Liberty Motor Mystery No,U D;spe1]ed

fully. At one of its first altitude tests
, in a plane the American record for
altitude was smashed. Not until Sep
tenher was the order to proceed with
the manufacture of the Liberty motor
definitely given, and Immediately work
was started in the Packard plant.
Production OF the Liberty motor Is
now proceeding at very satisfactory
pace More motors are being pro-
duccd than there are planes to carry
them When the writer visited the
Packard plant several weeks ago they
were being turned out at the rate OF
fifteen per dav and it was hoped that
inside of two months a production OF
fifty day would be attained No ex-
pense was being spared TO reach TINS
rate.
"In the Ford plant manufacture OF
the Liberty motor was just about 10
start with a program Of 100 complete
engines per day when the plant is In
full operation. Here. as in the Packard
plant. the standard equipment OF the
machine shop was being overhauleo
and reorSanized for work on the Lib
.erty motor. This was being done at
the expense of the regular commercial
motor In several other plants WORK
has either begun on the Liberty motor
or is Just beginning and certainly by
the middle of the summer the Liberty
motor ought to be produced in very
large quantities. The only thing that
is retarding the airplane program now
is the manufacture OF planes TO carry
the motors.
The efficiency of the Liberty motor
is not TO be questioned by any one who
has examined it thoroughly. 1t is far
more powerful than any other air
plane engine ever produced on
quantity production basis. 1t exceeds
in power all but few experimental!
machines. Altho rated at 400 horse
power it has shown on tests as high
as $50. and its weight is $50 pounds.
1T is mistake TO assume that any
one motor is adapted TO all classes OF
airplane service. There is no single
motor abroad which is of such uniVer-
sal utility 1t is one Of the most power
full airplane motors in the world. anc
the lishtest for its power. 1t is ideal
for bombing purposes. for mere we
have large airplanes of great carrying
capacity that must travel olng dis
tances at high speed. The Liberty
motor should also be available for
ilgnting machines OF the Larger types.
We are making a great many motors
of other types for our, training ma
chimes and for our lighter fighting ma
chimes. Altogether, the airplane stu
alton is fast approaching a very salts
factory basis, and before the end o.
the year it should play an important
part in the great struggle on the other
eide NJ the water"

When the dramatic announcement
Baker that new motor the Liberty,
had been developed by two American
engineers in a five day conference be-
hind locked doors. everyone was eN-
trenely skeptical. IL was thought an
impossibility TO design so highly refined
a machine as an airpIane motor in such
a brief time. II was assumed. there
fore. that the new motor was prob
ably standard type in which few
notifications had been introduced, and
speculation was rife as to what par
ticular standard motor had been
ADOPTED.
The mystery which surrounded the
Liberty motor from its inception has
been dispelled in an article in the
Scientific American of June /. entitled
The True story of the Liberty Motor
In it's account of the motors develop
ment the Scientific American says:
shortly after the outbreak of the
great European war, Henry Joy. then
president of the Packard Motor Car
Company became impressed with the
Importance of the airplane in modern
warfare. He felt that the United States
would become involved; and looking
about among our motor manufacturers
he realized how poorly prepared we
were to produce the motive power for
aerial warfare. There was no ques-
ton that Europe was far ahead of us
and he realized how long it would take
TO develop the manufacture of a first
class motor in this country. Therefore
he urged his company TO proceed at
once with the development of an air
plane lhotor which would compare ia
rorably with the very best produced IN
Europe This was in the fall OF 1914.
I'm the spring of 1915 work was
started on such a motor and the de-
sign was completed in November of
that year. The engine was ready for
block test in February of 1915. AS there
were no facilities for testing airplane
engines by actual flights. the motor was
placed in a racing chassis and was sub
iected TO severe tests at the Sheepshead
Bay Speedway The engine was OF 299
cubic inches displacement. It was of
the twelve-cylinder W type, with cast
iron cylinders.
After it had been thoroughly tested
out a second model was designed, based
on the same principles. This was OF
much larger design. ~;:h hy cylin-
ders and of 905 cubic-inch piston dis
placement The new motor was pro-
vided with an airplane propeller and
mounted on truck. The air-propelled
truck travelled about the streets OF De-
troit faster than any man would care
to drive il. In one test the wheels
were locked and yet the truck was
pushed over snow-covered ground.

JAPAn.s SUPPLIES or IRON.
Difficulties in the Way Of Securing
the Metal.


Toxic. June nding the
tranquil state of the steel market. with
prices comparatively low. pig iron
keeps on climbing, due to the inflated
demands from steel works and ship
builders. The scarcity of materils In
Japan is owing to the difficulties in
securing goods from foreign markets.
Pig iron Is produced in Japan In
some quantity. but nowhere sufficient
to meet the needs of the country. For
merly 1t vas imported from India,
Canada, China, and elsewhere, par
tioularly from India and China. India
however. stopped it's exports last year,
so that today only asmall quantity
is received from this source, with Ii
censes issued by the Indian govern
ment. The Canadian government is
absolutely EMBRACING exports of pig
iron China is the only country on
which Japan can rely for part of her
needs.
1t is true that China abounds in
this metal, but, on account Of the un-
reliable trade customs, trading can be
firms Many Of the smaller concerns
are eager to form connections with
Japanese consumers. but their goods
cannot be handled with confidence. for
they are often adulterated with some
other cheaper metal. The import If pig
iron during 1917 was estimated at $751;
0s6.50s pounds, against 27s.o71.9sS
pounds in 1915.
In view of the accelerated demand
there seems to be no way out of the
tightness. and the alienation seems to
