Nikola Tesla Endorses Jencick Motors

Among the numerous visitors at the recent motor boat show at New York was Mr. Nikola Tesla (possibly the greatest inventor of the age), who, in conversation with Mr. Stephen Jencick, inventor of the now famous Jencick racing marine motors, said to Mr. Jencick as follows:

“I am greatly satisfied to know that in so short a period of years you have brought the marine motor to a scientific and practical point of perfection; you, surely deserve credit for the great service you have rendered the marine world. Your motor has reached that point of perfection which all builders of motors have attempted to reach, and must therefore be the pattern to be adopted in the future.”

The Jencick Mfg. Co., Port Chester, N. Y., manufacturers of these motors, at the close of the show reported many sales of their popular six-cylinder type 206 h.p. racing model. A prominent feature of this engine is the hand-made crank shaft, turned from a solid slab of steel, which idea is quite without precedent in the construction of marine motors.
