The New Winton Six for
from the first and sixth cylinders carry part of the combustion pressure to a storage tank under the body. Here it is stored until required for starting purposes. The driver then opens a push valve on the dash, and the compressed air rushes through a rotary distributor valve to the two cylinders just over dead center. This pressure pushes down these pistons and, on the occurrence of a spark, the motor starts. The entire mechanism has only one moving part—the distributor valve. An attachment on the self-starting equipment permits tires to be inflated without the use of pump.
Assembled on the dash are:	(i) the gage,
which shows the amount of pressure stored in the tank; (2) the push button, which allows pressure to flow from the tank to the cylinders, and (3) a shut-off valve, for use when the car is to remain long idle, preventing escape of pressure from the storage tank.
Water circulation is secured by a gear-driven, centrifugal pump, having throw of unusual powder. The water is filtered before it passes through pump, making it impossible for water to clog in the radiator or to cease circulation even though pump should become deranged; in that event, water passes through the pump chamber and the circulating system on the thermo-syphon principle. The new design vertical tube radiator is of extra large size, made of copper tubes, with fins. Tubes are lengthened 1 inch. Radiator filler lengthened 1 inch, and has notched hard-rubber
snug-fitting, eccentric piston rings on each piston assure good compression and power at all times. All pistons, rings, connecting rods and wrist pins of same weight per set, giving perfect balance. Interchangeable, mechanically operated, two-piece adjustable valves of liberal size, are all on one side of the motor, avoiding the use of two camshafts.
The nickel steel used in the valves offers high resistance against the oxidizing and warping effect of hot gases. Due to the valve motion, there is no temporary sluggishness in Winton motors. The profile of the cams is such that it gives a flow of gas proportionate to piston speed.
The crankshaft is made of specially treated nickel steel, having a tensile strength of 125,000 pounds to the square inch. There are four large bearings, bushed with Parson’s white brass. Bearing surfaces are ground. An aluminum crankcase is equipped with three 5 by 8-inch hand-holes to permit instant inspection. The case is divided into right and left halves to provide for ready removal of crankshaft, connecting rods and piston, without disturbing cylinders or motor accessories.
Self-starter Again Featured
Now, that so much talk is going the rounds about starters and starting devices, it is not strange that the starting arrangement which has been so successful on the Winton cars for the past two years is retained and featured. The arrangement of this is as follows: Tubes running
Starting with the startling statement, “The best car in the world has been made better,” the announcement of the Winton Motor Carriage Company, Cleveland, O., proceeds to give the details of the car which will be found changed from now on, the 1909 output having been disposed of, so that the factory is now working on the 1910 cars. These include, as mentioned briefly in The Automobile’s advance notice, page 72, July 8th, a larger clutch, an improved carbureter, a new front axle, longer wheel base and springs, as well as a number of minor and less important changes.
The engine remains unchanged, with six 41/¡ by 5-inch cylinders, rated at 48.6 horsepower. The cylinders, cast in pairs, with water jacket completely surrounding each individual cylinder, are made of tough, close-grained iron; ground to mirror smoothness, assuring long life, freedom from wear and positive compression. Cylinders are submitted to hydraulic test of 300 pounds per square inch before use.
Offset Feature Retained after Severe Test
Cylinders are offset from the crankshaft, securing from the motor its maximum power efficiency, reducing and equalizing side thrust against cylinder walls, and eliminating the “knock” which always tends toward loosening of parts and premature decay of the motor.
Long connecting rods reduce angularity of operation and long pistons avoid “cocking,” decrease wear and friction in cylinders. Three
