The lack of vibration of the motor isattributed to the perfect balance of therevolving parts, the manner of revolvingthe cylinders in a horizontal plane, andto the novel method of controlling the inder by an arrangement of system of control is claimed to bevery economical, conducive to smoothrunning, to obviate the necessity ofheavy exhaust valve springs, to runmuch cooler, and to keep the cylinderheads and spark plugs entirely free fromsooty deposits. The carburetter is entirely automaticat all speeds, no attention being requiredafter once adjusting, and the spark isregulated automatically by a devicewhich fires the charge at all speeds at apoint to produce the greatest oiling of all parts of the motor is.

No muffler is em-ployed, the discharge acting upon theair similarly to a skyrocket and not likea gun. It is claimed that the exhaustcannot be heard when the motor is work-ing at part power. Air cooling is effectually accomplishedby the cylinders revolving at a rapidrate, drawing in the air at the centre ofthe revolving unit and expelling it withgreat rapidity at the periphery. The variable compression system bywhich the speed of the motor is con-trolled consists in allowing that part ofthe charge of gas not needed by onecylinder to be drawn in by another cyl- cared for by an automatic, positive feedoil pump. By reference to the illustration, it willbe seen that from this position everypart of the motor proper is exposed toview and readily accessible, that is,every part that will ordinarily ever re-quire examination or adjustment.
