THE steadily growing demand for Vanßriggle Airplane Principle Carburetors and Vanßriggle Shock Absorbers has made necessary the erection of anew concrete and steel four-story building into which we have just moved. This fine new factory is located at 1518-20-22-24 North Capitol Avenue and gives us long-needed facilities for increased production. Vanßriggle Carburetors and Shock Absorbers will be manufactured in these modern quarters on a much larger scale than ever before in the history of the company. The rapid and substantial growth of the Vanßriggle Motor Device Company has been noteworthy in recent industrial development in Indianapolis. From a modest beginning several years ago, it has grown into one of the city’s leading automotive industries. Vanßriggle Airplane Principle Carburetors and Vanßriggle Shock Absorbers are known and used throughout the United States. The national advertising we are doing is helping very materially in making Indianapolis known as one of the country’s important automotive centers.

Airplane Principle Carburetors Follow Natural Laws

THE Van Briggle Airplane Principle Carburetor is different from all other carburetors. It follows simple, natural laws in its functioning, and contains nothing mysterious or complex. There are no weights or by-passes, no auxiliary air valves, no no venturi tube, and only one adjustment. The Vanßriggle Airplane Principle Carburetor is SO SIMPLE and SO UNDERSTANDABLE that a Vanßriggle user KNOWS, when his motor fails or troubles him that his Vahßriggle Carburetor is not at fault. He looks ELSEWHERE for the trouble. A fuel supply, instantly and automatically corrected, to meet every changing need of your motor; quick starting, due to the puddle of ‘‘reserve pep,” which serves always as a primer; instant acceleration, brought about by the high float level; a vaporization closely approaching natural gas —these are outstanding features which have made Vanßriggle Airplane Principle Carburetors known for their resulting POWER, PERFORMANCE and ECONOMY. Examine the cross section AA. Consider carefully the simplicity and es-

ficiency which it reflects. Read the explanation of the Airplane Principle. You will see at once the reasons for Vanßriggle efficiency, economy and dependability. J‘ ~ V Airplane Principle Explained The incoming air (see above illustration) strikes directly upon the lip of the nozzle on the inlet side. It automatically controls the flow of gasoline—and Instantly corrects the proportion of a'r and gasoline, thus obtaining the most power, with economy, at all speeds and under all conditions. When the motor is not running the gasoline level in the bowl is always above the top of the nozzle. This permits the mixing chamber to fill i up to the same level—-forming a puddle of “reserve pep,’’ which acts as a primer in starting. When running, the high float level in the bowl gives instant accelera-tion—-a vital element of safety and satisfaction In traffic. r

The superiority of the Vanßriggle Airplane Principle was demonstrated in a test of a Vanßriggle Airplane Carburetor at the aviation repair depot, Motor Speedway, Indianapolis. In the test the Vanßriggle Carburetor ran 14 minutes longer on the same amount of gasoline than any other carburetor then in use for general airplane service. This would mean an additional flying radius of about 160 miles. In this same test the Vanßriggle Airplane Carburetor showed a perfect speed-arch from low to high, and more revolutions per minute. This same airplane principle is now available in Vanßriggle Caburetors for Ford, Maxwell and Dodge automobiles and trucks. Several additions to the Vanßriggle line are being prepared for standard equipment. For power, performance, dependability and economy, equip your car with a Vanßriggle Airplane Principle Carburetor.

t SHOCK ABSORBERS The time-proved principle in the Vanßriggle Shock Absorber for all Ford touring, roadster, coupe, sedan and light delivery cars remains without change. But, by a simplifying step the operation has been greatly improved. The shackling radius has been lengthened and thus has eased the action of the car spring. Other advantages have been added and VanBriggle Shock Absorbers give better satisfaction than ever. They save strain on motor and car-frame; reduce up-keep,-make riding more enjoyable. Add to length of service and increase re-sale value. Make driving easier. The pivoting of the Vanßriggle Shock Absorber is from the eyelet of the spring. The radius of the Shock Absorber remains the same at all times; there is no change in the axis of the Shock Absorber for the reason that the base is pivoted at the same point as the upper part of the Shock Absorber. When the bump comes the car spring straightens—and causes the top arm of the Shock Absorber to compress the Shock Absorber spring. This stops the downward jar, AND THE REVERSE ACTION SNUBS THE REBOUND. Installed without removing wheels or changing ANYTHING. Your dealer or garage man will gladly supply and install Vanßriggle Shock Absorbers on your Ford car or truck. See him today 1
