. • . ';*• < . ‘’.- % • ' • o t ; '■...*■■ * ' . . . « _ Every Part a Quality Part In the Chalmers Chalmers puts quality materials and quality workmanship into every piece of every Chalmers car. Therein lies the difference between the Chalmers and most other cars.

Connecting Rods — Strong , Light Connecting rods are designed to secure rigidity and lightness. They are made of special carbon steel. Are unusually strong and dependable. Each rod weighs only 41 ounces. Yet they will withstand greater stress and strain than some connecting rods weighing almost twice as much. Light Weight Pistons Chalmers pistons are of Lynite. A light and tough metal, about the weight of cast iron. Chalmers pistons reduce the strain on the bearings. They insure the marvelous Chalmers smoothness. They make possible the remarkable Chalmers power.

Here are three parts out of thousands in the chassis. They are hidden moving parts of the motor —the crankshaft, connecting rods and pistons. Chalmers makes them of extraordinary materials with extraordinary care and thoroughness. One-Piece Crankshaft The crankshaft is drop-forged from heat treated carbon steel ih a single piece. Balancing weights are integral with the shaft. The shaft is 2*4 inches in diameter. Sturdy, but not heavy. Rigid. Strong. It is balanced while ; rotating at a fast rate of speed, on a unique machine. This helps you to understand why the Chalmers motor is so smooth.

All of the above means quality. The kind of quality you need in the car you buy, and the kind of quality you GET in the Chalmers Touring Car, 7-passenger . $1350 Touring Sedan, 7-passenger .
