Marco Light and Power Plant - New Way Engine Powered

NEW WAY ENGINES
New Way Air Cooled Engines were utilized by several companies to provide power to drive their proprietary machines.
The Marmon Chicago Company Inc. was one such company. In the brochure just added to the library, Marmon used the New Way "F Series" hinged 4 HP. model engine to drive their Marco Light and Power Plant. 

Later Marmon plants used the New Way "CH" model engines.

LIBRARY UPDATE
The Marmon Chicago Company Inc. large format folded brochure for their "Marco Light and Power Plant" has just been added to the New Way library 

• The document is an excellent testimony to the claims of reliability of the products represented backed up and supported by "Uncle Sam's" demand and use in military application in the US and France in WWI.
• Multiple illustrations show details of the plant and engines to ensure the purchaser was aware that "Quality of Plant" was the genuine goal.

DOCUMENT FORMAT

• Original intentions were to provide this in a multiple A4 page modified format for easy printing on a home printer. That proved not practical and the original large folded format has been retained with very high resolution for printing. 
• Printing on a good resolution A4 printer is still possible because of the quality of the document but of course the print will be very small.
• Printing to any format, either A4, A3, A2 or A1 should be done with the printer set to "Fit to page" so the print is expanded to maximum size for the format you choose.
• Print the document "double sided" on "short side"
• Once printed, 
• Fold long side in half, with the address field outward
• Fold again mid between borders near address field.
• Finally fold again so address field forms the front and the back is the smallest bordered area headed with the statement "The War Developed and Perfected" 
• Trim the folded document edges to suit.
• Enjoy!!
