AIR COOLED ENGINES
WORK SUCCESSFULLY
AN IGNORANT PUBLIC BUYING
CARS THEY KNOW MOTH
ING ABOUT

SAGINAW. Mich, July l-Editor
The Automobile--Mr Fraser's inquiry
on page 1911 of The Automobile for
May l3 as to why engineers do not
give simplificati0u Of motor some at
tention, particularly in regard to the
method of cooling, | wish to answer
by saying that successful air-cooled
motors are running and have been
running for many years. The prob
lem is not to make the goods but to
make the public accept them. The
public as yet is extremely ignorant OF
motor engineers problems, and they
buy not what they know personally
to be the bcse, but what they see their
neighbors buying, and SO long as this
is true, the old forms will predOm-
mate, while the improvements have
hard fight The buyer judges by
quantity, which he can see, rather
than buy quality because he cannot
see it. He buys a big car, when
small would serve him better, and the
surprising thing is that the makers
will continue to give the public large
cars which they have instead Of
small. simple, efficient, lightweight
ones that serve them more perfectly
The phenomenal success Of one eX-
ponent of the small lightweight car
surprises many people, but the sur
prise is not that its maker succeeded.
but that several hundred makers Of
other cars sat still and let him take
the business.
Automobile cylinders are kept small
to make starting easy and to permit
using n sufficient number TO secure
smooth running, so there is no occa-
sion to get away from air-cooling;
fan attached to the flywheel will draw
ample air to cool cylinders Of the
sizes used in automobile work, and
there is no excuse for such compica-
tions as pumps and radiators, with
leaby pipes. water to freeze, and
similar troubles. s.-Chas. E. Duryea,
