Itsthe Simplest Engine Made I havent had much experience with GasEngines, Henry, tell me why you recommend theMcVicker. Well, in the first place, it is so simple tooperate. It has only % the parts of any other enginemade, and therefore it is the easiest to understandand to run. There are no intricate cams, ratchets,tumbling rods or other complex and delicate gearto get out of order and need adjustment and tink-ering. I just start my McVicker going, and itrequires no further attention than supplying fueland Then it will stand 50% more over-load. Unlike most four-cycle engines (thebest type, by the way) the McVicker willpick up power on the first revolution ofthe fly-wheel, if needed to take up a sud-den load. Other engines often stop on thethird under a sudden load. The McVicker has only four moving partsin its valve action, while other engines havetwelve. You can see that that means less frictionto overcome in the McVicker, and consequentlyit does more work on the same fuel, and uses lessoil. I figure In action It only costs me 1 centper hour per horse-power to run. See how well its made, all the working partsof the best forged steel, and bearings of compo-sition brass; the base is heavy and reinforced atthe crank bearing, giving absolute rigidity. Allthese parts, even the bolts, the Alma Manufac-turing Company make in their own factory. Theygrind the cylinder rings
