June 7, 1929 WILMETTE > = Marmon, R oosevelt New Water Pump Packing Cars Given Tests Is Called a Labor Saver A water pump packittg that ca~ be on G~eat Sp~edway in stalled easily and in quick time is , just announced. This nev.- packing, kn own as Grapho, offers several un t~sual features that ar e planned to save ~tme and trouble and as ·ur c a better LIFE · Ano~her Memorial day 500-mile race of the Indianapolis Speedway is now a matter of history and since th e Marmon Wasp, designed bv Col. Howard Marmon, won th e fi~st 500mile race in 1911, it has been acknowledged that the event is of ines ti mable value to the entire aut omobile industry. The principal feature of modern race car design-eight cylinders . in line-continued, as in form e r years, supreme. The great majority of entrants, a s well as the great majority of finisher s. in this year's Indianapolis co ntest were cars with straight eight m ot ors. Since 1919, the growth of the s traight eight principle on th e speedway ha s bee n constant and rapid. No other type of motor is favored hy speedwa\· experts and it is only natural that this significant development be extended to the passenger car as it has . been in an important and \\·iclespread way. Marmon, for example. ha s been full advantage of the "lesson of the speedway." AJt of its passe nger ca;-s are s traight-eight s) tested on the very Indianapolis track where th e e ight cylinder principal was initiat ed ;:tnd then proved in uperiority. The pre . cnt ~1 annon-built produ ct s. th e Roo:-.evelt, the Marmon ()8 and the ~f anuon 78. were driven in extended da,· and night trials over the sa m e brick - tra ck as was the scene of th e 500-lllile sweepstakes May 30. Having the advantage of a location adjacent to the famous Indianap ol is track and employing an engineering staff that has been fullv con scious nf the value of speedway- r e. ults since the year when the Marmon \\'a . p emerged victorious, the !\1 ann o n colll panY has maintained a constant check on the re su lt s of each 500-mile co nte st . But' ~1 ann on engineer:; d o IJt)t ston at that. for \vhcn a ce rtain device or method of construction is successful in a Memorial Dav race, it is not ac ; ccpt('d as pract~cal or useful until . it is taken again to the track and proved to their own sa tisfacti o n in trial s that are tmh1tmpered hv the excitement and strain of race day.
