By such tests you can always tell how good an engine is. In the great Chalmers engine so very little in the way of un- sed or unburned gas comes out of the exhaust as to be almost negligible. The gas is used up all of it —in the Chalmers. The moment it passes from the throat of the carburetor it strikes the now noted "Hot-Spot" where it is lieated and "cracked-up" and then rushed on to the combustion cham bers via the "Ram's-Horn" Manifold. When the spark touches it off there is translated a power such as a gas engine has never known; all the brute force imaginable, yet tamed down into a softness that is as smooth as deep water. Once you play with it with your right foot you will be amazed at the thrill it'll give you.
