Duplex Limited carrying 3750 pounds of potatoes from New Orleans to Baton Rouge, miles in 6 hours 55 minutes running time. Elapsed time 10 hours 10 minutes with 3 hours 15 minutes lost by ferry delays. The motor never missed and the water in radiator boiled only once and that after a 12 mile pull through "; After a 46 mile run in 2 hours to Port Allen the motor meter registered "; HERE in this Duplex Limited is the defin- ite practical achievement of the motor truck industry's aim to produce a truck that could freight 1^ to 2 tons at high speed. This Duplex Limited is no mere city delivery wagon—but a strong rugged road truck capable of hauling 3000 to 5000 pounds over city or country roads, and doing it on schedule time. Designed and built for pneumatic tires—not merely equipped with them—the Limited travels easily and smoothly enough for even very fragile freight. Minimum vibration and shock saves wear and tear—and adds longer life to the truck. Its motor is wonderfully rugged and powerful— and when turning over only about 1300 it drives the truck along at 25 miles an hour on high. Gear ratio is 53^ to 1 insuring high speed at min- imum wear on motor and other moving parts. Electrically equipped throughout—which means economy of gasoline as drivers will shut off motor when truck is not running. The radiator is suspended in patented Duplex Spring Suspension—which allows }i inch sidewise and 1 inch up and down movement before radiator touches anything solid. Prevents damage to radi- ator solderings and eliminates the great source of radiator leakage. Lamps equipped with Nitrogen bulbs are mounted on radiator to prevent bulb damage by vibration. Motor meter made part of radiator shell to pre- vent loss by theft. Ball bearings used throughout—engineering tests show it
