MOTOR PERFORMS
 UNUSUAL FEAT

That an automobile motor can be made to turn at the almost incredible speed of more than 5000 revolutions per minute has been definitely estab- Hshed by the automobile testing plant of the Worcester Polytechnic Insti- tute. In fact, the motor on which these tests were made did even bet ter than this supposed1y unattainab1e figure. registering 3.31O revolutions and doing it under conditions approx imating as nearly as possible actual duty on the road.
 A Studebaker ''2O' chassis stock sn every respect, was the medium en- ployed by Professor David G. Gallup, under whose direction the tests were made. The motor was scientifically tuned for speed, requirements of fex- ibiIity, quietness and reserve strength being cast aside Prior to the labo- ratory tests this chassis, fitted with a scientific wind-splitting body, register ed over eighty miles an hour on road tests.

It delivered thirty horse at 1900 revolutions, and at the won derful maximum. was showing more than thirty-six, equivalent to a speed of eighty-nine miles an hour. Be- yond the $500 mark. the power curve began to show a drop, the limit hav- fig been reached

 Several amendments to the autorno- bile law of Connecticut have just gone into effect. The amendments seek to insure safety in the operation of mo- tor vehicles and to eliminate unneces- sary noise- Especial attention is paid tO brakes mufflers. and warning sig nals- All cars of more than ten horse power must have at least two power full brakes. The motors of all auto mobiles must be muffled at all times in such g manner that the noise of the exhaust will not constitute a nui- sance to the public" This means the abolition in practice of the muff1er cut-out The amendment relating to warning signals provides that every motor vehicle shall be equipped with a device which shall produce an abrupt sound sufficiently loud to serve as an adequate warning of danger While the use of a powerful signal is thus made compulsory, the law stipu1ates thatA"nO person shall make or cause to be made any unnecessary noise with such a signal, or use the same ex- cept as a warning of danger" Be- fore this amendment was adopted a. bill was introduced making illegal the use of any warning signal except that operated by means of a. rubber bulb the familiar "honk'' horn so long as- sociated with motoring. The com- mittee to which this proposal was re- ferred found, however, that the bulb horn alone was inadequate as a safe ty device.
