rM<JkJs America Pays a Compliment To British Engines! ¥ t W \V^ bS» h 8* The day of the high-efficiency small motor-car engine is here, and in the following extract from the “Dominion ’ it is shown that American manufacturers recognise this fact. “Conspicuous among changes which are being made in American motor-car construction is the trend toward lower piston displacement. With the small engine it has been proved that, in spite of lower cylinder dimensions, the actual developed power at the point of maximum efficiency has not decreased, but has shown an upward tendency. Leading factors in developing increased power from decreased dimensions lie in higher compression and greater speed of piston travel. With modern force feed lubrication, modern bearing construction, and the modern method of suspending the crank-shaft in the motor with extra large bearing surfaces, the increased piston travel becomes a feature of marked advantage so far as operating economy, fuel economy, and general motor efficiency is concerned. Another notable feature of the light American car of today is the fact that compression ratio and ratio of piston travel per cylinder dimension approach—and in one case equal—those of modern six-cylinder motors.” What is an innovation as far as America is concerned has been standard MORRIS practice for the past fifteen years. The Morris satisfies every reasonable demand. It will maintain an average speed equal to that of any car double its size, and nominally double its horse-power.
