I H C GASOLINE ENGINES

The I H C line of gasoline engines offers unequalled opportunity for selecting efficient and economical power. This
line includes engines of almost every type and size adapted to farm, shop, and mill use, and every engine is characterized
by simple and durable construction.

Every feature of I H C gasoline engines is the result of years of thorough and conscientious investigation of every
phase of engine construction. No effort has been spared to make these engines simple, reliable, and capable of utilizing fuel
to the greatest possible advantage.

STRENGTH — To be a profitable investment a gasoline engine must be so constructed that it will last for many
years. The use of high-grade material alone is not sufficient to insure this. The different parts of the engine must be con-
structed strong enough and heavy enough to withstand the strain under which they operate. The designers of I H C engines
have made a careful study of this subject and the result is that I H C engines are properly proportioned throughout — not too
heavy — not clumsy — but neat, attractive, and equal to any emergency.

SIMPLICITY — Everyone appreciates the fact that simplicity of design in any machine is highly desirable, but
few realize how difficult it is to attain. The absence of all unnecessary or comphcated parts on I H C engines makes them
very easy to operate, start, or stop. It also eliminates, to a great extent, the possibility of the engine getting out of order,
and makes repairing, when necessary, a simple matter. The simphcity of I H C engines contributes largely towards their
popularity as it makes it possible for even an ine.xpericnced person to operate them.

EC0A'03IY — Every effort has been made in designing and constructing I H C engines to insure a proper utilization
of fuel. The pistons are accurately fitted and are provided with lap joint piston rings which prevent any loss of compression,
as a loss of compression would mean a loss of power. The explosive charge which is used to drive the piston in a gasohne
engine is a mixture of vaporized gasoline and air. The proportions in which these are mixed determines to a considerable
degree the economy and effectiveness of the engine. The mixers used on I H C engines have received careful attention
and are so constructed that liquid fuel is not forced into the cylinder and wasted, but a properly proportioned atomized
mixture is fed into the cylinder at the right time to insure maximum power from the resulting explosion.

RELIABILITY — The material used in the construction of I H C engines is the best procurable and they are
built by workmen who thoroughly understand engine construction. A very extensive system of testing and inspection is
used in the factory where I H C engines are constructed. From the time the raw material is received until it reaches the

^^^-^^tSX^-^i

(S^^f^^^

final inspecting room, it receives many rigid chemical and physical tests. Through all the course of manufacture the
various parts of the engines are examined by the most exacting inspectors. When the completed engines reach the final inspec-
tion room they are subjected to a severe running test under the supervision of the master inspector. Here the engines are
run under conditions that would be sure to bring out the slightest defect and cause their rejection. The result is that
it is well nigh impossible for an I H C engine that is not absolutely up to standard to reach the salesroom or purchaser.

ADAPTABILITY — Not only have I H C gasoline engines been constructed with a general aim towards effi-
ciency and reliability, but different engines in the line have been developed for special purposes. There are engines built
for general, farm, and shop use, and also engines designed to fill the requirements of those wishing power especially adapted
to their particular needs. In the I H C line will be found engines of from 1 to 4.5-horse power and in a great variety of styles,

REPAIRS — One of the great advantages of I H C engines lies in the fact that all parts are perfectly interchange-
able. Accidental breakage never throws an I H C engine out of commission for any length of time as repairs can always
and easily be secured.

The following pages are devoted to a detailed description and explanation of the various engines in this line.

OPERATION OF FOUR-CYCLE ENGINES

The operation of the large majority of internal combustion engines is based upon the same principle, termed "four-cycle."
The theorj^ was first formulated by M. Beau de Rochas in 1862 and requires four strokes of the piston, as follows: The first
outward stroke draws through the intake valve a charge of the fuel automatically mixed with air in the right proportion. At
the end of the stroke the valve closes and the return of the piston compresses the charge. Just before the dead center the
electric ignitor is snapped, which produces a spark in the cylinder, exploding the gas. The second outward movement of the
piston is the power stroke, at the end of which the exhaust valve is opened. On the return of the piston the burnt gases are
expelled and the cycle of operations is completed. It will be noted that one explosion is obtained for every two revolutions
of the fly wheels.

