High Quality

From its inception Hercules engine has held the foremost position in the Gas Engine industry.  Commencing when the industry was in its infancy, it has been manufactured upon well defined principles.  Those principles have always been closely followed, with the result that our factory has grown to be the largest and best equipped Gas Engine plant in the world, and our line has been firmly intrenched in its commanding position.

This plant in its equipment of fine machinery, fine tools, jigs, fixtures and appliances is not equaled in the gas engine industry.  This equipment includes a large battery of automatic labor saving machines.  Of these, many are capable of turning out from two to ten times the volume of work produced by the ordinary methods - an important factor in making possible the price, and an important factor in making possible the quality.

The system if inspection is so exacting that it practically precludes the possibility of an imperfect part being incorporated in the engine so far as can be detected by the most accurate measuring instruments known to engineering science.  From the time the raw materials reach the warehouse and foundry until they leave the plant in the finished product, they are under the careful scrutiny of a corps of experts trained in accordance with the high standards of organization.   This inspection extends to the smallest pieces, including nuts, bolts, and screws.

This engine has never had embodied in its makeup, features whose value was confined to their use as "talking points."  It finds its sale not especially among purchasers whose limit of investment is the price.   It appeals alike to the discriminating buyer who demands a dollar's worth for every dollar of investment, and to the buyer who places dependability and service above all price consideration.

It is the most sturdy and dependable of all gas engines.   It is an engine of enduring service.  In economy of operation and maintenance there is none that enjoys a favorable comparison with it.  In real and substantial gas engine value it has no equal.
