The engine of the new Model A
Ford car represents one of the most
remarkable en gineering accomplish
ments in the history of ;.".omotivc
development. While not radically new
in principle or design, it represents a
new, combination of engineering prin
ciples whic h has p rod need the best
tested pcrfor mance features of the
older types of automobile engines with
the most im portant features of the
newer .types.
Without abandoning entirely tuc
principles of the old low-compression
ow-sneed motors in favor ot the ex
tremely high-speed, high-compression
type, Ford engineers have developer1,
a medium s peed, medium-compression
motor that has proved itself . much
better adapted . to the needs o( r
ight car. i A wide variety ot uses
under all sorts of road conditions
and in widely 'varying climates ; arc
thus served more satisfactorily than
would be possible with a radically
high-speed, high-compression motor. ,
Jts power, motnness ana tiexiDiiny
are remarkaoie tor its size ana
wcicht. The 'Model A motor develops
40 brake horsepower at 2200 . rcvoluJ(
tions per minute. 'In accounting tor
this performance credit must- be given
to the following improvements: An
induction system which permits a bet
ter and more uniform flow of air
and f uel to the combustion chamber;
redesigned valve and combustion
chambers which give ' higher, nice
uniform power. ' impulses, ; lighter but
stronger reciprocating parts and in
creased bearing sizes which result
in sturdier con struction and conse
ouentlv smoother operation : newly
designed hot-spot manifold gives un
usually efficient carburetion and there
is also improved timing.
The combination of these features
has produced a motor that gives un
usual ; speed and lower for its size
and weight and at the same time one
that is long-wearing. economicau m
fuel consumption" and simple to' ope
rate and maintain. Because of it
comparatively low speed it does not
work the self-destruction that come
as a natural result of wear when mov
ing parts are operated at the higher
rateof s peed, and yet it has con
siderbly more nower, s need, smoth
ness and flexibility than the low-speed
motors.
