RELATIONS OF CURRENT, Pressure,
RESISTANCE|N SYSTEM EXPLAINED

pressure between the two points, and
so far as the operation of the circuit
is concerned they may be connected
together. The reason for there being
10 difference in pressure between the
Joints A and B is as follows: The
same part of the total pressure is used
in operating each OF the lamps, since
they are supposed to have the same
resistance, and, since the pressure
produced by each OF the batteries is
the same, we can think of one of the
batteries as producing the current in
one of the lamps and the other bat.
terry as producing the current in the
other lamp.
II the lamps were OF unequal re-
sistance in Figures 10 and II and the
pressures produced by the batteries
we're the same, there would be a diff
ference In pressure between the points
A and b: or. il the resistance of the
lamps we're the same and the pres
sures produced by the batteries were
equal. there would be a difference in
pressure between the points A and B.
II, however, the resistance of the
lamps is equal and the pressures pro-
duced by the batteries are UNEQUAL,
but the relation between the resist
ance is the same as the relation be-
tween the pressures produced by the
batteries, then there win be zero pres
sure between the points A and B, IL
these points are so chosen that the
lamp of higher resistance is in circuit
with the battery Of higher pressure
between the two points. / :

Part Of the pressure produced by a
pump when it is causing the water to
flow through a water circuit is used

pump which results in part of the

above manner may be called the inter-
hal resistance of the pump. The great

SEES EARLY use
OF KEROSENE AS
FUELFCR MOTOR
Automobile Magazine Believes
Days of Gasoline as Motor
CombuStibIe Numbered

The widespread efforts to perfect de-
vices which will make the use of kero-
seEe as automobile fuel practicable
are responsible for the following edi-
torial in The Automobile:
The stimulus given to the use of
kerosene in internal combustion en-
glnes on both sides of the Atlantic
simultaneously cannot fail TO have a
great effect on the automobile indus
try. The rising price of gasoline in
America has made il almost impossi-
BILE to operate "a tractor on the light
er fuel; many trucks are now run
ming on kerosene, and devices are APP
pearing which will function well in
passenger car service.
in England government control Of
gasoline has almost shut on supply
from passenger ear users and has re
stricted the commercial vehicle sup
ply greatly, so that man must burn
kerosene in his engine or allow his
machine to lie idle. The inventive
genius of two great engineering ma
tons is thus concentrated on the
one problem.
1T is not an easy problem in many
ways, but it is no harder than many
others that have been solved. and
there is reason to feel confident that
the days Of gasoline are numbered;
at least for gasoline as the common
est automobile fuel. So many inven-
tors are 50 near the kerosene carbur-
eter that will do everything that can
be done with gasoline that perfec-
tion cannot be far of. A little merg-
ing of patent interests, a little give
and take between the inventors and
&. little really sympathetic interest on
the part of motor car manufacturers
are needed. Given these three things
and the problem is solved.
IF the matter is not tackled prompt
iy and squarely the European indus
tries will steal another march on the
American trade"

greater than the pressure produced by
that particular battery, which results
in part of pressure produced by
some other battery of lower internal
resistance being used to cause the
electricity to flow through the battery
of higher internal resistance =,
This state of affairs may exist in a
circuit composed of a number of dry
cells connected in series. The pres
sure produced by each of the dry cells
may be the sane when measured by
means of goltmeter, and there is no
current through them except that re-
qIiired to operate the voltmeter. If a
current be taken from each of the
cells 1t will be observed that there is
a decrease in the voltmeter reading,
due to a part of the total pressure
being used within the cell. The inter-
nal resistance OF some of the cells
may be such that it will be impossible
to get a very large current from the
cells even if their terminals be con-
nected directly to the ammeter. A
call of highailternal resistance may
do more harm Ia circuit than it does
good

COMPRESSED AIR
AUTO STARTER IS
MADE in DENVER
Henry Goeddertz is Inventor of
Device Operated BY a
Single Stroke

