Expensive Equipment
For Testing HupmObiIes

In line with the policy of maintain
ing only the best equipment for pro-
ducing Hupmobiles, the Hupp Motor
Car Company has recently made a
large addition to their factory in the
form of a dynamometer test depart
ment.
THE dynamometer test" said Mr..
5. III. Humphrey, Manufacturing Man
ager,-'Is a mechanical apparatus
used for testing automobiles under all
conditions of road work Formerly
our method of testing, as is the prac-
tice in most motor companies, was to
turn the chassis over to a tester" to
drive it around in any shape or man
ner that he sees fit. Now in a test
of this kind, where the car is turned
over to mechanic, the personal ele-
ment of the driver enters very
strongly into the results obtained.
For instance, certain car that one
mechanic may say is in perfect shape,
might be turned down by another
man. You can plainly see where mat

with the dynamometer, the exact
opposite is the case. Each motor and
chassis is tested under the eye of an
expert. Electric charts on the dyna-
mometer switch board accurately
show the exact conditions under
which a car is working. At the will
of the operator. the machine can be
taken off a smooth asphalt road, and
made to run under the worst sort of
sand and mud road conditions: or the
car can be made to climb a hill. In

Original OldsmObile in
Smithsonian Institution

Probably the best known historic
object connected with the automobile
industry, the original model Oldsmo-
bile which was constructed several
years before the earliest types of
motor carriages made their appear
ance, has been presented by the Olds
Motor Works to the Smithsonian In
stitution and was relinquished to the
National Museum in January.
This car is commonly looked upon
as being the grandsire of the motor
car business. 1t was designed and
built. or laboriously hammered and
moulded out of metals in Lansing,
Michigan in 1894 and 1895. About
the aged relic is woven the romance
of more than quarter or a century
of struggles tragedies and successes
which marked the formative period
of this great industry. Plans laid as
far back as 1885 for building the We
hicle, which originally was to have
been propelled by steam. but did not
and experience during this lapse of
time proved to the builders the eff
cheney of the gasoline motor.
Among those who helped to build
the ancient car are workmen who are
employed in the Oldsmobile factories
and they tell many interesting stories
of the adverse conditions which We're
met, and because of which two years
were required to bring it to a state of
completion. Several years were
spent in testing it during which it
was often espied on the roadways and
became a familiar sight to most of
the inhabitants of Southern Michigan.
Subsequently it served as a working
model for the first curved dash Olds-
mobile runabout.
1t has travelled by railroad to differ
ent parts of the country to be eXhib-
| tied at automobile shows, fairs and
eXpositions, and always has been
| faithfully kept in a sound state by the
original makers because of its historic
value. 1T is cherished by the resi-
dents of Lansing. Michigan, because

Valves on Buick Have
Been Greatly Improved

The Rich tungsten valve, which has
been adopted for the 1915 Buick mo-
tors, is made of an alloy of tungsten
and steel, commonly spoken of as
tungsten steel. This alloy is the typical
example of the "high speed steels''
now widely used in rapid metal cut
ting operations and its remarkable
qualities are the basis of it's special
adoption to use in the poppet valves
of internal combustion motors.
The most marked characteristic of
tungsten steel Is the fact that when it
is red hot its strength or stiffness to
resist reformation or bending is not
materially altered over that which it
has in its cold state. This is readily
illustrated by the fact that a lathe tool
of tungsten steel used in such work as
taking heavy cuts from large, touch
steel forgings, such as naval guns, or
similar articles, attains a temperature
which brings the tool to bright red
color at the cutting edge, due to the
friction generated by the rapid re-
moval of the metal. and yet at this
temperature the tool retains it's stiff
ness and sharp cutting edge for long

MAXWELL RACERS
WIN GREAT VICTORY
Barney Oldfield and Billy Carlson
Win First and Second at Venice
Grand Prix Race

Before a mammoth crowd at the
| greatest race of the season the Venice
Grand PriN. the western classic race
that takes the place of the old Santa
Monica, the Maxwell cars of Barney
Oldheld and Billy Carlson created a
new precedent in American automo-
bile racing by winning first and Sec
ond places.
In this, one of the most remarkable
speed contests seen in recent racing
events, with over a score of the best
American and foreign cars, entered,
and with five of the worlds most dar-
ing pilots in line to win until the last
mile, Barney Oldfeld Worlds Mas
ter Driver" in a speedy Maxwell racer
won first place, and made the hard
grind of over 800 miles without a sin
gle stop, or change of gears, at an
average speed of 6S1a miles per hour.
Time: 4 hours, "a minutes, 90 sec
onds.
Sure Finish Billy Carlson, team
mate of Oldfield, drove his Maxwell
winning second place and with but
one short stop of Z seconds to his
credit. His time was hours, "a
minutes 4S.3 seconds.
Ruckstell in Mercer won third bacs
with time of hours, q minutes, 81
seconds and John Marquis in a Bug
getti finished fourth.
Oldficld's Second Nonstop
The time made by Oldfeid and
Carlson was 10 miles an hour faster
than the Grand Prize and nearly .
miles faster than that of the Wander
bilt. For the second time in a few
months, Oldfield established a non
stop record, equalling his perform
ance with the Maxwell at Carona,
Thanksgiving Day. when he drove 800
miles without a single stop and made
a new worlds nonstop record.
Carlson, the second pilot on the
Maxwell team, crossed the line less
than half u minute behind Oldfieftl.
But for his short stop for oil he might
have added the fourth 900 mile non
stop record to the long list of Max
we'll achievements. AT San Diego
but a few weeks ago he drove his car
sos miles without a stop and won sec
ond place.
This latest victory was as much a
tribute to Maxwell consistency and
efficiency as to the Maxwell speed,
and spoke volumes for superior con-
struction as we'll as wonderful driv-
ing.

