The Betsy (1978)—develop a safe, fuel-efficient car.
Within the Hardman family that runs the Bethlehem Motors auto empire, Angelo Perino (Tommy Lee Jones) is an outsider. But that won’t stop him from bringing on line an innovative new car – The Betsy – and making his presence known from the boardroom to the bedroom (1978). Director: Daniel Petrie Writers: Harold Robbins (novel), William Bast, Release Date: 9 February 1978 (USA) The patriarch of a family-owned corporation hires a young race car driver to help him design a fuel efficient car in secrecy. They face resistance from the president of the company (the patriarch’s grandson), who wishes to eliminate the motor car division because of bad blood between himself and his grandfather. During flashbacks, a parallel set of problems is revealed in the family’s past, problems that persist into the present, and the race car driver gets deeper into the web of deception and corporate intrigue.

Powerful Inverter System Delivers Cleaner Electricity
The EF1000iS is built around an innovative inverter system, which is able to deliver higher-quality, cleaner electricity than competing generators. It produces energy in the form of pure sine waves, which are cleaner and more reliable than most commercial power sources.
In simpler terms, this means that you’ll be able to confidently power delicate machinery without having to worry about the damage caused by unrefined energy.
Smart Technologies for Optimal Fuel Efficiency
The EF1000iS is exceptionally fuel efficient, able to run for up to 12 hours without refueling when in Economy mode. With its Smart Throttle Load feature, the generator is able to dynamically adjust engine speed depending on output, resulting in greater overall fuel efficiency. The generator also features an exclusive dual coil alternator stator, which lowers engine speed and reduces total fuel consumption.
Ergonomic, User-Friendly Design
At only 27.6 pounds, this generator is also ultra-portable and features an easy-to-carry design. It has a convenient, centralized control panel, which allows you to easily access all of the generator’s features at the push of a button. For added convenience, the EF1000iS is even able to recharge 12-volt batteries with its 12-volt DC output, making it ideal for RV, auto, and boat owners.
Noise Reduction for Quiet Operation
The EF1000iS uses noise reduction technologies to ensure the quietest operation possible. Featuring a special sound-blocking design, the generator has a noise-absorbing glass wool construction, which helps dampen noise even during heavy operation. Along with the EF1000iS’ super-quiet muffler, it helps keep noise to a minimum.
The EF1000iS is backed by a two-year warranty.
