small, so that a few pails of water are sufficient to keep the engine cylinder from over- heating. The plunger pump, which is part of the equipment, keeps the water circulating through the jacket. The pump is provided with drain cocks and a handle for lifting the valves off the seats. Opening these as soon as the engine is shut down drains the pump. The galvanized gauze or screen may be easily removed and can be renewed at slight expense.

This device consists of a small segment and lever, and a rod operating the new detent arm upon an eccentric bushing. By ro- tating this eccentric bushing, the travel of the governor is varied sufficiently to give the desired change in the speed of the engine. This attachment gives a variation in speed as follows: H. P. Normal Speed Maximum Speed R. P. M. E. P.

PISTON — A long trunk type piston is used, which affords ample wearing surface. Three accurately fitted, lap joint piston rings prevent escape of compression past the piston. The wrist pin is large, provitling a liberal wearing surface on the connecting rod. It is in the center of the piston, conseciucntly there is no tendency to w'ear to a taper. A phosphor bronze bushing protects the connecting rod from wear. This bushing is secured by a set -screw and can easily be replaced in case it becomes worn. EXHAU5T VALVE.

The bevel portion of this sleeve moves the detent lever, which, in turn, engages the cam lever, holding the exhaust valve open until speed drops to normal. VALVE GEAR— The valve gear is a very simple and effective arrangement. It operates in a straight line and without rccjuiring any fine adjustments. The valve rod, because of the construction of the cam upon which the cam roller turns, serves the double purpose of snapping the igni- tor and opening the exhaust valve. VALVES— Intake and exhaust valves are both large enough to allow a ready ingress and egress of the gases. Sectional View of a Victor Vertical Engine, Showing Working Parts 13 Sectional View of 3Iixer wrist pin, crank pm, MIXEK — A very simple and effective mixer, a sectional view of which is shown on this page, is used on all vertical engines. The flow of gasoline is induced from the nozzle by a rush of air through the pipe, the quantity being regulated by the needle valve. Coming in contact with the air, the gasoline is thoroughly vaporized and enters the cyhnder in a properly proportioned mixture. Any excess of gasoline pumped into the mixer is returned to the supply tank by a large overflow pipe at the bottom of ihe mixer. GASOLINE PUMP — The plunger type gasoline pump is continuous in its action. LiDBRICATION — A splash oiling system keeps all main working parts on the I H C engine well oiled. A sight feed oiler on the side of the cylinder supplies oil to the piston as it passes the opening. The oil in the chamber below the crank shaft is held so that at each revolution of the crank the oil is splashed throughout the interior by the oil splasher which dips into the oil. In this manner the piston, nd main bearings are kept properly lubricated. Excess oil in the bottom of this chamber may be drawn off when necessary through the oil gauge at the bottom. This splash lubrication proves very desirable, especially should the operator neglect to turn on the sight feed oiler when starting the engine. In this case there is oil enough ill the chamber to insure thorough oiling of all parts. FLY WHEELS— The fly wheels have split hubs and are keyed to the crank shaft.

They meet the demand of farmers and contractors who desire reliable power which can be easily transferred from place to place. They furnish the most efficient and economical power for operating threshers, buskers and shredders, shellers, silage cutters, pumps, saws, and other farm machines. Contractors find them excellent outfits for well drilling, stone crushing, pumping water out of sewers and low lands, for operating temporary electric light plants, and other work requiring an engine which can be readily moved from one place to another as desired. TRUCKS — These engines are mounted on substantial trucks which are light, but at the same time strong and rigid enough to stand up under the jarring and jolting resulting from being hauled over rough roads. The frame upon which the engine rests will support it under all conditions. The axles are solid bars of steel turned to size at the ends to form bearings for the wheels. The wheels are steel with the exception of the hubs which are high-grade castings.

AND 8IIORSE POWER I H C Mctor hopper-cooled engines are in many essentials similar to the I H C Victor horizontal tank-cooled engines. However, a change in the cooling arrangement greatly simplifies them. COOJLING — Instead of being equipped with a cooling tower, circulating pump, and pipe, the water jacket of the cylinder is extended upwards to form an open jacket or hopper. This hopper holds enough water to keep the engine thoroughly cooled for several hovu's. As the water evaporates very slowly, it is an easy matter to keep the hopper filled. This cooling arrangement docs away with the danger of the cylinder being cracked by freezing, as the hopper opening allows the water to expand. However, if the engine is left exposed to freezing weather for a considerable length of time, it is advisable to drain the hopper.

