Miss Green, Serious 16, laces PERFECT BORE AFTER 100,000 MILES Since the adoption o( the high chromium alloy cylinder blocks by the Hudson 'Motor Car Company for and Templanee, the factory hat had the opportunity of inspecting cylinder bores after 100,000 miles oi use. The high chromium alloy block has fully'justified its adoption according to Hudson engineers. Not only have scored cylinder walls become extremely rare, but the Talve seats also have proven themselves to be practically indestructible.

This harder cylinder block is a far more expensive unit than the regular cast iron block generally employed. It is more expensive in two ways. In the first place the castings made Irora this alloy cost more initially, and in the second place, because of their hardness, they are much more difficult to machine. Cutting speeds are only about one-half of what they are with the regular cast iron block. Furthermore, a more expensive cutting tool has to be employed because the ordinary cutting tool will not stand up very long when cutting this hard cylinder block.

Engineers of the Hudson Motor Car Company have kept a careful check on cars which have traveled extensive mileages. A check on a great many of these blocks used in all sections of the country, show that cylinder bore wear even after 100,000 miles is negligible. There is also a very drastic reduction in the number of valve grindings necessary to keep the engine in first-class condition. These cylinder blocks have proven a boon to owners as Hudson engineers predicted when they were first introduced a little over a year ago.
