Of the really big accomplishments of

about through the cooperation of

IN the war emergency, working with

Probably the war has produced no
greater single achievement.
zone of the first problems which
confronted the War Department and
the aircraft production board after
the declaration of hostilities was to
produce quickly dependable avia-
ton motor. Two courses were open.
One was to encourage manufacturers
TO develop their own types; the other
TO bring the best of all types to-
gether and develop a standard.
Standard Motor the Objective
THE necessity for speed and guam
tity of production resulted in a
choice of the latter course, and a
standard motor became our engineer
ing objective.
Two of the best engineers in the
country, who had never before seen
each other, were brought together at
Washington and the problem of pro-
ducing an all-American engine at the
earliest possible moment was pre-
sented to them. Their first confer
ence, on June 8, lasted from after
noon until 2:30 o'clock in the
morning.
These two engineers were figura-
lively locked in room in a Wash
ngton hotel and charged with the de-
use by American aviators over the
battle fields of Europe. For five
days neither man left the suite of
rooms engaged for them. Consult
ing engineers and craftsmen from
various sections of the country were
brought to Washington to assist
them. The work in the drafting
room proceeded continuously, day
and night. Each of the two engin-
GERS in immediate charge of motor
Development alternately worked a
24-hour shift

Question of Rapair simplified

This will make the question OF
repairs back of the lines a compare
lively simple matter. The parts OF
wrecked eight-cylinder or 12-cylinder
engines will be interchangeable, and
new engine may be assembled from
the parts of wrecked machines.
THE Standardization of the new
engine does not mean there will be
no change in it during the war
There will be continuous expert
mentation as new types and improve
ments develop at the front and new
ideas are born of the war emergency.
If the engine can be improved, 1t Will
be improved but as the motor stands
