A marvel of mechanical perfection
HE New Columbia Motor,
shown above, is a marvel of
mechanical perfection.

and Non-Set Automatic Stop.
It runs with absolute regularity
and accuracy. I t is made of finest
steel. Its bearings are entirely of
bronze and brass. I ts gears are
beveled and machined so that gear
meets gear without a whisper. Its
action is regular as the swinging
of a pendulum and quiet as the
ticking of a finely jeweled watch.
