An engine that lures power from gas and sets it down minus jerks, vibrations, into a softness of action that has never been "surpassed; "Hot-Spot" and "Ram's-Horn" Manifold (Chalmers devices) are responsible The perfect engine is the one that takes from gas all the power that's there; and gives it up to you either brutal, or violent, or soft, as you wish. < That's the Chalmers engine, now recorded all over America as a great engine, which comes closer to reaching 100% of efficiency than any motive device yet designed. "Hot-Spot" and "Ram's-Horn" Manifold are responsible. The first named heats up the gas, "cracks it up," "pulverizes" it, gets it into wonderful shape for ignition, and then the "Ram's-Horn" Manifold with its "easy air bends" tosses it gently into the combustion chambers. So that after the flash of the spark plug there is so little residue, so little waste, so little power escaped into the exhaust as to be scarcely worth while mentioning. But the kind of power is a new power—a gentle, soft power like the "iron hand in the velvet glove" that entices you beyond words once you experience the thrill.