I H C engines are of this four-cycle type. But there are many two-cycle engines also. The two-cycle engine requires
onl}' two strokes or one revolution of its fly wheel for each impulse. The incoming charge necessarily mixes somewhat with
the burned gases not yet thoroughly driven out, and for this reason the two-cycle engine is neither as economical nor as reli-
able as the four-cycle engine. However, the two-cycle is used extensively and to good advantage under many different con-
ditions, particularly in marine engine construction.

PISTON AND WRIST PIN—

The piston is of the triinlc ty]ie and extra
long to insure ample wearing surface on the
cyhndcr. It is as long as the stroke and
the wrist pin is at the center instead of at
the end so that the piston can not wear to
a taper. The wrist pin has an unusually
long and large wearing surface. A sup-
plemental wrist pin oiler keeps the pin thor- |;,
oughly oiled so that it is never necessary '
to run with a dry pin. This greatly reduces
wear. The wrist pin is held securely in
place by two set-screws with lock nuts.

Lap joint piston rings, ground to an
exact diameter, prevent loss of compression
past the piston.

CRANK SHAFT AND MAIN
BEARINGS— The smaller size crank
shafts are drop-forged. The larger sizes are _ "''" ^'"^ "' Horizontal Engine

forged from solid, open hearth steel billets, without welds of any kind. They are interchangeable. The proportions are

liberal and adeciuate to the strain under which these parts work.
Large diameter of the crank pin gives amjjle wearing surface.

The crank shaft bearings are phosphor bronze — the best
known anti-friction metal. This metal is very close-grained
and docs not cut or wear the parts working in it.

The I H C bearings are extra heavy and long, machine
finished, and hand-scraped to a perfect fit. They are thor-
oughly lubricated by oil cups of large diameter.

Cranii Sliaft

CONNECTING ROD— The steel connecting rod
is drop-forged, carefully machined and polished. Adivided box
securely bolted to the connecting rod is used in the crank end.
Whenever necessary, this box can be removed without remov-
ing piston or wrist pin. The wrist pin bearing has a phosphor
bronze bushing which can be adjusted by the bolts in the head. Connecting Bod

INLET VALVE— The inlet valve is steel, of the
poppet type. It is large to permit a ready ingress of the fuel.

INLET VALVE CHECK— The inlet valve
check is one of the most economical features of I HC engines,
because this check keeps the intake valve automatically
closed in cases where a speed above normal is attained.
In such cases the exhaust valve is held open for the time,
but no fuel is admitted to the cylinder and wasted. Let-
ters patent have been granted to the International Har-
vester Company on this remarkably effective arrangement.

EXHAUST VALVE— The exhaust valve is of
the most durable construction, having a steel stem and cast
iron head. The seat is removable — a desirable feature,
for, if the seat should become pitted by the hot gases, an
entirely new cylinder head would not be required.

VALVE MECHANISM— The valve mechanism
operates in a straight line. There are no delicate connec-
tions to get out of adjustment or cause friction. All parts of
the mechanism are made of a high-grade steel with large
wearing surfaces wherever necessary.

GOVERNOR— The hit-and-miss style of gov-
ernor is used on the I H C engine. This method is sensitive
in regulation and reduces fuel consumption to a minimum.
It so operates that when the speed is above normal the inlet
valve is held closed to prevent fuel entering the cylinder,
and the exhaust valve is held open to insure cleaning of
the cylinder.

The method of operation is as follows: When above speed, the arm from the governor balls pulls the sleeve "C"
outward, as shown in the illustration. The beveled portion presses upward on the roller "D," causing the detent arm
"E" to move downward. When the long side of the exhaust cam presses the roller at the end of rod "H" outward, the
detent arm "E" engages a notch at "F," holding the exhaust valve open until the speed is reduced to normal. The sleeve "C"
moving back allows the detent lever to disengage "F" and the cycle of operation is again taken up. The spur pinion "B"
on the crank shaft engages with "A," a spur gear of twice its diameter, thus reducing the speed of the exhaust cam, so that the
exhaust valve is open every other revolution. Likewise, the ignitor is snapped by the rod "G" through the movement of the
eccentric on the half speed shaft.

STARTING — The I H C engine is easy to start because a small auxiliary cam on the exhaust cam can be thrown
in to engage the roller and relieve compression. When the roller is thrown back into place the engine works under

full

compression.

