WHAT MAKES

TODAY'S BRONS ENGINE

AS DEPENDABLE

AS YESTERDAY'S?

ITS SIMPLE.

That's the answer: simplicity. The Brons engine started out simple—one cylinder that developed 16 hp at 360 rpm. Today, the Brons TD250 is available with 6, 8, 12 or 16 cylinders and produces up to 4000 hp at 600 rpm.

Powerful, but still a very simple, reliable engine. Keeping it that way was no easy task.

Many manufacturers equate complexity with power. The Brons technical people have spent over 60 years keeping their engine uncom- plicated as they increased its power. This outlook has kept both the Brons and the American Brons engines easy to maintain with a minimum of care.

Another idea that the

Brons people hold to is this: keep the engine eco- nomical to run. They've done just that. The Brons

TD250 squeezes more power from its fuel than the first Brons did back in 1915. That's progress.

But there's more to an engine than power and economy. How about the people who sell it?

Oosterhuis Industries is the sole U.S. distributor for the Brons and American Brons diesels.

Our operating philosophy is as straightforward
