KING 5 PASSES THE
GOVERNMENT TEST
Major Evans Tells of the Many
Things the Car Ac-
cOmplished.

Thousands of men in this country to-
day are interested in passing the Gov
ernment test for physical fitness. At the
same time the automobile Is passing be-
fore the searching eyes OF army experts
In a different kind OF test to determine
its usefulness in army operations.
A regular King s standard chassis
carrying an armored body recently went
through the big test before being ac-
cepted by the Marine Corps. Major
Frank z. Evans tells Interestingly OF the
things the King was compelled to do
before it passed muster for army ser
vice. He says:
Among the tests to which the car
was subjected was climbing a short IS
per cent. grade over a rough cobble-
stoned surface with a full complement
in its crew, and over a winding military
road. The pilot Of the car drove It up q
sandhill leading to the same point over
such obstacles as sunken boulders and
holes with success. and then came a
more gruelling test over the terrain OF
the Black Ravine, where army trucks
had invariably come to grief At the
bottom of this ravine the car success
fully negotiated a water filled ditch at
ter a drop of four and one-half feet and
climbed up to the crest of the opposite
bank In the speed test on the plain the
car registered a speed OF forty-five miles
an hour.
Following this hest the car was
turned over to Capt. Ellis and Williams
for the trip overland to League Island
Navy Yard. For a period OF ten days
the full board subjected the car to ex-
haustive tests, always with its suitabil-
ity for rough expeditionary work in the
foreground. The final report OF the
board testified to its entire fitness for
the work in view The operation of the
motor was pronounced perfect, and, with
the exception OF minor changes in its de-
tails, the board reported to the Major
General Commandant that the car was
suitable for any service that the corps
might require OF It.
To find its adaptability for transpor-
tation both by vessel and by boat the
car was hoisted into a 40 foot motor
sailing launch and lowered on to q
inch by IL inch Joists placed fore and
art across the thwarts. The boat was
then beached. stern foremost, and the ca r
was run ashore on runway of planks
1t was found that this operation could
be further perfected by the attachment
OF hooks to the portable bridge by
The sun., 1917-07-01

which II was transferred ashore, the
hooks to rest on the boats stern and
the bridges to be made OF trussed steel
rather than wood. These reinforced
bridges can also be made use OF In the
field to get the car over bitches that
1t cannot otherwise negotiate by Its own
power. On the car these trussed steel
bridges, two in number, are to be at
tached by brackets to each eide OF the
corner so that they will answer as
tenders. and a small steel seat will be
fitted on each rear end. They will be
~ inches wide and 12 feet over all, ac-
cording to the specifications imposed, and
capable of sustaining 5000 pounds. the
weight of the car exclusive of per-
sonnel and ammunition being designated
not to exceed 5000 pounds. When the
hooks of these bridges are placed over
the stern OF a launch they will clamp
over II, being secured to the bridge
ends in such a manner as to be easily
dismountable.
The car can also be transported lahore
In a s6 foot sailing launch. In rough
weather the car will DO lowered to the
bottom Of the boat to secure better
gravity, and shear legs ana a multiple
block will bring It up to the level OF the
runway. The car was easily lowered
inch manila hawser. 81 feet long, pass
ing under the axles and fastened to a
hook over the car. The advisability of
using wire sling was considered, as
the breaking strain OF the 6 inch cir
cumference hawser, 10000 pounds. is
slightly. less than the breaking strain
Of three quarter inch crucible cast
steel hoisting line OF the six strands,
nineteen wires to a strand, or the five
eighths inch line of the higher plough
steel construction. The manila sling was
specified as being standard advance base
material that Is always available whore
crane powerful enough to lift the
car might not be obtainable. The sling
Is not slowed In the car, but II carries
steel towing cable 80 feet long which
Is capable of towing a 5000 pound
car over rough roads and hills, and in
addition q conventional 40 foot steel
cable Pull-U-Out for troublesome bitches
In the tipping test 1t was found that
the car as designed could be so lifted
by a crane that the two outer wheels
were at a height OF 80 inches Off the
ground before II lost it's balance, and
the tipping angle reached was Ss degrees.

EFFECT OF WATER ON ENGINE.
Expert Explains How Perfect Com
bustion Il Obtained.

It Is wen known fact that a motor
VIII run better and smoother on a damn
day or In the evening than It does on a
hot or dry day. 1t will do this also at
the seashore as compared with higher
attitudes and is due to the division Of air
changes. The damper the air the more
combustible It Is. Ordinary air is COM
posed OF 23 per cent. oxygen and n Der
cent. nitrogen. It Is only the oxygen
part OF this air that helps make com
bustion- On a damp day, at the sea
shore or in the evening the oxygen Is
increased and combustion becomes more
perfect
The effect of water on a gasolene en-
gine has caused considerable debates.
On this point Mr.. Shawvan of the Esta
Water Auxiliator Company says:
1T is more or less difficult to explain
the working of a water device on an
automobile engine, because most people
cannot help but picture In their minds
that the water itself Is actually used In
side he motor The actual taking of
water into the combustion chamber or
cylinder Is not what takes place, es-
pecially in the device which we con-
struct. We merely pass air through a
body OF water and then allow this air
to be taken into the combustion cham.
bers the same as the air is taken
through the regular air passage OF the
carDurotor."
The beneficial results which are at
tained by using this water auxiliator are
accomplished mainly because the air Is
changed into a different division chemi-
caliy and It Is after this air has been
changed that II has the ability to burn
out the gases and other matter which
heretofore were wasted and became car
bon deposits. A test certified by the
Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, showed the
elimination of carbon, 25 per cent. fuel
economy, and material increase in
apeed and horse power.
The Esta Water AuxilIator Company,
which Is manufacturing a water device
has opened offices In the Circle Build
ing, 1893 Broadway. Mr.. Shawvan who
has reorganized the company, Is very
we'll known In the automobile industry
both East and West, having been for
nierly connected with the Packard Motor
Car Company the Locomobile Company
and recently with the Hudson Motor Car
Company.