MIXER — The fuel as it enters the cylinder is thoroughly 'atomized or broken up. The
method of operation is as follows: A rush of air through the large air pipe, induced by the suction
stroke of the piston, draws a small quantity of gasoline from the nozzle, which is immediately vaporized.
The size of the ojjening of the gasoline nozzle inside the air pipe is controlled by a needle
valve. This nozzle is connected with a supply cup to the left.

The exact openings of the nozzle necessary to start and operate the engine are marked on the
dial of the needle valve, so that the proper mixture is insured.

The overflow from the supply cup is cari'ied back to the fuel tank, so that any danger from
overflowing of gasoline is eliminated.

IGA^ITOR — The body of the ignitor is made from cast iron, the electrodes from steel, and
the ignition points from a special material that will withstand the heat of the spark, as well as
the effects of corrosion and oxidation.

The stationary electrode is insulated, and one wire from the battery is fastened to it.
The return circuit is made through the movable electrode and the cylinder when the ])oints
are in contact.

The forward movement of the ignitor rod on the side of the engine causes the movable

electrode to come in contact with the one which is stationary. This contact is maintained

for a very short time, when the rod allows the movable electrode to spring back quickly,

Makc-aiui-iJriMk Ignitor breaking the circuit and producing a spark within the cylinder.

As will be seen from the illustration, the parts within the cylinder are large, so that they

cannot become incandescent and pre-ignite the charge.

The ignitor is directly in the path of entering charges of explosive vapor, which aids in
keeping the ignitor points clean and cool. As the inlet valve opens, the mixture of gasoline
and air passes the ignitor points with considerable velocity when entering the cylinder, cleaning
or brushing off any soot that may have been deposited upon them. The ignitor plug may be easily
removed from the cylinder when it is necessary to clean the ignitor points. lenitor, sh^T^ng ignition

ENGINE BASE — This base consists of two parts, the main frame and sub-base,
which are firmly bolted together. It is neat in design and appearance, yet possesses ample
strength and rigidity to hold all mechanism in perfect alignment.

FL.Y 'WHEELS — The fly wheels are very securely attached to the crank shaft, yet
they may be easily removed in case of necessity. The hubs are split, and in addition to being
keyed to the crank shaft, are clamped by means of bolts running through the hub.

GASOLINE PUMP — I H C gasoline engines are fitted with a plunger type gasoline
pump. A very novel and effective valve arrangement is used. The upward movement of
the plunger draws gasoline through the ball valve to the right, while the other one remains seated
and thus prevents suction from that direction. A downward movement of the plunger forces
the gasoline out to
the left and up to the

mixer cup. The es-
cape of gasoline past
the ]5lunger is pre-
vented by a packing gland of accepted construction.
All parts of the pump are brass with the
exception of the plunger and balls, which are steel.

TANK-COOLED—The wire gauze cool-
ing tank is small, so that a few pails of water are
sufficient to keep the engine cylinder from over-
heating. The plunger pump, which is part of the
equipment, keeps the water circulating through the
jacket. The pump is provided with drain cocks and a
handle for lifting the valves off the seats. Opening
these as soon as the engine is shut down drains the
pump. The galvanized gauze or screen may be
easily removed and can be renewed at slight expense.

SPEED-CHANGING DEVICE

The speed-changing device here illustrated is part of the regular equipment of all horizontal tank and hopper-cooled
engines. This device consists of a small segment and lever, and a
rod operating the new detent arm upon an eccentric bushing. By ro-
tating this eccentric bushing, the travel of the governor is varied
sufficiently to give the desired change in the speed of the engine.
This attachment gives a variation in speed as follows:

PISTON — A long trunk type piston is
used, which affords ample wearing surface. Three
accurately fitted, lap joint piston rings prevent
escape of compression past the piston.

The wrist pin is large, provitling a liberal
wearing surface on the connecting rod. It is in
the center of the piston, conseciucntly there is
no tendency to w'ear to a taper. A phosphor

balls swing outward, causing the governor
sleeve to slide towards the fly wheel. The bevel
portion of this sleeve moves the detent
lever, which, in turn, engages the
cam lever, holding the exhaust valve
open until speed drops to normal.

VALVE GEAR— The valve
gear is a very simple and effective
arrangement. It operates in a straight
line and without rccjuiring any fine
adjustments. The valve rod, because
of the construction of the cam upon
which the cam roller turns, serves the
double purpose of snapping the igni-
tor and opening the exhaust valve.

