ADAPTS STEAM PLANT
FOR FIELD KITCHENS
Inventor DOble Believes II Best
Army Cooking System.

Abne- Doble, inventor of the Doble
steam power plant for motor orIvsn
vehicles, hopes soon to be able to
submit to the War Department a plan
for cooking by steam the rations OF
soldiers in the field and on the
march.
Briefly stated, Mr.. DobIe is work.
ing on a two and a half ton truck
with Doble steam power equipment
and steam Kitchen range attachment
designed as a single, self-propelling
unit.
Although extremely busy preparing
for the production OF his new steam
driven pleasure car, Doble felt he
would like to work on some new
military problems. He turned to the
prosaic, but vital. problem OF feeding
an army, because OF the somewhat
primitive and limited nature of the
cooking equipment now In use for
army field work.
The held ranges now used consist
of a sheet iron boiling plate set up
over a small trench, and on this the
kettles are placed. At the end Of q
trenches must be dug, ranges
set UP, and tired soldiers are obliged
to rustic for wood.
Several reasons lead Doble to be-
lieVe that he can greatly facilitate
the work OF the camp cooks and pro-
mote the comfort and the health OF
the men by an adaptation OF his
steam power plant inventions. The
heat units Of a Doble steam driven
pleasure car are twenty times greater
than the number required to cook
food for $50 men.
One OF the -Isagreeable tasks con-
any camp cook-whether in
he army or elsewhere-is dlshwash-
ng and the difficulty OF getting an
abundance OF hot water. The Dobls
lteam generator will raise the tenn
oerature of twenty-five gallons OF
water from go degrees to the boiling
point in two and one-half minutes
30 other fuel than kerosene is re-
luired for the Doble device. Tie ig-
lition is by electric spark, the COM
oustion Is operated automatic ally.
md there IL no great problem as to
water. as the steam IL used over and
over by the Doble condensing system.
Moreover, the advantages OF a self
propelled kitchen unit for forced
Is apparent.

log Of their trips, showing what dis
lance Of the road was smooth. muddy.
or rocky. and the grade Of the hills.
BY an analysis Of the wear on the
tires and the drivers logs. the testing
department at the factory was able TO
determine Just what improvements were
necessary. II was found that the best
cord material nodded into an oversize
tire gave the most miles per dollar"
Tests Of this type showed a mileage OF
from 5000 TO 1880 miles. varying ac-
cording to the road conditions The
tests also showed that the super-size
cord would also increase the gasolene
mileage because Of its greater resiliency
and hexibility.