Henry GoeddertZ. chief engineer OF
the Masonic Temple, Denver, is the
inventor OF an automobile engine
starter operated by compressed air.
Il is a single stroke, single-acting air
COMPRISING device, supplied from a
small storage tank under the machine,
with an air valve for pumping up tires.
The entire device weighs only fifty
pounds, according to Goeddertz, and
is capable Of supplying $50 pounds
pressure that can be pumped up in
fifteen minutes and that is sufficient
for twenty starts.
The compressor OF the device is OPP
Grated directly from the automobile
engine. Goeddertz declares Il is fool
proof, much simpler than the electric
starters and much more economical
TO operate He declares back-firing

function Of the machine.
The mechanism not only starts the
automobile engine by the compressed
cir obtained from its reservoir, but 1t
also serves to supply air under pres

replenishment is required Tie cy-

CEDAR POINT IS
Scene OF GREAT
CAR CONFERENCE
More Than $50 Managers of
Federal Motor Truck Com
pany Gather at Banquet

Cedar Point. o., was the scene last
week OF one OF the most successful
sales conferences ever held by the
Federal Motor Truck Company Of De-
troit. D..
One hundred and fifty district man.
ayers and dealers from every state in
the Union assembled in Detroit on
Wednesday, where they took a steam
er. chartered for the purpose, to Cedar
Point, arriving about O'Clock that
evening. ...,.- .,......... ,.
Addresses and discussions by execu-
tives and statesmen occupied the
morning and afternoon business ses-
sions, held in the large convention
hall Traffic research, sales promo
ton and advertising were the prin-
cipal topics. .....r
New 1917 models of Federals were
on display and we're the center of IL
teIest, after their arrival on Friday.
The enthusiasm with which these
models we're received is evidenced by
the fact that for one Of the new models
alone the dealers placed definite or.
ders with Director OF Sales j. F. Bow
man amounting to over one million
dollars
A banquet on Friday evening was
the closing feature OF the conference.
This was held in the grillroom at the
Breakers. The speakers of the even
ing were Chief Pit of the fire depart
ment of Middletown, Conn, who came
from New England to tell the Federal
dealers how Federal had saved his
city $500 per year. The other
speakers was F. st. Elmo Lewis of
Detroit. who told the dealers that the
best statesmen were the men who
could dominate the situation with 3
prospect. He said: "You have got to
know enough about the business of a
store or firm to get the authority to
tell them how to apply your product,
motor trucks. to his or their problem "
M. L. Pulcher, yiee-president and
general manager of the Federal Motor
Truck Company, conducted the con
yention and in one of his talks to the
men said.
-The Federal Motor Truck Company
is Just. concluding the most successful
year in it's history. Production has
jumped way beyond our estimates and
sales have kept pace with the produc-
lions. New buildings have been
necessary until the Federal now oc-
cupies acres where five years ago the
space was feet
Further expansion is necessary and
new buildings will be started in the
spring 20 take care OF the increased
output, which will be speeded up TO
fill the orders which you have placed
"Over so per cent of this years
sales have been from repeat orders.
and that is record Of which the Fed.
eral Company has right to feel
proud"

For example. when the pressure re.
quired to cause the electricity to flow
through tie internal resistance is
greater than he pressure the cell Is
producing, the cell is a hindrance
rather than an aid to the operation of
the circuit. All of the cells may help
in producing the current when the
value Of the current is small, but with
an increase in current some of the
cells may prove to be worthless or a
hindrance to the operation of the cir
cult ..* ..-> H..
The above discussion leads to the
conclusion that the condition OF cell
cannot be determined by measuring
its pressure alone, but the ability of
the cell to deliver current or the. de-
crease in pressure between its termin-
ais with an increase in current must
be determined. A more detailed dis
cussion of the internal resistance of
cell will be given in the section on
batteries.