VALVES— Intake and
exhaust valves are both large enough
to allow a ready ingress and egress
of the gases.

MIXEK — A very simple and effective mixer, a sectional view of which is shown on this
page, is used on all vertical engines. The flow of gasoline is induced from the nozzle by a
rush of air through the pipe, the quantity being regulated by the needle valve. Coming in
contact with the air, the gasoline is thoroughly vaporized and enters the cyhnder in a properly
proportioned mixture. Any excess of gasoline pumped into the mixer is returned to the supply
tank by a large overflow pipe at the bottom of ihe mixer.

GASOLINE PUMP — The plunger type gasoline pump is continuous in its action.

LiDBRICATION — A splash oiling system keeps all main
working parts on the I H C engine well oiled.

A sight feed oiler on the side of the cylinder supplies oil
to the piston as it passes the opening. The oil in the chamber
below the crank shaft is held so that at each revolution of
the crank the oil is splashed throughout the interior by the oil
splasher which dips into the oil. In this manner the piston,
nd main bearings are kept properly lubricated.

Excess oil in the bottom of this chamber may be
drawn off when necessary through the oil gauge at the
bottom.

This splash lubrication proves very desirable, especially
should the operator neglect to turn on the sight feed oiler
when starting the engine. In this case there is oil enough
ill the chamber to insure thorough oiling of all parts.

FLY WHEELS— The fly wheels have split hubs
and are keyed to the crank shaft.

Detail of Portable Engine Showing Water Tank
and Front Trucks

I H C PORTABLE GASOLINE ENGINE

4. 6. 8. 10, 12, 15, 20, AND 25-HORSE POWER

These portable engines have a wide range of adaptabihty. They
meet the demand of farmers and contractors who desire reliable power which
can be easily transferred from place to place. They furnish the most efficient
and economical power for operating threshers, buskers and shredders, shellers,
silage cutters, pumps, saws, and other farm machines. Contractors find
them excellent outfits for well drilling, stone crushing, pumping water out
of sewers and low lands, for operating temporary electric light plants, and
other work requiring an engine which can be readily moved from one place
to another as desired.

TRUCKS — These engines are mounted on substantial trucks which
are light, but at the same time strong and rigid enough to stand up under
the jarring and jolting resulting from being hauled over rough roads. The
frame upon which the engine rests will support it under all conditions. The
axles are solid bars of steel turned to size at the ends to form bearings for
the wheels. The wheels are steel with the exception of the hubs which are
high-grade castings.

ENGINE — The engine proper is essentially the same as the \'ictor

horizontal engine, except that it is mounted without sub-base on trucks
which make it very convenient for trans-
porting.

COOLING— Cooling arrangement
consists of cooling tower and circulating
jjump mounted on the truck with engine.

IGNITION— Electric ignition is
used. Batteries and auto sparker are regu-
larly furnished.

FRICTON CLUTCH PULLEY— A friction clutch pulley bolted to the sjxjkes
of the fly wheel is used on this engine. The construction of this pulley makes it possible to
start gradually without jerking or jarring the machine which is being driven.

SPECIAL ACCESSORIES— Magneto and engines with hot tube may be had
on special order at a small additional cost.

I H C VICTOR HOPPER-COOLED ENGINES

HORIZONTAL STATIONARY— 4, 6. AND 8IIORSE POWER

I H C Mctor hopper-cooled engines are in
many essentials similar to the I H C Victor horizontal
tank-cooled engines. However, a change in the
cooling arrangement greatly simplifies them.

COOJLING — Instead of being equipped
with a cooling tower, circulating pump, and pipe,
the water jacket of the cylinder is extended upwards
to form an open jacket or hopper. This hopper
holds enough water to keep the engine thoroughly
cooled for several hovu's. As the water evaporates
very slowly, it is an easy matter to keep the hopper
filled. This cooling arrangement docs away with
the danger of the cylinder being cracked by freezing,
as the hopper opening allows the water to expand.
However, if the engine is left exposed to freezing
weather for a considerable length of time, it is
advisable to drain the hopper.

SPECIAL ACCESSORIES— At asmall
additional cost, a magneto, auto sparker, and fric-
I H C Victor, Stationary. Hoppcr-Cooled. Gasoline Eneine tion clutch pulley .can be supplied.

