HOW PACKARD PUTS
HEAT IN THE GAS
Tale of the Thermostat is Story
of Science Of the Automo-
bile Engineers.
SHORTEN THE INTAKE

The present grade OF motor gaso-
line and the old methods OF carbure-
ton do not work we'll together.
The engineering problem, stated
simply is to heat the gas which comes
from the carburetor to the cylinder
heads. Now, contrary to general I'M
preston, gasoline is not a good con-
ductor of heat Just because in GER
tain circumstances gasoline departs
this earth with a bang most OF US
have got the idea that it is quickly
affected by heat. But that's surface
conclusion. The fact is, it is rather
difficult to heat the tiny globues of
gas that are sprayed out from the
carburetor jet
One Trick.
In the new twin siX-engine Pack
ard engineers have handled this prob
lem with much success. They have
shortened the gas intake passages so
the gas coming from the carburetor
has less distance to travel-and dis
lance always means cooling influence,
: unless otherwise provided against.
The hot water that is being expelled
from the cylinder jacket is put to
warming the gas as it comes from the
carburetor to cylinder head.
The water that is poured into the
radiator top is circulated around and
among the cylinders to cool them. In
its contact with the fast-working cyl
inders it absorbs heat from them and
itself becomes stream of hot water
Then it is carried out to the radia-
tor and there cooled for its return
trip to the cylinders. On its journey
back to the radiator it is at maximum
heat just as it comes off the cylinders
While it is at this maximum heat il
surrounds the gas intake pipe, and the
incoming gas gets the benefit of nice
warm jacket.
The Thermostat.
A little instrument called the Their
mostat, situated at the radiator inlet
diverts the water through a bypass
until it reaches the required teihpera'
ture-then automatically allows it to
pass through the radiator. The loca,
ton of the thermostat at the outlet
OF the motor circulation system makes
it possible to control definitely the
temperature of the circulating water
The Transforming of the gas intake
into short, hot conduit, with separate
passages leading to front and rear
> cylinders, is the Packard answer tc
the gas-heating problem. And, Of
course, it is the more marked in its
results because of the nature of the
w-gravity gasoline.

The Omaha Automobile Show as

Omaha Automobile Trade association,
Its scope is to be enlarged, in the
matter Of its activities and in the mat

This was decided upon at special
meeting Friday when the articles OF
incorporation were changed. The
amended articles are to be filed the
coming week
Under the new order all auto sup
ply, accessory and service men are to
be included in the membership. The
association is to take an active part
in good roads movements, and in all
movements that affect the automobile
industry.

Regal Plant Not Sold,
As Was Reported,
Says the President

Notice has appeared in the automo-
bile trade papers to the effect that
the Fisher Body corporation of De-
troit has purchased the factory OF
the Regal Motor Car company.
This is an error" says Mr.. Haines.
president of the company.
The changes in our plant that gave
foundation to this story have been
made for one reason only-to increase
efficiency and better our production.
Those who know the Regal plant rea-
lie that it is pretty we'll scattered

As we have now reduced the mum.

we have greatly increased the eff
cheney of OUR manufacturing system,

Of our buildings, and for some time
past we have leased one of our build
ings to the Fisher Body company. As
we could not sec that we would need
this building for long time to come,
we recently sold this one building to
the Fisher Body company, and this is
the foundation of the erroneous re-
port published about the sale of the
Regal plant.
"The Regal plant, as it stands to-
day, covers nine acres of floor space
Our production this year will be be-
tween $500 and 10000 cars. We have
this year a much more efficient or
ganization and plant, and what is the
best Regal car we ever made--a car
that is acknowledged to be the best
in its class.

are now in process of carrying out

going to recognize that the 1917

Detroit Electric
Opens in Omaha

Announcement has been made OF
the opening in Omaha of a branch Of
the Detroit Electric company. The
branch will be located in the Black
stone garage, under the management
of E. M. Baton.
Mr.. Baton comes to Omaha from
the Kansas City branch of the De-
troit Electric company, and seems
quite enthusiastic regarding the Oma-
ha field. Kansas City has been gar
den spot for the electric car men, and
Baton says Omaha looks just as
good to him.
The Detroit people are making an
electric car which will sell for $2,l75
This price is accomplished by the
manufacture Of standard model. In
most cases the electric car has been
designed to meet the individual
tastes, allowing very wide range OF
selection in body designs and interior
finish.