this dynamometer test, we get an ac-
curate reading of the actual horse
power that each motor develops, and
every car that is turned out must abb
solutely be up to a given standard,
which is impossible to obtain under
any other method.
"Other very important reasons why
the dynamometer is more efficient and
accurate than the former methods OF
testing, are the facts that the new
apparatus relieves the company of the
reliability of having testers on the
streets; we know that the machines
are being actually tested, and we
know that the mechanical test is ac-
curate to a degree which would be
impossible under the hands of a me-
chanic.

pany over S75,000.00, and it is similal
to that which is used by manufactur.

BUILDING A MOTOR
INTRICATE PROCESS
Designer Must Ever Keep in His
Minds Eye the Picture of
Finished Product

4 Motor car building is peculiar in
one way" states Elwood Haynes in
venter and builder of Americas First
Car and president of The Haynes Au-
tomobile Company, Kokomo, Indiana.
While it is necessary to start with
practically nothing and build up fin
ished car, there must always rest be-
fore the eye of the inventor and
builder a picture of just exactly re-
verse conditions. He must see first
the finished car in the hands of an
owner; he must see that owner start
ing his car-driving it-caring for it;
and he must be guided by that mental
picture in the selection and specifica-
ton of his car in order that the owner
may drive it with the greatest pos
sible comfort and convenience and
at the same time receive a sincere and
faithful service from its performance.
In the design of the car every
part and unit of the construction
must be carefully and painstakingly
thought out. The motto of the en-
eineering department should be, DO
the experimenting on paper abso-
lutely nothing should be built until
it has been carefully calculated and
laid out to scale on paper.
First, the motor is drawn up on
n rough layout drawing, then with
this preliminary drawing as guide
the cylinders crankcase and other i'm
portant parts are next drawn in de-
tail. Even the most minute parts,
such as a lock washer or bolt must
be drawn up on individual sheets in
order that clear record may be kept
not only for the purchasing depart

repair business for years to come to
insure efficient service
When every detail has been care
fully designed the motor is redrawn
i with all fittings and accessories at
Itached. In this manner It is possible
to foresee any interference or con-
structional difficulty. for as a matter
of fact, the skilled craftsman can see
the finished motor on the drawing be-
fore him.
With the motor drawings COM
pleted, the next problem is to design
the frame and other chassis parts.
The chassis design must be harmon
ious with the design of the power
plant; the motor must be suspended
in such a manner as to relieve it
from all road shocks in order that it
may at all times deliver all its power
TO the rear wheels, The car as a
whole must be well balanced. in order
that skidding and the resultant wear
on tires may be reduced to mini
mum. The design must be based
throughout on sound engineering
principles, and vet at the same time
every part and unit should be care
fully considered from the standpoint
on the owner making the car particu-
larly well suited to those who prefer
TO care for their own machine"

in one piece, and never welded.
If valves can be run for long periods
without grinding, the surface of the

grinding is necessary, and one no
sooner gets q suitable surface as far
as hardness and denseness is con-
cerned than it has to be removed by
grinding because of valve leakages.
With tungsten valves a surface is OBJ

long periods.

periods.
In using valves made of ordinary
material with electric welded stems
or of cast iron heads on steel stems
failure of the steam just under the
head often occurs. due to the welding
having been overheated in welding or
in fusing the cast iron onto the steel.
This does not occur in Rich tungsten

CITY DELIVERY.

1t is up to the citizens Of Mary
vile to determine whether city
mail delivery shall be established
here by the government. Last
week postoffice inspector visit
ed Maryville and in company
with Postmaster James M. Gates
made a tour Of the town. After
visiting various sections of Ma
ryville, he said hat it was neces-
sary that all houses be numbered
and the streets marked before
city delivery is established.
Many citizens have complied
with the rekuest that the houses
be numbered. However many
have not. Citizens are urged to
place numbers on their homes at
once, so that this service can be
given us this summer. If you do
not know the number of your
house, visit the city recorder and
he can give it to you.
The streets should also be
marked, and it is hoped this will
be done at once.
When Maryville gets it's new
water plant, and city delivery is
established, this will be a full
fledged city, and will not have a
superior in the state.
