To the Morris Cowley belongs the distintHon of having made the roads of Britain British. At a time when this country, owing to the circumstance that British manufacturers had been busy with the war, was over run by alien makes, the Morris Cowley on sheer merit and value for money won back the English highways.

Equipped with a highly efficient engine of I 1.9 h.p, having generous bearing surfaces and of Sturdy conStruCtion throughout, the Morris Cowley car over a period of ten years has led on merit. It is found in the garage of the nobility, taking its share with large vehicles in the four figure class; it outnumbers all other cars in the ranks of doctors, solicitors, surveyors, journalists and other professional men to whom economical, reliable and presentable transport is essential; it is the vehicle of thousands of happy families throughout the length and breadth of the land. Every model in the range has carefully chosen lines with the Stamp of refinement upon them, while the adequately sprung and durable Karhyde upholstery ensures an interior in keeping with the dignity of the exterior. The generous equipment includes Triplex safety glass throughout, bumpers, automatic windscreen wiper, large dipping headlights, electdc horn, shock absorbers, chromium plating and, indeed, everything the modern motorist has been accuStomed to demand in a high class car.

General
ConStructionally, the Morris-Cowley consiSts of a four-cylinder water-cooled engine built in unit construction with an enclosed clutch and three-speed gearbox, the complete power unit being mounted by four-point vibrationless attachments to a sturdy deep-sectioned frame supported front and rear on long semi-elliptic springs. The back axle and torque tube are built up as a single unit attached to the power unit by a universal joint of the divided ring pattern, totatly enclosed in a spherical housing. The transmission is thus completely enclosed. The track is 48 in. arid wheelbase 8 ft. 9 in:

Engine
The 11.9 h.p. Morris Cowley engine possesse:: a bore of 69.5 mm. and a Stroke of 102 mm, producing a cubic capacity of 1550 c.c, and a Treasury tax of £12. The four cylinders are caSt en bloc with the upper half of the crankcase, which carries the crankshaft main bearings, thus ensuring rigidity. The inlet and exhauSt valves are both arranged on the near-side of the unit. Adjustable valve tappets actuated by a large diameter camshaft operate the valves, the complete valve gear being enclosed by a detachable oiltight cover. Decarbonisation is facilitated by a readily detachable deep-sectioned cylinder head. Steel "I" sectioned connecting rods with white metal bearings in generous bronze shells are fitted, together with aluminium pistons. All the crankshaft main bearings are also of white metal in heavy bronze shells. The clutch is of the four-plate type with cork inserts in light alloy driven plates. It is automatically lubricated from the engine and requires positively no attention.

Lubrication
Lubrication is by a plunger pump submerged in the oil sump and driven from an additional four throw earn on the camshaft. It is entirely automatic. The pump intake is surrounded by a readily detachable wire gauze filter, and an oil gauge is fitted to the dashboard to show that the pump is functioning. The big-end bearings and cylinder walls are lubricated from a dipper trough designed to maintain a suitable oil level under all conditions.

Carburation
The working mixture is supplied by an automatic S.U. piston-type carburetter, feeding the heads through ports casft integral with the cylinder block. Hand adjustment for mixture Strength is provided on the Steering column, enabling maximum economy in fuel consumption to be achieved, in addition to ease of starting. Hand adjustment for slow running is also provided.

Electrical Equipment
Ignition is provided by a Lucas magneto mounted transversely, thus placing the contact breaker and diStributor in a very accessible position where necessary adjustments can be carried out with ease. Advance and retard of the timing is controlled by a lever conveniently situated on the steering column. The Starting and lighting equipment is of the twelve-volt Lucas type with a combined dynamo and starter motor (dynamotor). The dynamotor is mounted alongside the gearbox and coupled to the power unit by a silent chain of the inverted tooth pattern totally enclosed, adequately lubricated, and with a simple means of adjustment. Five Lucas lamps are provided, all of which are controlled by a single switch on the dashboard, and an ammeter on the dash gives clear indication of the dynamotor output and battery discharge. The entire elearical system is of Lucas manufaaure.

Petrol Tank
A petrol tank of seven gallons capacity is mounted by straps and four bolts to the all steel dash. It is easily removable from under the bonnet without in any way disturbing the instrument board. It has a large quick action filler cap and carries a dial gaugc indicating its contents. A two-level petrol tap giving a reserve supply of one gallon provides fuel for emergency.

Gearbox
The unit consttruction gearbox/rovides three forward speeds and a reverse, with a direa drive on top. The gears are controlled by a centrally dispose lever and are of case-hardened nickel-chrome Steel.

Brakes
The foot brake operates internal expanding shoes in reinforced pressed-steel drums, mounted on all four wheels. The brake shoes are lined with finest quality friaion material, and adequate shields are provided to exclude all duSt and dirt. A single cross shaft, mounted on self-aligning bearings, ensures equality of braking pressure. All four brakes can be adjuSted simultaneously, and individual adjustment for equalising purposes is also provided. The hand brake operates additional internal expanding shoes in the rear brake-drums. All brakes arc silent in operation.

Wheels and Tyres
Detachable pressed-Steel wheels, equipped with Dunlop reinforced cord balloon tyres, are fitted as Standard.

Tool Kit
The following kit of tools is provided with every car and housed in a large toolbox on the running-board, where they are readily accessible:- Jack (with universal handle enabling it to be operated in any position and to be withdrawn easily after use), tyre pump, wheel brace, three tubular box spanners and tommy, three double-ended spanners, cold chisel, half-round file with handle, 9 in. adjusting spanner, 6 in. Steel punch, screwdriver, magneto spanner, dynamotor adjusting spanner, lubricating pump for chassis oiling system, pair of pliers, hammer, sparking plug box spanner, cylinder head box spanner, three tappet spanners, tyre lever and oilcan.
