Bonnet — Aluminum. Quadruple hinged.
Guards — Sweeping guards of beautiful design. Guards and shields fully protect body from road wheel splash.
Dust Pan — Steel pan extends from front axle to rear of transmission. Ap. n extends from radiator to front axle. The under side of the car is therefore completely housed.
Lockers — Storage space under both seats.
Equipment — Shock absorbers, two gas head lamps, two oil side lamps, one oil tail lamp, gas tank or generator, horn and full set of
tools.
PRICE — With touring-car body.......................................$3000
With roadster body............................................... 3000
With limousine body.............................................. 4250
With landaulet body.............................................. 4500
Chassis only.................................................... 2750
Motor — Six cylinders. 4£ x 5 inches. 48.6 horse-power, A. L. A. M. rating. Cylinders cast in pairs. Cylinders ground. Cylinders offset. No moving parts exposed, except fly wheel. Interchangeable, two-piece, mechanically operated valves, all on one side. Quiet spiral gears in front. Crank shaft has tensile strength of 125,000 pounds to the square inch. Crank case has inspection openings. Crank shaft, pistons, etc., removable without removing cylinders.
Self-Starter — Mechanically infallible. Operates by air pressure. Motor started from the seat.
Ignition — Double system. Eisemann magneto and accumulator.
Carburetor—• Winton type. Two throttles, which open progressively and automatically. Much of the success of Winton Sixes is due to this effective carburetor.
Lubrication — Positive force feed. Sight test on dash. Economy of Winton system shown in Long Island Endurance Test, in which a Winton Six ran 242 miles on one quart of oil.
Cooling — Gear driven centrifugal pump. Winton radiator, vertical tube. Radiator fan, gear driven.
Clutch — Multiple disc, having 67 relatively small friction surfaces, running in oil bath. Takes hold gently, but positively. We have used this clutch two years, and find it exceedingly effective.
Gear-Change Mechanism — Selective, sliding gears. Three forward speeds and reverse.
Frame — Pressed steel. Motor, clutch and transmission carried on drop frames. No sub frame.
Steering — Screw and nut design, with ball thrust bearings. Forward steer front axle. Steering links adjustable.
Brakes - Four; all on rear wheel hubs. Brakes hold secure in either direction. No transmission brake.
Drive — Propeller shaft, with roller-type universal couplings. Timken roller bearings on pinion shaft. Driving mechanism entirely housed. No chains used anywhere in Winton construction.
Axles — Front axle of manganese bronze. Rear axle, floating type. Carries no load, weight of car being carried on heavy drawn-steel tube that surrounds the axle. Spur differential. Drop-forged nickel steel gears and pinions.

The Winton Six carries its starting crank in the tool box, and the prospect is you will have little use for it.

"One Dollar Upkeep for 4343 Miles"
'These are Six-Cylinder Times
Buyers who want comfort, smooth operation, absence of vibration, flexibility, hill-climbing capacity and economy of operation must come to six-cylinder cars. We realized that fact a year ago. That’s why we began making sixes exclusively. Results have proved our policy was right. Results have proved our Sixes were right.
So we are making the same car again this year, equipping it with a five-passenger body, and selling it at the exceptional price of $3o00.
plains why the Winton Six is better balanced and why vibration is minimized.
Saves Upkeep Expense
Lighter power impulses, less vibration, continuous torque and the fact that second and first gears are seldom used explain why there is lessened wear on parts — why it is possible for Winton Sixes to travel 4343 miles on an upkeep expense of $1.
Indeed, continuous torque affects favorably every part of the car, down to the tires, which on the Winton Six do not suffer from tlie intermittent jerk which they receive on other types of cars.
Practically continuous use of the high gear and the flexibility of the motor are further reasons why gasoline consumption is cut down on the Winton Six.
Cranking Days are Over
“Get out and crank.” That’s one of the humiliating experiences of motoring that the Winton Six user doesn’t suffer.
Overlapped Power Strokes
Overlapped power strokes mean also overlapped suction strokes; hence there is a continuous suction through the carburetor of the Winton Six, whereby perfect carburetion is secured. With perfect carburetion, speedy acceleration of the motor follows as a matter of course. So does fuel economy.
Since continuous torque enables the motor to propel the car on high gear without extending the motor, it follows that the higher motor speeds are always available for hill climbing or for fast going on the level.
The exhaust of the Winton Six is continuous, and with continuous pressure passing through the muffler the noise of exhaust is minimized. Cut out three of the six cylinders as a test, and the Winton Six would be as noisy as a four.
Pistons and other reciprocating parts of the Winton Six are lighter than in a four of the same total horse-power. Each power impulse of the Winton Six is lighter than in a four of equal total horse-power. This ex-
