Over since 1902 when the first Locomobile gasolene car was built we have always used a carbureter of our design and manufacture. The satisfactory operation of the motor year after year depends so largely on the carbureter that we have always felt that it should be specially designed and proportioned for each motor in order [...]

In a general sense, the most impressive feature of the Locomobile motor is its strength of construction. The design is substantial, the quality of material is the best, the workmanship is accurate, and the system of testing is elaborate and thorough. These precautions combine to make a motor that will keep running satisfactorily year after [...]

But under the “corporate average fuel efficiency” rules – the standards mandating fuel-efficiency forcars and trucks sold in the United [...]
