Lubrication is secured by automatic forced-feed oiler, supplying oil to all wearing surfaces. Enginecooling is provided by means of thermo-siphon circula-tion in radiators of the fin tube type of 2000 sq. ft. coolingsurface and 60 gal. capacity, suitably placed on the roofof the car. The cooling system is arranged so that it may. Passenger Compartment of Gasoline-Electric Motor Car be filled from the exterior of the car. All parts of coolerand engine can be readily drained. The ignition system consists of high-tension magnetoand plugs. The carbureter is of the overflow type with ad-justable control for warm air supply. The gasoline is sup-plied to the carbureter by means of a plunger pump me-chanically driven from the engine. An auxiliary handpump is also provided for starting. An air pump driven from the main crankshaft of theengine supplies air for the brakes and whistle. This pumpcylinder is 4 in. diameter by 4 in. stroke and has a dis-placement of 16 cu. ft. of free air per minute when run-ning at 550 , which is the normal operating speed ofthe engine. The gasoline tank is of steel and of 90 gal. capacity. Itis located under the car body and is filled from the exteriorof the car. Two strainers are supplied between gasolineinlet and engine. Only one pipe leads from this tan