FAMOUS ONE-HORSE POA\^ER HOPPER-COOLED ENGINE

Famous 1-Horsc Power Hopper-Cooled
Engine Mounted on Special Hand Truck

ENGINE — This engine has the same main frame,
fly wheels, crank shaft, governor, gears, detent, muffler,
mixer, gasoline tank, and skids, as are used on the 1-horse
power Tom Thumb engine. However, it has make-and-
break ignition, and the inlet valve is so arranged that the
incoming mixture passes over the ignitor points and keeps
them clean and cool. The timing of the ignitor can be
adjusted while the engine is running, which facilitates the
starting of the engine. This engine has a new hopper-jacketed
cylinder with water-cooled head. If the engine is running
under full load, the hopper full of water will evaporate in
about one hour.

MOUNTING— The engine is regularly mounted
on a platform, but it can be mounted on special order on a
semi-portable truck, which includes the wheels and a handle
for drawing the outfit.

TOM THUMB FAMOUS AIR-COOIiED GASOLINE ENGINE

l-HORSE POWER

This air-cooled engine is an excellent power for
operating any farm or shop machines to which a 1-horse
power engine is adaptable.

MOUNTING— The engine, gasoline tank, and
battery box are mounted on a solid wooden sub-base,
which makes it very convenient for moving from place to
place. On special order, at a slight additional cost, it can
be mounted on a small truck which includes wheels
and a handle for drawing the outfit.

ENGINE— This engine is provided with a hit-
and-miss type of governor, very sensitive in its action.
No gasohne pump is used on this engine; but, instead,_ a
simple mixer placed over the gasoline tank. A partial
vacuum is produced in the pipe by the suction stroke of
the piston and a flow of gasoline is induced into the mixer.
This gasoline, the quantity of which is regulated by the
needle valve, reaches the cylinder in a properly propor-
tioned mixture. The valve mechanism is very simple. Both valves may be removed by unscrewing one bolt in the cylinder head.
IGNITION— Jump spark ignition is used, for which five dry cell batteries and a spark plug are regularly fur-
nished. The spark is very convenient and accessible, being placed on the top of the cylmder.

PULLEYS— A plain pulley, 6 inches in diameter, with a 2M-inch face, is regularly furnished. A complete pulley
arrangement for driving the cream" separator, consisting of a reducing gear and a 4-inch pulley capable of transmitting
i^-horse power, is regularly furnished.

SPECIAL ACCESSORIES— A special 6-inch pulley with a 5-inch face can be used for operating the standing
and walking beam pumping jacks, and can be supplied on special order. A 4-inch pulley may also be had on special order.

FAMOUS VERTICAI^ AIR-COOLED GASOLINE ENGINES

2 AND 3-HORSE POWER

These vertical, air-cooled engines are very satisfactory for many small jobs about the farm and shop. Their light
weight makes it an easy matter to move them from place to place.

MOUNTING — The engine, with gasoline tank and batterv box, is mounted on substantial wooden skids.

ENGINE — Equipped with fly wheel type of governor. Sight feed oilers are used on main bearings and piston. A
splash system lubricates the crank pin bearings. The crank case, while not entirely closed, is so constructed that no oil can

be thrown out. The gasoline tank is located in the sub-base and fuel
is pumped into the mixer by a plunger type pump. Jump spark
ignition is used, current for which is supplied by five dry cells and a
spark coil.

COOLING — A small fan attached on the pulley side and
operated by a round bolt from the fly wheel keeps the cylinder cool
and at the proper temperature. This arrangement does away with
the heavy cooling tank, pump, and piping. There is no danger
of the cylinder becoming overheated, as this cooling arrangement is
so effective that the engine can develop its full rated horse power
all day.

PULLEYS — A .5 x 5-inch pulley is furnished with the
2-horsc power engine, and a 5-inch pulley with a 5i2-iiif'h surface is
furnished with the 3-horse power engines.

SPECIAL ACCESSORIES— On special order, any of
the pulleys listed on page 15, for 2 and 3-horse power \'ictor engines,

H C GASOLINE TRACTORS

13, 15, 20. 25, AND 45HORSE POWER

I H C 30-Horse Power Gasoline Tractor

and

I H C gasoline tractors, which are
made in several styles and sizes, are proving
a profitable investment to those farmers who,
keeping pace with 20th century advancement,
are replacing the expensive and inefficient
animal power by the more modern, more
efficient, cheaper, mechanical power. The
horse, the ox, and the plow, has each seen
its day, and the man behind the plow is
entering a new era of progress.

