This illustration outlines the oil flood valve and piping that provide -the extra lubrication for the cylinder and piston surfaces while your Packard motor is warming up. This device accomplishes automatically with the pulling of the choke-rod further pocketbook insurance for Packard owners. With any motor at rest, the cylinder walls and piston surfaces have a tendency to become dry. Then, with the rich mixture, necessarily used in starting, this dryness is aggravated by the presence of unburned fuel. The warming up period is no longer a period of destruction to Packard owners, due again to the simplicity and excellence in design of this capable oil flood valve. It reduces cold motor cylinder wear to the minimum.
Packard cars are built in one of the largest, most modern and complete manufacturing plants in the entire automobile industry. It is a full mile in length from the storage buildings and huge body shop in the foreground to the forge and foundry buildings indicated by three clouds of escaping steam. In the center, at the right of the power plant is the service building where spare parts for all model Packards, past and present, are produced and stocked. Back of this great factory are assets of more -^han $50,000,000 devoted exclusively to the making and servicing of Packard products. This extremely modern factory affords a pleasant working place of more than 70 acres of floor space for the thousands of men who convert raw materials into Packard cars, airplane and marine motors, as well as parts for all Packard products, made during our 29 years of excellent manufacture.
Here is another special Packard designed machine to improve manufacture. One hundred and sixteen (116) holes drilled in the cylinder block in one operation. Top of cylinder, top of cylinder block, manifold side and valve cover areas are all contacted at one time. The effort of four operators and four machines is thus concentrated in one machine and one operator, and again - a job is done better for the protection of your prospect's pocketbook.
