Made for
Every Requirement

That statement means just what it says. Go over, step by step, the temperature and pressure applications in your plant. Then sit down with a TYCOS catalog and check the instruments you are using, or could use. You will be astonished to find that there really is a "TYCOS" for every requirement.

Years of research and practical experience have been required to perfect the TYCOS line. Instrument after instrument has been built and tested for long periods of time, only to be scrapped in the end because it did not measure up to the TYCOS standard.

The TYCOS catalogs contain information, data, drawings and tables, as well as instruments and their use. If you will tell us what line of work you are interested in we will send suitable catalogs immediately.

Electricity Is Always
On the Move

LECTRICITY never

stands still; neither does the electrical industry. Every year sees new developments, new machines to add to the comfort, eliminate the drudgery, and provide greater opportunity for enjoyment of everyday life. and work.

Two years ago electric refrigerators were little known. Last year, according to authoritative estimates, more electrical refrigerators were sold than during the preceding five years combined. An average of 200 American homes exchanged their oldfashioned ice-boxes for the electric variety every day during 1925.

In addition to the electric refrigerator, many other uses for fractional horse power motors are almost continually broadening the demand for these highly efficient machines, until their manufacture has become the keystone of the arch of electric service.

Another Year of
Steady Progress

There is also no end to the growth of business, and the amount of capital that can be invested and utilized profitably and for the public good in the electrical industry.

One of the biggest recent developments is the inter-connection of the chief power systems so that surplus power may be transferred from one system to another in case of need. Often there is independent financing and management; the only connection is through transmission lines. But the linking up of productive sources eliminates large expenditures for reserve power plants.

FORBES for May 15 will give special attention to some of the significant phases of recent progress in the electrical industry which should be of interest to all business men.

French, Italian, English, German, Aus-
trian, Czecho-Slovakian factories, and
many European distributors of American
cars, accepted this invitation. Most of
the cars entered were specially con-
structed for the race with special engines,
springs, and axles.

Buick cars in this event were stock cars,
with no special equipment . . . They
were entered by the Amtorg Trading
Corporation and the Helsingfors
(Finland) Buick dealer.

The course established and weather con-
ditions stamp this as the longest and
most difficult antomobile test ever un-
dertaken. Eighty-four cars faced the
starter at Leningrad, with the finish line
at Moscow, over a course of 5,300
Kilometers (3,290 miles).

.

Rain fell nearly every day of the twenty required for the run. Roads were deeply pitted with holes, and almost impassable mud was frequently encountered. Sand and mountains added still more difficulties.

The cars in the trial were divided into groups, according to cylinder capacity. In Buick's classification, 6 American and 2 foreign cars, contested for supremacy. Five first prizes were possible in each division.

And Buick won 4 out of the 5! The first award for general excellence went to Buick, as did the first prize for economy, speed from a flying start, and speed from a standing start.

The Russian tests only confirm what more than a million Buick owners already know; that in dependability, and mastery of driving condition . . Buick leads!
