Study especially the hot-air control and self-priming device. By these you are enabled to start your motor in cold weather almost as easily as you do in summer. This device, together with the direct fuel feed; the gasoline cleansing screen; the emer- gency supply; go to make a system as complete as engineering skill can accomplish. We lay stress on it here because it is characteristic of the thoughtful and_pains- taking skill in designing that is evident in every detail of Hupmobile construction. It is but one of many instances we can show you to justify our belief that the Hup- mobile is, in its class, the best car in the world. HUPP MOTOR CAR CO., 1231 Mitwackee Ave. Detroit, Mich.

Detroit Air regulating handle on Device How the Automatic Primer Operates Gasoline motors need a heavy charge of gasoline to start them in cold weather. Generally this is ob- tained by flooding the car- buretor. Or, when still more gasoline is needed, by injecting it directly into the cylinders through the relief cocks. We have done away with both of these trouble- some methods by supply- ing the Hupmobile car- buretor with an auto- matic primer. The air supply to the carbu retor is controlled by a shutter, operated by a handle conven: iently placed on the dash. By turning this handle the quantity and temperature of the air passing through the car- buretor can be regulated. For starting in cold weather the air shutter is nearly closed da mixture very “rich” in line is drawn into the cylinders. This comes from the carbu- retor nozzle asa very fine spray. making it easier for the spark to explode than in the car of ordinary priming with liquid gasoline. All air passing into the car- buretor at starting is drawn through the hot air collector and heated by the exhaust pipe. so that the engine gets under way almost as quickly and smoothly as under more favor- able weather conditions, Another advantage of the Hupmobile gasoline supply, is the location of the tank under the dash shroud, so that gaso- line is positively fed to the car- buretor by gravity, whether on the level or hill. On its way to the carburetor, the gasoline passes through 3 screen so fine that the water aad dirt are separated from it. Just below the screen is a valve, operated by the gasoline outlet handle, which can be set to keep one gallon of gasoline in reserve for an emergency.
