The Allis-Chalmers Model -
WD Tractor, with center Are
combustion, gets more pow-
er from each gallon of fuel.
Extensive research by
AUis-Chalmers engineers
resulted in a new combustion
chamber design. Spark plugs -----
are located so that ignition occurs ,right in the
center of the chamber. Manifold design,' vfdve
location, and ignition timing iare all carefully
coordinated. As a result, the fuel mixture fires
smoothly and expands out evenly . , . like ripples
from the center of a pond.
With this design you get new power for engine
size . . . new fuel economy.
