For a year 'round average. an hour and twelve minutes a day is slightly better than the driving of an everyday automobile owner. The record-breaking Roosevelt test, therefore, offers conclusive proof, not only of the advantages of the straighteight type of engine, but of the stamina and dependability of the Roosevelt car itself, according to Thomas E· Jarrard , general sales director of the Marmon Motor Car company. During the entire eighteen days, eight hours and. thirty minutes of the run, neither the engine of the Roose velt nor the car itself stopped for any reason, gasoline, oil and water being replenished while in motion from a "mother" car. It was impossible, of course, to make major repairs or adjustments since the car was constantly in motion under its own power. ...
