Year after year the Morris Cowley maintains its popularity with the motoring public, proof positive of its sterling qualities and remarkable dependability.

The 1932 Morris,Cowley retains the basic features which have made this model so popular in the past, but has been completely reconsidered in the light of recent engineering developments and modern requirements, with the result that it to day represents even more astounding value than ever before.

The new sturdy downswept frame and excellent springing provide an exceptional low centre of gravity with consequent high degree of road aability and safety, vvhile at the same time greatly improving the appearance of this range.

Road safety is additionally ensured by the highly efficient Lockheed hydraulic brakes, which give a degree of braking efficiency more than ample to cope with the exigencies of present day conditions.

The power unit, while retaining all its basic good features, has been developed and improved by the incorporation of duralumin connedting rods and air cleaner heater and fume consuming head and coil ignition. These improvements have resulted in a greater power output, longer life and an improved petrol consumption.

The alternative choice of an 11.9 h.p. (£12 tax) or 14/32 h.p. (£14 tax) engine is given without extra charge

General
Constructionally, the Morris Cowley consits of a four cylinder water cooled engine built in unit conarudion with a multi plate clutch and three speed gearbox. The power unit is mounted by four point attachments to a sturdy deep sectioned downswept frame of sound design, supported front and rear on long semi-elliptic gaitered springs, controlled by progressive shock absorbers of the fridtion type. The frame provides a particularly lovv centre of gravity and a high degree of road stability. The track is 4 ft and the wheelbase 8 ft. 9 in.

Engine
The 11.9 h.p. Morris Cowley engine possesses a bore of 69.5 mm. and a stroke of 102 mm., giving a cubic capacity of 1550 cc and a Treasury tax of £12, and the 14/32 h.p. Morris Cowley engine has a bore of 75mm. and a stroke of 102mm giving a cubic capacity of 1802cc and a tax of £14.

The four cylinders are cast en bloc with the upper half of the crankcase, which carries the three crankshaft bearings, thus ensuring perfedt alignment and rigidity. The inlet and exhaug valves are arranged on the near side of the unit and are operated by adjuaable tappets adtuated by a camshaft of large diameter. The valve gear is completely enclosed by a readily detachable oiltight cover. Decarbonisation is rendered exceptionally easy by the readily detachable cylinder head of special formation.

Duralurnin connedling rods of "I" section with white metal bearings carried in generous bronze shells are fitted, as are aluminium pistons. All the crankshaft main bearings are of white metal in heavy bronze shells, and provision is made for taking up bearing wear. The clutch is of the four plate type with cork inserts in light alloy driven plates. It is automatically lubricated from the engine.

Lubrication
Lubrication is by a plunger type pump submerged in the oil sump and driven from an additional four throw cam on the camshaft. It is entirely automatic in its action and also functions as a camshaft vibration damper. The pump intake is surrounded by a readily detachable wire gauze filter and an oil gauge on the dash provides indication of the correct fundlioning of the lubrication sysrem. The big end bearings and cylinder walls are adequately lubricated from a dipper trough designed to maintain a correct oil level under all conditions. Chassis lubrication is achieved by an Enots high pressure oilgun and accessible nipples.

Carburation
The mixture is supplied by a highly efficient automatic S.U. piston type carburetter feeding the cylinders through ports caft integral with the cylinder block, and drawing its air supply through a large capacity air cleaner and pre heater, which also coliedts and consumes all crankcase fumes. Adjustment for the mixture strength is provided by a control on the sqeering column, enabling maximum economy in fuel to be achieved and assuring ease of of starting. Hand adjuament for slow running is also provided.

Electrical Equipment
Ignition is provided by a Lucas coil unit mounted transversely at the forward end of the engine, thus placing the distributor in a particularly accessible position where no difficulty is encountered in carrying out the necessary adjustments. Advance and retard of the timing is controlled by a lever conveniently situated in the centre of the steering wheel. The lighting and starting equipment is of the twelve volt Lucas type, employing a combined dynamo and starter motor (dynamotor). The dynamotor is mounted alongside the gearbox and coupled direct to the power unit by a silent chain of the inverted tooth pattern which is totally enclosed, adequately lubricated, and provided with a simple means of adjuament. Five Lucas lamps are provided, all of which are controlled by a single switch on the dashboard, and an arnmeter on the dash gives clear indication of the dynarnotor output and battery discharge. The headlamps are provided with a dipping mechanism, operated from the steering wheel. The entire electrical equipment is of Lucas manufadture.

Petrol Tank
A seven gallon petrol tank is carried at the rear of the chassis. It has a quick action filler cap and carries an electrical gauge giving indication of its contents on a dial mounted on the instrument paner. An automatic petrol lift provides gravity feed to the carburetter.

Gearbox
The gearbox possesses three forward speeds and a reverse, with direct drive on top and is in unit construction with the engine. The gears are controlled by a centrally disposed lever and are of case hardened nickel chrome steel accurately finished to ensure silence. Gear changing is particularly easy.

Brakes
The foot brake operates internal expanding shoes in 10 in. reinforced pressed, steel drums mounted on all four wheels, by the Lockhead hydraulic system. The brake shoes are lined with the very bea quality friction material, and adequate shields are provided to exclude all dust and dirt. The brakes are fully compensated and maintain their efficiency at all times, since lost motion or loss of leverage due to wear is entirely eliminated. The hand brake is of the manual type and operates shoes in the rear brake drums. The brakes are silent in operation.

Steering
The steering gear is of the Bishop cam type, providing lightness of operation and a high degree of accurate controllability.

Wheels and Tyres
Detachable Magna type wire wheels, equipped with Dunlop cord tyres, are standard equipment.

Tool Kit
The following kit of tools is provided with every car and housed in an accessible position on the dash :-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 tomrny, three double ended spanners, 9 in. Adjusting spanner, 6 in. aeel punch, screwdriver, diaributor spanner, dynarnotor adju!Qing 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 oil can.
