Thirty years ago George a. Selden never

forty or nifty miles an hour, OF a racing
machine that would run two miles a min

that would run as fast the second or third
hour as a good horse would the hrst-ten
miles an hour. To fully understand tho
task ne was attacking, II must be remeiu.

period weighed about 5000 pounds per
horsepower, the ny wheel being as heavy
as an ordinary touring car, and that the
Otto engine of few years later weighed
per horsepower about 1900 pounds.
After Mr.. selden gained the basic Idea
Of his engine there followed a year of
thought and experiment. He had many

he felt he had conquered, either by actual
experiment or by theory. all his main
problems. The time had come TO build
the engine.
