HAYNES VOLATILIZER IS GREAT ENGINEERING ACHIEVEMENT

Haynes engineers have just achieved a notable improvement in the gasoline engine through development of the Haynes volatilizer which results in a decided increase in motive power with much greater economy in fuel consumption. The Haynes volatilizer was produced especially for the newly-developed, more powerful Haynes 75 motor, and makes this modern Haynes power plant the outstanding achievement in the long, successful career of the famed Haynes engineering corps. Through the operation of the Haynes volatilizer, the liquid fuel is broken up into atoms which thoroughly mix with the air charge, thus making a gas which is highly volatile and which gives maximum explosive force when ignited. The motor exhaust is led around the intake manifold to produce a higher temperature where the gas from the carburetor enters the inlet manifold, thus producing a fuel condition which is ideal for instant ignition and results in the attainment of extraordinary explosive force. An automatic control, operated by the accelerator or the throttle, diverts the hot exhaust gas from its passage around the intake manifold as the speed of the motor is increased, and the necessity for artificial heating of the gasoline and air charge is decreased. Motor experts are agreed that the Haynes volatilizer is a distinct advance in the development of the automobile engine, and state the new Haynes 75 motor shows a great step forward over previous systems of vaporization and combustion.

The efficiency of the Haynes volatilizer was overwhelmingly demonstrated in a recent test at Uniontown Mountain, near Pittsburgh, when a standard Haynes touring car, equipped with the new Haynes 75 motor, had having a gear ratio of 46.10, with 34 x 4½ cord tires, which actually means a 35 inch tire, topped the summit of this mountain at forty-two miles per hour. The ascent was started at fifteen miles an hour, and the powerful Haynes 75 motor quickly attained a speed of fifty-six miles on the steep grade. The car was then slowed down to twenty-five miles at Turkey Nest turn, but immediately picked up to forty-two. T Watering Trough turn it was deliberately slowed down to thirty miles, but despite this handicap, it went over the top at the record-breaking speed of forty-two miles per hour. The car was driven by Mr. A. Hughson, of Pittsburgh.
