General Description In design National Engines have all the strength needed to withstand con- tinuous hard work. Evei-y working strain is properly provided for. The Cylinder is made of semi-steel, noted for its remarkable strength and density. Every hopper cooled cylinder is given a special high pressure water test to guard against leaks in the cylinder walls or jacket. The water space is exceptionally wide and a drain at the bottom of the cylinder allows water to be taken out when necessary. The Crank Shaft is a steel drop forging of the best quality, accurately fini.slied by grinding. The Connecting Rod is of malleable iron and has an automatic lubricating metliod. This takes care of the bearings on both ends from the waste cylinder oil—a saving of expense and trouble. The Piston is ground to a mirror finish and has automatic lubrication for the wrist pin bearing. The Piston Rings, three in number, are eccentric and lap jointed. This is the most perfect ring known. They are ground like the piston. The Governor is of simplest design, hit and miss, absolutely reliable and ecom^mical in its regulation of fuel consimption according to load. The Fly Wheels—Smooth running in an engine, especially on truck, depends Engines accurately on the fly wheels. National have fly wheels that are turned and properly balanced. The en- gines will run steady without blocking the truck wheels. The Mixer is our famous design with both needle valve and air shutter reg- ulation. These adjustments enable the user to secure uniform results under varying loads. Lubrication is ample throughout—a sight feed oiler on the cylinder and lubrication on the connecting crank bearings have hard automatic rod. The oilers. Ignition is either make and break or jump spai’k. Each kind is of the simp- lest character and perfect in adjustment when the engine leaves the factory. National Engines are shipped ready to run after careful tests at the fac- tory. Unless damaged in transit the engine will be i-eady for work as soon as uncrated and supplied with fuel and lubricating oil. Horse power, l^/i: bore, 3%; stroke, 4%; speed R. P.
