THE ENGINE THAT WON’T. What an engine won’t do is every bit as important as what it will do. And what the Northfield-Ross 60-Twin won’t do is shake your glue joints apart. Or cause radio failure. A t any speed. Its’ the smoothest running engine you can get. Every bit as vibration-free as you expect a twin cylinder engine to be (only no other twin is). In fact, it’s everything you expect a twin to be (only no other twin is) because it was de signed by Lou Ross and is manufactured by a company that’s famous for high precision manufacturing. And, incidentally, the Northfield-Ross 60- Twin has two big relatives that will give you even more vibration-free power: the Ross- power 4 cylinder (1.2 cu. in.) and the Ross- power 6 cylinder (1.8 cu. in.). W e’ll be happy to send you complete infor mation and a free brochure about all three Northfield-Ross engines.