TOM THUMB FAMOUS AIR-COOIiED GASOLINE ENGINE l-HORSE POWER This air-cooled engine is an excellent power for operating any farm or shop machines to which a 1-horse power engine is adaptable. MOUNTING— The engine, gasoline tank, and battery box are mounted on a solid wooden sub-base, which makes it very convenient for moving from place to place. On special order, at a slight additional cost, it can be mounted on a small truck which includes wheels and a handle for drawing the outfit. ENGINE— This engine is provided with a hit- and-miss type of governor, very sensitive in its action. No gasohne pump is used on this engine; but, instead,_ a simple mixer placed over the gasoline tank. A partial vacuum is produced in the pipe by the suction stroke of the piston and a flow of gasoline is induced into the mixer. This gasoline, the quantity of which is regulated by the needle valve, reaches the cylinder in a properly propor- tioned mixture. The valve mechanism is very simple. Both valves may be removed by unscrewing one bolt in the cylinder head. IGNITION— Jump spark ignition is used, for which five dry cell batteries and a spark plug are regularly fur- nished. The spark is very convenient and accessible, being placed on the top of the cylmder. PULLEYS— A plain pulley, 6 inches in diameter, with a 2M-inch face, is regularly furnished. A complete pulley arrangement for driving the cream" separator, consisting of a reducing gear and a 4-inch pulley capable of transmitting i^-horse power, is regularly furnished. SPECIAL ACCESSORIES— A special 6-inch pulley with a 5-inch face can be used for operating the standing and walking beam pumping jacks, and can be supplied on special order. A 4-inch pulley may also be had on special order.

The horse, the ox, and the plow, has each seen its day, and the man behind the plow is entering a new era of progress. I H C gasoline tractors have proved to be the most economical and satisfactory for plowing, hauling loads, and also for delivering power from the belt to operate threshers, shellers, shredders, and many other large machines. The reasons for this superiority are not hard to find. The engine — the power plant — is the well known I H C engine of which thousands are in use through- the power transmission, though simpler, is similar to the method out the country. The truck is very substantial, used on successful steam tractors. This correct design will explain why in every contest I H C tractors come out winners. At the Winnipeg farm motor contest in July, 1910, I H C tractors delivered approximately 75 per cent of the engine's rated horse power at the draw bar— at the point where it takes the place of horses. This per cent of the engine's power delivered at the draw bar was larger than that delivered by any other gasoline tractor. Again in the plowing contest, I H C tractors plowed an acre of ground on less fuel than was required l)y any other gasoline tractor entered. These two points, maximum power at the draw bar, and minimum fuel consumption, are the two vitally important facts which determine the efficiency and desirability of the tractor. I H C tractors are made in 12, 15, 20, 25, and 45-horse power sizes, and in several styles. Catalogues describing the different styles can be had upon application to the local agent, general agent, or the general offices in Chicago. 31 ^^^^X?l^xS>0-^A .^)kl^^^^^£^Z-^ — * FAMOUS PUMPING ENGINE 2-IIORSE POWER This is a desirable pumping outfit because, besides pumping, it may be used for otlier purposes to which an engine of this horse power is adapted. By detaching tlie walking beam from the pump, and belting from the pulley on the fly wheel to the machine, the engine is ready to operate many of the small machines on the farm. It may be easily transported from place to place inasmuch as the entire outfit is mounted on skids. Tliis outfit is a direct connected or walking beam outfit, designed especially for wells or reservoirs.

With this attachment arti- ficial gas may be used as fuel with excellent results. The illustrations herewith show the gas attachment on both the vertical and horizontal engines. When artificial gas is it is necessary to change the entire cylinder and piston, for the reason that artificial gas has a less number of heat units than either natural gas or gasoline vapor. This makes greater compression neces- sary to secure the same efficiency which, in turn, re- quires a new cylin- der and piston. Therefore, when artificial gas is to be used it should be so stated when or- dering the engine, so that an engine especially adapted for this fuel can be shipped. Gas Attachment on I H C Victor Horizontal Engine COMBINATION GAS AND GASOLINE ATTACHMENT A combination gas and gaso- line attachment is also furnished on special order for I H C Victor and Famous engines. This attachment has been designed especially for use in localities where natural gas is available part of the time. It is so designed that natural gas alone may be used as a fuel until pressure is so low that artificial vapor must be supplied, which may be accom- plished by slightly opening the needle valve and allowing gasoline vapor to enter with the natural gas in order to produce an explosive mixture in the cylinder rich enough to explode; or the gas may be cut off entirely and the engine run on gasoline. No change of piston can be made with this attachment, with artificial gas there is a slight de- crease in the power of the engine, ac- cording to the quality of the gas. The change from one fuel to the other may be made in- stantly and without Stoppingthe engine. combination Gas and Gasoline Attachment on I H C Victor Horizontal Engine Combination Gas and Gaso- line Attachment for I H C Victor Vertical Engine when 42 .<^^./^^^£^^-^^-t5^--> ALCOHOL ATTACHMENTS FOR I H C ENGINES Alcohol attachments may be furnished for both vertical and horizontal I H C engines. This attachment consists of a new cylinder head com- plete, an alcohol mixer, and a strainer. This new cylinder head must be furnished complete in order to provide greater compression in the cylinder, for it is possible to obtain the rated horse power of the engine economically when using alcohol, only by increasing the compression. This alcohol attachment is furnished as an extra only on special order. EXTENDED CRANK SHAFTS In making direct connections with dynamos and various machines, extended crank shafts are sometimes necessary. Below will be found a list of the extended crank shafts which can be fur- nished for I H C engines. These crank shafts are listed as special features and should be ordered separately. They can be put on the engines before leaving the works, or they may be added to the engines in the field. In the table below the length of extension listed can be furnished on the pulley side of the shaft, on the governor side of the shaft, or on both sides of the shaft. When ordering it should be specified on which side the extension is desired. Alcohol Mi.\er Altaclied to tlip Cylinder of tlic Horizontal Kn<^ino Alcoliol ]^Iixer for Vertical Engines Engine 1-H.