I H C gasoline tractors have proved
to be the most economical and satisfactory
for plowing, hauling loads, and also for
delivering power from the belt to operate
threshers, shellers, shredders, and many
other large machines. The reasons for this
superiority are not hard to find. The engine
— the power plant — is the well known I H C
engine of which thousands are in use through-
the power transmission, though simpler, is similar to the method

out the country. The truck is very substantial,
used on successful steam tractors.

This correct design will explain why in every contest I H C tractors come out winners. At the Winnipeg farm motor
contest in July, 1910, I H C tractors delivered approximately 75 per cent of the engine's rated horse power at the draw
bar— at the point where it takes the place of horses. This per cent of the engine's power delivered at the draw bar was larger
than that delivered by any other gasoline tractor. Again in the plowing contest, I H C tractors plowed an acre of ground on
less fuel than was required l)y any other gasoline tractor entered. These two points, maximum power at the draw bar, and
minimum fuel consumption, are the two vitally important facts which determine the efficiency and desirability of the tractor.

I H C tractors are made in 12, 15, 20, 25, and 45-horse power sizes, and in several styles.

Catalogues describing the different styles can be had upon application to the local agent, general agent, or the general
offices in Chicago.

FAMOUS PUMPING ENGINE

2-IIORSE POWER

This is a desirable pumping outfit because, besides pumping, it may be used for otlier purposes to which an engine of
this horse power is adapted.

By detaching tlie walking beam from the pump, and belting from the pulley on the fly wheel to the machine, the
engine is ready to operate many of the small machines on the farm.

It may be easily transported from place to place inasmuch as the entire outfit is mounted on skids.

Tliis outfit is a direct connected or walking beam outfit, designed especially for wells or reservoirs.

ENGINE— The engine is hke the I H C Victor vertical
engine with the exception of a sub-base which, in this case, extends
out and forms a support for the gears and face plate, as well as a
receptacle for the gasoline tank.

GEARS — The gears are well constructed and are securclj'
held in position, so that there is no possibiHty of changing their posi-
tion and thus throwing the gear teeth out of mesh.

MOUNTING— The outfit is very substantially mounted
on wooden skids, which carry the engine, cooling tank, gears, and
walking beam standard. Three braces hold the walking beam
standard securely in position, so that the entire outfit operates at all
times with minimum friction.

houses, handling lumber, laying cable, handling ice
and for telephone construction work.

The outfit consists of a regular 8-horse power
Famous horizontal engine, with a special crank
shaft, mounted on a special sub-base, which also
carries a drum and reverse gear, friction clutch,
speed-changing device, and controlling levers. The
drum shaft carries a winch. The maximum speed of
the engine, with speed-controlling device in, is 310
revolutions per minute; the minimum speed, with the
device released, is 200 revohitions per minute. The
rated load of 1,300 pounds, with single cable, can be
lifted 175 feet per minute. With single cable a
maximum load of 1,584 pounds can be lifted. The
friction clutch and brake have ample holding power,
handling the maximum load without slipping. The

Gas Attachment on I H C Victor
Vertical Engine

to be used in a \'ictor eneine

I H C Victor and
Famous engines can be sup-
plied with a gas attachment,
which is easily attached in
place of the gasoline mixer.
With this attachment arti-
ficial gas may be used as fuel
with excellent results. The
illustrations herewith show
the gas attachment on both
the vertical and horizontal
engines.

When artificial gas is
it is necessary to change
the entire cylinder and piston, for the reason that artificial
gas has a less number of heat units than either natural gas
or gasoline vapor. This makes greater compression neces-
sary to secure the same efficiency which, in turn, re-
quires a new cylin-
der and piston.
Therefore, when
artificial gas is to
be used it should be
so stated when or-
dering the engine,
so that an engine
especially adapted
for this fuel can
be shipped.

