Vortical Four cylinders Water
cooled 4 inch bore stroke
developing 31 to 35 actual brako horso power on testing
stand Cylinders are all special close grained cylinder
iron cast in pairs
Crank Case Tho crank caso is cast in one piece
giving great rigidity and avoiding all
leakage of oil through packed joints of the two piece type
Connecting rod adjustments can bo readily made by sim
ply removing the two hand hole plates on the side of tho
crank caso Main crank shaft bearings being adjustable
from tho outside of tho crank caso Tlieso features aro
possessed by no other motor of this typo at tho present
time and avoids practically any dismantling of the motor
in order to adjust tho main and connecting rod bearings
Tho entire operation of adjusting tho bearings taking not
over one half hour to accomplish
Crank Shaft The crank shaft is of speci 1 high
grade manganese steel having a ton
silo strength of 110000 pounds to the squaro inch Tho
crank pins are l inch diameter 214 inch long The
three main bearings have a combined length of 10 inches
with 1J inch diameter Tho crank shaft is offset from
the center lino of cylinders as is also tho cam shaft from
the tenter lino of valve plunger guides This is td avoid
excessive piston and cam thrust on cylinders and valve
lifter guides
Cam Shaft 1uo cam suaft s f Inrgo diameter run
ning in three bronze bearings and is
easily removed Tho cam gears are all spiral cut giving
freedom from noiso These gears run in a l ath of oil con
stantly maintained by tho motor lubricating system
The Oiling System Tbo offlnp system is of the
0 J circulativo
pump splash
type A single largo plunger pump is driven from tho
cam shaft through an eccentric It delivers oil from the
oil reservoir to the three main bearings of the motor also
to the face of the cam gears This oil then collects in
partition rsservoirs in the bottom of crank caso and is
maintained at a constant level Tho connecting rods dip
ping into this oil cause a line spray which lubricates the
cylinders and piston The amount reaching the cylin
ders being governed by splash plates We have in this
oiling system no outside pipes or connections to get loose
or leak no stuffing boxes on he pump to require atten
tion no additional driving gears to operate tho pump no
adjustments except those made at tho factory when the
motor is assembled We have self cleaning pump which
instead of drawing all the particles of lint and dirt into
tho protecting screen by steady suction as in a gear
pump keeps the screen clean by discharging at least one
half of its capacity against the screen at each stroke Wo
have also instead of the large oil reservoir holding two to
three gallons an oil reservoir holding three quarts This
is advisable since it eliminates tho trouble arising from so
large a quantity of lubricating oil becoming very dirty
and full of carbon deposits Tho addition of fresh oil
every 250 to 300 miles is far preferable to a larger quantity
at longer intervals Particular attention is paid to
making tho motor oil tight and eliminating tho loss of
oil and the attendant filthiness of the motor Theoutside
main bearings have return oil leads as have also the mag
neto and pump shaft The valve plunger guides have re
cesses at the top for collecting oil and returning it to the
crank case and also have protecting caps cajfully fitted
to keep the dirt out and the oil in TiwrtfiotbrbalTonly a
single grease cuplocated on the
Water PumD The water pump is of the cei
v gal type very efficient and 1
lblo It is driven from the magneto shaft
Connection to Transmission
transmission is through a double universal
access-
pjjj The fan is mounted on ball bearings and is driven
by 7 8 inch flat endless belt The belt adjust
ment is very convenient and positive
Valves be vlve lifters are all adjustable and
have hard fiber inserts to deaden the noise
Valves are of large diameter bevel seated 35 per cent
nickel steel heads electrically welded to cold rolled
round steel stems
Flv Wheel y wneelJ3 f aniple diameter to secure
steady running It has formed within it
fan blades to assist in keeping the motor cooled and re
moving the dead gas from under the hood
Cilltch Type rue clutch is of the multiple disc type
Disc The discs are hardened steel and phos
phor bronze Steel discs are carefully ground after hard
ing
Operation
The clutch is provided with a large ball
thrust bearing to take the thrust open
ing A single spring easily adjusted provides the neces
sary closing presure on the discus The whole clutch is
so designed that there is no end thrust on the crank shaft
when iu or out Special attention has been paid to se
curing a clutch that releases instantly and engages with
out chattering or taking hold too severely It has a posi
tive release due to the fact that the plates are positively
dragged apart by the act of opening the clmch not left to
separate by the uncertain action of numerous small
springs Special attention has been paid to securing very
large surfaces of contact between the edges of discs thus
eliminating the rapid wear of tho plates and the rattling
do to looseness
