Flexibility is the natural endowment of the Stanley Car. zinning, buyers of motor We read in these advertisements that cylinders have been multiplied, valves have been doubled, carburetors, gear- shifts, clutches have been improved, time and again. What is the purpose of all this? Is it not an attempt to give you flexibility? to give evenness of torque or power impulse?—to overcome the lack of power when necessity demands slowing up your car?—to minimize vibration and self-destructive effort?—to make it easier to shift gears? —to get instan- taneous combustion and otherwise overcome the disadvantages of explod- ing fuel instead of burning it? The intent has been good, but the re- sults are unsatisfying. cars have been demanding flexibility, to supply it. Practically every motor If flexibility is worth advertising, it is obviously worth having. In the Stanley, the power is stored when the call for it is light for use when the call is heavy. The genera- tion of power does not depend on speeding up the engine. The delivery of power does not depend on changing the gear-ratio. The control of this power is by throttle only, without gear- shift or clutch. The customer can use the maximum power, not merely under the 10% of ideal road conditions, but also when he wants that power most—under the 90% of average give-and-take road conditions — when it means safety satisfaction and assurance. flexibility which manufacturers are trying to give their patrons in principle incapable of Twenty-Fifth Year STANLEY Car Stanley Motor Carriage Co., Newton, Mass. comicbooks.com
