Packard Engineers
Make Speed Trials
Company Maintains Its Own Ex-
perimental Garages at the
Speedways.
By ]. G. VINCENT.

Packard Motor Car Company.
The DEVELOPMENT OF the new type
Packard twin six engine. with its fit
ness for sustained speed. has furnished
substantial reasons for demonstrations
under racing conditions. That is why
Packard engineers have been engaged
repeatedly In speed trials on the speed
ways at Indianapolis. Chicago, and
Sheepshead Bay.
We are maintaining our own expert
mental garages at these tracks, and we
believe the speedways have rendered a
distinct service to the art In providing
facilities for such research work. Mo-
where except on a speedway IL II pos
sible To subject car to the rigorous
test Of continuous running at a speed
approximately 100 miles an hour.
II was merely coincidence that we
perfected our twin six engine at about
or shortly before the time that this type
abroad as the most efficient power
plant for aircraft. II is well known that
our engine Is the product OF original
research and invention.
Engineering Done Thoroughly.
We can establish the fact that ou-
factory was all fooled up for the manu-
AuShuit VI tHib iuOucl lne titIlc We
purchased the original Sunbeam twelve.
This car was torn down and thoroughly
examined in our experimental shops.
but the examination served only to reas-
sure us as to the worth OF our design.
We have designed two separate and
distinct six motors for aircraft. one
Of maximum capacity for load carriers
and a mucn smaller engine for scout
work and private use. As 1t happens,
this smaller engine has total piston
displacement OF about 300 cubic inches.
For convenience In proving out iti
durability, l am placing some of these
motors In racing type chasses with the
intention OF driving them at high speed
for lone periods of time.
This method of testing aircraft motors
AZ the same as that used by the Mercedes
| Company a few years ago, when the,
constructed several racing cars arounC
their experimental aircraft motors anC
