TWO new models have recently been added to the range of vehicles marketed by the International Harvester Co. of Great Britain, Ltd., 259, City Road, London, E.C.1. The new models are known as the .C1---15-cwt. and the C20— 30-cwt., and the chassis prices are £185 and £250 respectively.
The smaller chassis is equipped with a six-cylindered, sidevalVe engine, with a bore of 3 5-16 ins, and a stroke of 41 ins.'; a maximum of 78.5 b.h.p. is developed at 3,400 np.m. Features of the engine include a down-draught carburetter ; four steel-hacked, babbitt-lined, removable
shell main and connecting-rod bearings ; counter-balanced crankshaft and hardened exhaust-valve-seat inserts. Mounted as a unit with the engine is the 9-in, diameter single-plate clutch with built-in vibration damper, ad the three-speed synchromesh gearbox. The drive is taken through an open propeller shaft, with roller-bearing universal joints, to a spiral-bevel axle, the axle shafts being of chrome-molybdenum steel. Both the pedal and hand lever operate self-energizing-type brakes on all wheels through the medium of cables. The wheelbase is 9 ft. 5 ins., the overall length being 14 ft. 01 in.,
whilst the body space from the back of the cab to the end of the frame is 4 ft. 713-16 ins.
The C20-30 cwt. chassis has a four-cylindered power unit of 3i ins, bore and 4i ins. stroke. Side valves are employed, and a maximum of 41.5 b.h.p. is developed at 2,400 r.p.ra. The engine is three-point mounted, the rear supports being rubber cushioned. Ignition is by coil and battery, and a semi-automatic distributor is used.
The clutch has a built-in vibration damper, and the gearbox has four fonvard speeds and a reverse. The gear ratios are as follow :—Top direct, third 1.69, second 3.09, and first 6.4 to 1; reverse 7.82 to 1; axle ratio 5.3 to 1. Transmission is by an open two-piece propeller-shaft, having a self-aligning centre bearing and needle-type universal joints, the final drive being by spiral-bevel gears to semi-floating axle shafts; the differential gear incorporates tapered roller bearings.
Mechanical, self-energizing brakes are used, the hand lever operating those on the rear wheels, and the pedal those on all four wheels. The steering gear is of the camand-lever-type. The wheelbase is 11 ft. 1 in. and the overall length 16 ft. 7 ins., whilst the body space is 8 ft. 3i ins. The chassis weight, with full equipment, and including oil, fuel and water is 36 cwt.
