Victory after victory have come to these drivers who necessarily must depend upon the certain and perfect performance of their cars under conditions which owners would never be called upon to duplicate. Think of the punishment a speed boat motor is called on to take such as Caleb Bragg gave his "Baby Bootlegger" in winning the Gold Cup race September 7th, at 58.745 miles per hour, and again when Col. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Vincent drove his Packard Chriscraft II to victory in the Sweepstakes at Detroit, Labor Day, September 7th, at 59.85 miles per hour. These two boats, like practically every entry in both races were Autopulse equipped. And as the nation, about to enter the era of a new and swifter transportation, must have tried and proven mechanisms and simple design to depend on, the Autopulse comes forward to definitely dispose of the vital questions of a guaranteed gasoline supply for aircraft. Whether on land, water, or air the Autopulse, dedicated to fulfill the important mission of providing an absolute gasoline delivery system, challenges the assigned service to put it to the test. No matter where, when, or what the demand, the Autopulse makes possible for the first time a continuously positive and regular means of getting gasoline from the supply tank to the carburetor. Doesn't the logical suggestion follow that you should assign your fuel delivery problems to the Autopulse? No other system quite compares when it comes to performance—not to mention how the use of the Autopulse simplifies production on the line. Tests under conditions of your selection will be gladly arranged. THE IRELAND & MATTHEWS MFG. CO. Established 1889 1500 Beard Avenue Detroit, Michigan | ||
