CYLINDER GRINDING, In a word, Is a scientific method of mak

motor, naturally bringing greater motoring pleasure', and

. What Cylinder Grinding Qoes
The process of cylinder grinding Imparts - a smooth, highly
fiollshed, mirror-IIke surface to 'the Inside of the cylinder, leav
ng no high or low spots. Tha cylinder bore Is cut perfectly
round and true, and square with the crank shaft, thus providing
Ideal, working conditions for the pistons which are traveling'
rapidly pp and down In the motor, thousands of times to the
minute.- Perfect motor operation can only follow from a per
fectly aliened and trued-up motor. t . ..
This
Piston and cylinder, are unquestionably the moat Important
part of the motor. Because their duty and importance is not
always understood, a brief survey will not be amiss.
It is the duty of pistons to "gather" or receive the power
created by the gaaoltn explosion, transmitting It down and
through the crank shaft Into usabls power and speed. The
force of the explosion sends the piston hurling down, through
the cylinder to complete a revolution of the flywheel and re- ,
turn. Just at this point the available power la either fully
used or wasted. If pistons or cylinders are untrue or out-of-round.

second paragraph; It Is plain that regrinding restores the
' cylinder to .a perfect condition. And only In a smooth, round
cylinder can thl proper and eerre-at fit of pistons, so necessary
for efficient operation, be obtained. The clearance between pis

expansion of the pistons the proverbial paper on the wall .

Good Pistons Absolutely Essential
Therefore It Is clesr that regrinding ot Itself I not enough to
Ineure perfect motor operation. Th pistons are actually the
most Important essential for It Is they that do the acual work.
Grinding only properly prepares th cylinders for the pistons.
It follows then, that the best pistons obtainable should be used.
New pistons are. ot course, necessary, and tor thla purpose
we use and strongly recommend DELUXE pistons No other
pistons so completely fulfill the essentials necessary for proper,
efficient operation In reground cylinders. DELUXE pistons ars
exiremely light In weight. Made of cast Iron they are much
stronger than necessary, achieved By a sclentlllo system of
reinforcing ribs. They have minimum expansion, run cooler