This should be mixed in the proportion of one part of gasoline to four or five parts of kerosene. Some have found that by using kerosene it is possible to reduce the cost of operating 20 to 33J per cent. With an engine of large horse power, under continuous operation, this reduction in fuel bills will mean a considerable saving in the course of a year. SUPPLY TANKS— To use a kerosene mixture properly, it is necessary to have two tanks — one for gasoline alone, and another for the mixture of gasohne and kerosene, in proportions of 1 to 4 or 5. These tanks are both con- nected to the engine pump, as shown in the illus- tration, and are shut off by means of a three- way cock. Two overflow pipes from the feed cup, also operated by a three-way cock, carry the over- flow of kerosene mixture and of gasoline back to the supply tanks. No change in the engine itself is necessary. - //V KEROSENE Tflm '' TO OVERFL W PIPE ^ IN GASOLINE TANK Plan of Piping for Kerosene Mixture TO SUPPLY PIPE ^dP T IN GASOLINE TANK ^ / TO SUPPLY PIPE y IN KEROSENE TANK STARTING THE ENGINE— To start the engine, throw the three-way cock so that the supply of gasoline is turned on, and the supply of kerosene mixture shut off. This will permit a supply of gasoline to be pumped into the feed cup. Start the engine on the gasoline as ordinarily, and let it run for about one-half hour, so that the engine is well warmed up, then shut off the gasoline and turn on the kerosene mixture. STOPPING THE ENGINE — At the end of the run, shut off the kerosene mixture, turn on the gasoline, and allow the engine to run for five or ten minutes before closing down. In this way all the kerosene mixture is cleaned out of the feed cup and pipes, so that when the engine is finally stopped it contains nothing but gasoline. The engine is thus made ready to start up the next time without delay. 44 c *^J^1^^^ t.l'L^e^tS^ ♦ KEROSENE ATTACHMENT FOR I H C HORIZONTAL ENGINES This kerosene attachment is designed for use on the 6-horse power I H C Victor or Famous horizontal engine. The illustration shows the engine equipped for using kerosene instead of gasoline as fuel. The engine is hke the regular Victor, 6-horse power, gasoline engine, except that it has, instead of the regular gasohne mixer, an attachment for using kerosene as fuel. The attachment consists of a mixer, and a heater which lies under the cylinder head, into which, by means of a valve, any proportion of the hot exhaust gases may be turned. By means of a similar valve on the mixer side, any amount of fresh air may be drawn through the heater, thus regulating the temperature of the incoming charge. A small amount of exhaust gas is admitted to the mixer adjacent to the needle valve and becomes a part of the explosive mixture. The purpose of readmit- ting this exhaust is to overcome premature explo- sions. It is also an aid in running the engine under no load, as it assists in vaporizing the kerosene. Two fuel tanks and the necessary piping are used. The engine is started in the usual manner, using gasoline as a fuel, and as soon as the engine has warmed up sufficiently the fuel is changed from gasoline to kerosene by throwing the lever of a three- way cock. The length of time that the engine should run on gasoline depends on the temperature of the surrounding air. In an ordinary room from 3 to 5 minutes are required. It is unnecessary to use the heater unless the tem]3crature is freezing or when working under light loads. The fuel consumption is the same as gaso- line consumption, and depends upon the setting of the fuel valve. The engine will run under no load, using kerosene, but if it is required to run this way for more than an hour or so at a time it would be cheaper to use gasoline, which can bodone by a simple turn of the three-way cock. This kerosene attachment may be attached to the regular I H C \'ictor or Famous, 6-horse power, horizontal engine.

This magneto is comparatively cheap, and may be easily placed on the engine. It is driven by friction contact with tlie fly wheel of the engine. Through its use, it is possible to start the engine without the aid of batteries inasmuch as the current is furnished by means of per- manent magnets. The Motsingcr Auto Sparker The i\Iotsinger auto sparker is an auto- matically governed dynamo. It differs from a magneto in that it does not depend on permanent magnets, but is built on the plan of large lighting dynamos, and its magnets are kept constantly magnetized by the current from the machine itself. The auto sparker can be attached to any engine, but those using a jump- spark plug must use a special coil designed by the Motsinger Company. By using the auto sparker the engine is started on batteries, after which the cur- rent is turned off and the spark supplied by the auto sparker. This auto sparker is furnished regularly on all portable and traction engines. It can be supplied on special order for other engines. ^^^^^CC-(SX>-/2^< (^v^^ SECURITY LONG DISTANCE GASOLINE SUPPLY This gasoline sujaplj' sj'stcm provides a very satisfactory arrange- ment for storing and pumping gasoline.
