A motor car's ability to get over the road—to make the grades—to haul the load—is truly defined by its pulling. power, and by nothing else. Thus, because rated power is merely a mathe- matical computation, based on the motor’s bore and stroke, it cannot be an accurate indication of what the Hupmobile Long- or any other car, can actually Stroke ‘'32,” do. On the other hand, pulling power is increased or decreased by these most important factors Relation of piston stroke to cylinder bore. Motor design. Efficiency of the carburetor. The degree of simplicity attained in the general chassis con- struction. 5. The degree to which friction is reduced in the working parts. &. Weight of the car. Let us see how and why it is greater in the Long-Stroke “32. 1. A stroke neither too long nor too short, but in ratio to the bore as 1.7 to 1— the mean average of the most widely used European practice. A motor with cylinders cast en bloc; valves at the side, protected from dust and dirt. The adaptati the hest European designs to American condi- tions. The Long-Stroke goes a step farther by providing three liberal crankshaft bearings—instead of the two usual in unit cylinder construction— shutting out the possibility of undue crankshaft strains. 3. Absolutely automatic carburetion—assuring correct mixture at all speeds and under all loads, without resort to adjustments. A chassis stripped clean of every complication. Motor, clutch, and trans. mission a compact, space- and weight-saving unit, permanently ‘aligned and pensing with a shaft and universal joints between clutch and transmission. Friction reduced to the last limit by the finest domestic and imported ball and roller bearings in all important bearings outside of the motor. One universal joint between transmission and the full-foating rear axle, instead of two. Practically straight line drive. Weight 200 to 300 pounds under that of many cars of equal That much less dead weight to dissipate powe: Each of these is a distinct and unusual advantage in itself. Collectively, and because they enable a greater proportion of the engine's power to do its real work—they set the Hupmobile Long-Stroke "32" apart from and above cars of its price. Their incorporation in the $900 Long-Stroke "32" Hupmobile is the result of the work of a homogeneous engineering and factory organization, held intact since the inception of the company; and the designs of E. A. Nelson, who designed the original Hupmobile and ail succeeding models. Catalog mailed on request. Hupmobiles are now being built in the new factory, which, in point of equipment and facilities, ranks among the finest motor car plants in the world.
