speedometer had been tested for ac
curacy. The engine gave its last gasp
at twenty and nine-tenths miles.
The car was made to do some high
gear hill climbing to demonstrate that
the carburetor was not cut down fine
for low gas consumption. The car
was driven at an average speed ot
about twenty miles an hour, at which
pace the motor shows its highest ef

Three of the passengers were news

also to the fact that there were no
carburetor adjustments or tricks or
any kind and that the test was made
under actual running conditions.
