In speaking of the demonstration which he made the other day Claflin said : "Power alone is not sufficient for efficient motor truck construction. Service Ser-vice motor trucks are designed for heavy tonnage duty. So continuous power is necessary. Mark that point. It 's important. "The liuda motor in each model has been designed not. alone for its ability to do the work for which it is rated but to do more than its rated capacity. To do it witli maximum gasoline efficiency. effi-ciency. This reserve power may uever mendous power of the Service truck m hill to the Capitol building without ch appeared at the Capitol building steps a be needed. But it moans added life. The engine is never being strained never being called on to carry a greater burden than it can stand never, in fact, working at its full capacity. "Service motors are of the famous four-cylinder L head type cast on bloc, valves on right. They arc designed for economy. But economy is not all. Simplicity and accessibility are also needed. The upper half of the crank case supports the motor and carries all bearings. The lower half carries the oil pump and oil supply. It is easily removed to give access to bearings. Pistons are removable through the crank case. "Added to accessibility and contributing contrib-uting to durability and economy is the perfect balance of Service motors. The connecting rods in the same motor must balance at the same point. All four must be of the same weight. The crank shaft is balanced on a Norton running balancing machine. The fly wheel is tested not alone for running lotor by hauling S000 pounds of coal on .anging from second gear. The picture fter the demonstration. balance, but also for static balance. "The result of this perfect balance is smooth, quiet running. It prevents vibration ami unnecessary wear. Jt adds power. Also durability. And it facilitates a quick, easy 'get away ' without strain on the truck. " Kvery time I make a demonstration with one of these trucks, be it a one-ton one-ton model or one of the heavy duty jobs, J am more thoroughly convinced that the Service truck will out-pull, out-wear, and out-eoonomize any truck on the market and the interest that the merchants and manufacturers of Utah are already showing in the Hue indicates indi-cates that even though the factory has assured me of a generous supply I am going to find difficulty in toping up with the demand. "Fortunately I have several one and a half models on hand. A three-carload i shipment containing two and three and a half ton models is now on the way from the factory and due to arrive here most any day." 1 |
