| The Atlas BALL BEARING JACK LIFTS WITHOUT FRICTION SO SIMPLE, SO EASY, SO GOOD, A CHILD CAN USE IT. EVERY MOTORIST will recognise and appreciate the advantages of the Atlas Ball Bearing Jack at a glance. IN OTHER JACKS 75% to 80% of the force exerted is lost in friction. In the Atlas Jack friction has been eliminated with the result the heaviest car can be raised with the greatest ease. The plunger is mounted on a race of 3/16" ball bearings. The highest standard of quality in material and workmanship has been aimed at and maintained, and it is GUARANTEED IN EVERY PART Each Jack is separately tested to lift the wheel of a two-ton Car, but as a matter of fact it will lift any Car with ease.
