Why the
Friction Transmission
This is the feature which
makes it possible for the
Cartercar to give "extra"
service. The usual howling,
jerking gears being replaced
by this transmission having
but two unit parts means
more reliability. It is noise
less, simple and makes the
Cartercar most efficient just
where other cars are deficient.
There is very little waste of
power.
Advantages of
Chain-in-Oil Drive
A patented Chain which
runs in a constant oil bath is
used to transfer the power to
the rear axlebecause it is the
most economical with power
and requires least attention.
All you have to do is to renew
the oil about once a year. Grit
and sand being kept out, wear
on the chain is practically
nothing.
All New
Modern Features
You will find in the Carter
car all the new ideas of motor
car building, such as full float
ing rear axle, self starter,
three quarter rear elliptic
springs, large wheels, long
wheel base, etc.
