being has ever traveled on land, sea or air in
24 hours, .' V
A CHALMERS stockhassis has broken v .
the 24-hour stock chassis record of
1819 miles ih 24 hours,' which has been
held 'by the Hudson since May, 1016 ,'
' This supreme achievement in motor"
car endurance was attained when Joe
Dawson.5. drove a Chalmers Speedster
equipped with an absolutely stock motor
1898 miles in 24 hours over the Sheeps
head BaV Speedway on August 1-2.

' This marvelous performance was ac
complished without a motor stop or me
chanical trouble of any kin&
This is the fastest time ever made by a
motof for such a 'distance. The fastest
world's locomotive records are dimmed
by comparison with this dazzling exhibi- "
tion of Chalmers speed and stability.
Added weight to the Chalmers perform
ance is given when it is considered that'it
belongs in the 230 cubic inch piston class,
whereas the holder of the best previous
record, the Hudson, is in the 300 cubic
inch class. 1
