ed except a small temporary tank
to' hold the limited supply of fuel.
Before each test was made the fuel
tank was sealed 'and the driver went
as far as he could. In several in-
stances more than 50 miles to the
gallon was secured. '
This nation- wide test was decided

life of one in a thousand motor cars,
From a standing start the ^Whippet•
demonstrated that it could easily tow
loaded trucks' up to 20,000 pound;;
without a, strain on the; 'motor,. In
various sections of the country this

Various runs were made during
the test to try the speed of theWhip-
pet and the results have upheld the
reputation of the car as one ableto
meet any emergency where speed
and stabilityy are required. The ranges
with the Crottle wide open were, in
some cases, over 60 miles an hour.
These speed tests included straight-
away and hill routes.