COMBINATION GAS AND
GASOLINE ATTACHMENT

A combination gas and gaso-
line attachment is also furnished
on special order for I H C Victor and
Famous engines. This attachment
has been designed especially for use
in localities where natural gas is
available part of the time. It is so
designed that natural gas alone may
be used as a fuel until pressure is so
low that artificial vapor must be
supplied, which may be accom-
plished by slightly opening the needle
valve and allowing gasoline vapor to
enter with the natural gas in order to
produce an explosive mixture in the
cylinder rich enough to explode; or the gas may be cut off
entirely and the engine run on gasoline. No change of piston
can be made with this attachment,
with artificial gas
there is a slight de-
crease in the power
of the engine, ac-
cording to the
quality of the gas.

ALCOHOL ATTACHMENTS FOR I H C ENGINES

Alcohol attachments may be furnished for
both vertical and horizontal I H C engines. This
attachment consists of a new cylinder head com-
plete, an alcohol mixer, and a strainer. This new
cylinder head must be furnished complete in order
to provide greater compression in the cylinder,
for it is possible to obtain the rated horse power
of the engine economically when using alcohol,
only by increasing the compression. This alcohol
attachment is furnished as an extra only on
special order.

EXTENDED CRANK SHAFTS

In making direct connections with dynamos
and various machines, extended crank shafts are
sometimes necessary. Below will be found a list
of the extended crank shafts which can be fur-
nished for I H C engines. These crank shafts are
listed as special features and should be ordered
separately. They can be put on the engines before leaving the works, or they may be added to the
engines in the field. In the table below the length of extension listed can be furnished on the pulley
side of the shaft, on the governor side of the shaft, or on both sides of the shaft. When ordering it
should be specified on which side the extension is desired.

OPERATING I H C GASOLINE ENGINES W^ITH KEROSENE

In cases where a Victor or Famous gasoline
engine is working under a constant load of one-half
its rated horse power or more, it will be found eco-
nomical to operate the engine with a mixture of
kerosene and gasoline. This should be mixed in
the proportion of one part of gasoline to four or
five parts of kerosene. Some have found that by
using kerosene it is possible to reduce the cost of
operating 20 to 33J per cent. With an engine of
large horse power, under continuous operation,
this reduction in fuel bills will mean a considerable
saving in the course of a year.

SUPPLY TANKS— To use a kerosene
mixture properly, it is necessary to have two
tanks — one for gasoline alone, and another for the
mixture of gasohne and kerosene, in proportions
of 1 to 4 or 5. These tanks are both con-
nected to the engine pump, as shown in the illus-
tration, and are shut off by means of a three-
way cock. Two overflow pipes from the feed cup,
also operated by a three-way cock, carry the over-
flow of kerosene mixture and of gasoline back to
the supply tanks. No change in the engine itself
is necessary.

STARTING THE ENGINE— To start the engine, throw the three-way cock so that the supply of gasoline is
turned on, and the supply of kerosene mixture shut off. This will permit a supply of gasoline to be pumped into the feed
cup. Start the engine on the gasoline as ordinarily, and let it run for about one-half hour, so that the engine is well warmed
up, then shut off the gasoline and turn on the kerosene mixture.

STOPPING THE ENGINE — At the end of the run, shut off the kerosene mixture, turn on the gasoline, and
allow the engine to run for five or ten minutes before closing down. In this way all the kerosene mixture is cleaned out of
the feed cup and pipes, so that when the engine is finally stopped it contains nothing but gasoline. The engine is thus
made ready to start up the next time without delay.

KEROSENE ATTACHMENT FOR I H C HORIZONTAL ENGINES

This kerosene attachment is designed for use on the 6-horse power I H C Victor or Famous horizontal engine. The
illustration shows the engine equipped for using kerosene instead of gasoline as fuel.

The engine is hke the regular Victor, 6-horse power, gasoline engine, except that it has, instead of the regular gasohne
mixer, an attachment for using kerosene as fuel.

The attachment consists of a mixer, and a heater which lies under the cylinder head, into which, by means of a valve,
any proportion of the hot exhaust gases may be turned. By means of a similar valve on the mixer side, any amount of fresh
air may be drawn through the heater, thus regulating
the temperature of the incoming charge. A small
amount of exhaust gas is admitted to the mixer
adjacent to the needle valve and becomes a part of
the explosive mixture. The purpose of readmit-
ting this exhaust is to overcome premature explo-
sions. It is also an aid in running the engine
under no load, as it assists in vaporizing the kerosene.
Two fuel tanks and the necessary piping are used.

