WHEN you have driven this new Chalmers you will appreciate its marvellous ease of action, its soothing absence of vibration, its great energy results directly

' traceable to the Hot Spot and Ram Vhorn.

Hot Spot is an ingenious device that occupies about six square inches. It receives from the carburetor gasoline still in a raw, heavy state and breaks it up into infinitesimal particles. Then the gasoline, now a "cloud" of dry gas, is rushed into the cylinders via RamVhorn (which has no sharp corners to impede the progress). Thus the cylinders get the kind of "food" they should have, and you get a snap, a "kick" from "gas" that you haven t seen in many a day. Some things you don t get, too, and they arc burned bearJ 1 ' 1 i . ...-l.r IVn.1 -! f r- 1.
