tor to mix with the fuel passes through the combined air
cleaner and flame arrestor mo· unted on the carburetor at the
air intake. Dust, dirt and other foreign material that would
otherwise be taken into the engine is trapped in an oil damp-
ened filter element in the air cleaner. This 'filter element acts
as a flame arrestor in case of engine backfire.

the oil bath type is used on all 2 Ton vehicles. In certain sections
of the country o~ under certain operating conditions where an
unusual amount of dirt is encountered this air cleaner, which
is interchangeable with the regular cleaner, may be had as
special equipment on other truck models or purchased through
parts service. This cleaner will not affect the power or economy
of the engine in any way .

over a pool of oil where most heavy particles of dirt are de-
posited and then up through an oil moistened filter element to
complete the cleaning job.