The engine is started in the usual manner,
using gasoline as a fuel, and as soon as the engine
has warmed up sufficiently the fuel is changed from
gasoline to kerosene by throwing the lever of a three-
way cock. The length of time that the engine
should run on gasoline depends on the temperature
of the surrounding air. In an ordinary room from
3 to 5 minutes are required. It is unnecessary to
use the heater unless the tem]3crature is freezing or
when working under light loads.

The fuel consumption is the same as gaso-
line consumption, and depends upon the setting of
the fuel valve. The engine will run under no load,
using kerosene, but if it is required to run this way
for more than an hour or so at a time it would be
cheaper to use gasoline, which can bodone by a simple
turn of the three-way cock.

This kerosene attachment may be attached
to the regular I H C \'ictor or Famous, 6-horse
power, horizontal engine.

WEBSTER MAGNETO

^V^IZARD MAGNETO

AUTO SPARKER

Webster Masncfti with all Parts

The Webster magneto can be furnished
on special order for all I H C gas, gasohne,
kerosene, or alcohol engines, with make-and-
break ignition, stationary, portable, and
traction, from 2-horse power up, with the
exception of the 2-cylinder vertical engines
and the 2i-horse power hopper-cooled engines.
Batteries are not necessary when a magneto
is used, as the magneto generates a fat, hot
spark. The engines can be equipped with
magnetos before being shipped, or the
magnetos may be put on engines in the field.

In ordering, state the size of engine on
which the magneto is to be used, as there
are several sizes of ignitor plugs. Take out
the old ignitor plug, and put on the one sent
with the magneto, as explained by the instruc-
tions sent.

wizard Magneto

When specially ordered, the
Wizard magneto can be fur-
nished for all engines witli
make-and-break ignition. This
magneto is comparatively cheap,
and may be easily placed on the
engine. It is driven by friction
contact with tlie fly wheel of
the engine. Through its use,
it is possible to start the engine
without the aid of batteries
inasmuch as the current is
furnished by means of per-
manent magnets.

The Motsingcr Auto Sparker

The i\Iotsinger auto sparker is an auto-
matically governed dynamo. It differs
from a magneto in that it does not depend
on permanent magnets, but is built on the
plan of large lighting dynamos, and its
magnets are kept constantly magnetized
by the current from the machine itself.

The auto sparker can be attached
to any engine, but those using a jump-
spark plug must use a special coil designed
by the Motsinger Company.

By using the auto sparker the engine is
started on batteries, after which the cur-
rent is turned off and the spark supplied
by the auto sparker. This auto sparker
is furnished regularly on all portable
and traction engines. It can be supplied
on special order for other engines.

SECURITY LONG DISTANCE GASOLINE SUPPLY

This gasoline sujaplj' sj'stcm provides a very satisfactory arrange-
ment for storing and pumping gasoline.

TANli — The tank is made of rust-proof, galvanized, sheet steel,
and is specially l^uilt to be buried in the ground away from the building.

These tank.s can be furnished in two sizes — 54 gallons and 120 gallons
capacity. The tank is filled by means of a fill-and-vent pipe, provided
with a patented cap which can be locked in place with an ordinary padlock
to prevent anyone meddling with the contents.

PUMP — The pump is a combination suction and force pump,
which provides a means of draw-ing the contents of the storage tank quickly,
regardless of the distance between the pump and the tank.

The pump can be located in the building and at the most convenient
point for the delivery of the gasoline. The surplus can be drained back
into the gasoline tank in a moment's time, thus affording the greatest
measure of protection.

The pump is furnished with a -'j^-inch brass hose connection faucet.

This outfit, as shipped, consists of a .54-gallon tank or a 120-gallon
tank, as desired, and pump, together with two bundles of 1-inch galvanized
pipe and necessary couplings to connect it.

The tank is furnished with flanges for 3-inch, IM-inch, and 3-^-inch
pipe. The 3-inch opening is for the fill-and-vent ; the 1 J^-inch opening is
for the suction pipe, and is fitted with a IJ^xl-inch bushing, into which
is screwed a 1-inch street elbow and a piece of 1-inch pipe (with wire gauze
soldered on the end) extending to the bottom of the tank. The }'2"i'if''i
opening is not used with the long distance storage system.
