JUNE BRINGS SERIOUS
SHORTAGE OF AUTOS
Buyers So ANXIOUS 10 Get Cars They
Arc Willing Ia Drive From The
Factory Themselves.

Predictions made at the national
automobile shows in January that
June would see IA serious and unpre-
cedented shortage Of cars have
proved correct far beyond the eX-
pectatlons manufacturers accord
ing to Edward s. Jordan, president
of the Jordan oMtor Car company.
while many factories are still
producing cars In quantities which
would satisfy the trade In ordinary
times, the demand right now Is so
great It is almost impossible 10 meet
tenth part OF H." he says. 1T Is
only necessary TO look upon any
road leading from the big automo-
bile manufacturing ceneers Of the
country and you will see line after
line of passenger cars driving away
under their own power It'is a sig
nficant fact that buyers are sc
anxions to get their cars that they
are willing to drive them from the
factory themselves. The new fac
tories that are able TO get railroad
cars are indeed fortunate.
And the worst Of the situation
has not yet arrived. as every auto
mobile dealer knows. This Ii at
tested by the daily stream OF telc-
grams at tho Jordan factory from
dealers looking into the future. The
present season will not see more
than half the automobile demand
filled and next year will start with
a big deficit"

STEEL AND GAS WILL

IIeye Auto Industry VIII
Bc Crippled.

Los ANGELES. June IA lot
OF rumor mongers who want us to
believe that the automobile indus
try will have to shut up shop by
government order because OF the
big ship program and the demand
for steel, must have received "A Sc
we're shock when they read Charles
NJ Schwab's statement the other
day" says A. l.. zeckendorf, Chand-
Ter distributor.
The director-gcneral of our
emergency fleet corporation In an
| nuuncing ac 90 per cent increase in
! his ship plans said, IL do not con-
| template any trouble In obtaining
the necessary steel. believe that
production will increase to meet
tho demand. The two disturbing
4 questions are those OF fuel and
transportation. Here. however, we
are meeting with hearty co.opera-
ton. and | think these questions
will be met and satisfactorily an
swered."
Those irresponsible individuals"
Zeckendorf continued, who were
spreading reports from 'unquestIon-
ed authorities even before the big
increase In ship building was
planned said that the steel, fuel and
transportation situation would not
permit the completion OF the am
bitious ship building program and
at the same time take care OF the
needs OF the automobile industry Mt
Its present rate OF production. Now,
here comes the big boss with the
encouraging information that he
does not anticipate serious trouble
In going ahead With a much bigger
plan because of the ability OF the
steel and coal Industries to Increase
their outputs and the ability OF the
rallro2ds to transport materials.
"UnN the automobile In
dustry\ will voluntarily curtail its
output)50 per cent for the coming
year, No excessive demands will be
made by the government. Washing
ton realizes II needs other indus
tries besides the war Industry. so
let's just overlook rumors in the fu-
ture and wait for official statements
from men like Schwab.

PROVES EFFICIENT
IN THOROUGH TESTS.

After the first experimental motor
had been completed it was subject
ed to a great many trying tests and
was found to be exceedingly effi-
cient and very light. 1t developed
horsepower of considerably over
400 and its weight was but little
over 500 pounds It's weight per
horsepower was therefore about two
pounds, which is much lighter than
the majority Of airplane motors. On
endurance tests II stood up wonder
fully. 1t was tested at the summit
of Pixies Peak in order TO determine
its action under conditions OF rari-
fled atmosphere--and proved very
satisfactory At the bureau of
standards in Washington a special
room was set aside in which a par
tial vacuum was created equivalent
to that which exists at the maximum
height 10 which an airplane engine
has been carried. In this room the
engine was found TO operate perfect.
". At one OF it's first altitude tests
In plane the American record for
altitude was smashed, Not until
September was the order to proceed
with the manufacture OF the Liberty
motor definitely given, and imme.
,diately work was started in the
Packard plant.
II was not considered advisable to
build a new plant and purchase new
machinery for the manufacture OF
the new motor because this would
consume a great deal OF time. In
stead. 1t was decided to give up the
manufacture Of automobile motors
for the time being and rearrange
the machine tools Make the new
motor. While the plans were being
prepared to carry this out the auto,
mobile motor plant was operated
day and night at full capacity in
order to produce as many automO-
bile motors as possible before tho
manufacture of them stopped. I'm
der this intensive program by the
end of the year n large stock Of
motors had been machincd and for
the most part assembled to meet tho
commercial demands. In the mean
time, work on the new Liberty motor
was going ahead AS fast as possible
New jigs had to be constructed ma
chine tools had to be fitted with
new appliances and the work had to
be organized so thaG the motor
could be produced on a large scale
IL is interesting to nate that the
first, experimental motor was deliv-
cred to the government on the 4th
day Of July, and the first production

EFFICIENCY OF NEW MOTOR
net TO BE QUESTIONED.

The efficiency OF the Liberty motor
is not to be questioned by anyone
who has examined il thoroughly. II
ts far more powerful than any other
airpHQe engine ever produced on a
quantity production basis It ex-
exceeds in power all trt few ex-
perimental machines. Although rated
at 400 horsepower it has shown on
test as high as 4s5 horsepower. and
It's weI Ight is $40 pounds.
1t is a 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 uni
versal utility. The Liberty motor is
one Of the most powerful airplane
motors in the world. and the lightest
for Its power. Obviously, II would be
impracticable to use it on light ma
chimes which do not require such
power, or on slow observation ma
chimes. But 1t is ideal for bombing
purposes, for here we have large air
planes of great carrying capacity that
must travel long distances at high
speed. The Liberty motor should
also be available for fighting ma
chimes of the larger types We arc
making a great many motors OF
other types for our training machines
and for our lighter fighting ma
chimes. Altogether, the airplane
situation is fast approaching a very
satisfactory basis, and before the end
OF the year Il should play an Import
ant part in the great struggle on the
other side Of the water-sclentiflc
American.

True Story of the Liberty Motor
Lghe and Most Powerful Engine Produced Quantity Basis

motor was sent to Washington on
Thanksgiving day, This, however
did not mean that the production
problems had all fpeen solved, No
one except a man who has actually
had experience with such work can
realize the infinite amount of detail
required In organizing new indus-
try Usually the organization work
does not make any showing at all to
the general public, and consequently
is not appreciated. one of the engi-
reers OF the Ford plant told the writ
er personally that he Thought every
one would recognize the right Of the
Ford company TO an opinion on
quantity production manufacture.
lie said that never in the worlds his
tory had a greater piece of work
been done on, n similar scale. The
development OF the Liberty motor
was simply short OF marvellous, and
the public, Instead Of criticlzing the
manufacturers for slowness should
be thankful that they have had such
competent men to carry on the work
and develop "a motor of such eff
cheney I'm go Incredibly short space
of time
The motor which was delivered TO
the government or Thanksgiving day
developed number OF $ m 'hl
troubles One OF these was the diff
ficulty OF fabrication, and eventual
~ it was found NECESSARY to change
the scupper system~to the original
forced fabrication system, But the
most important change was made In
the production OF the cylinders. in
the first Liberty motor the cylinders
had to be bored from the solid--an
operation that WAS very costly in
time and money. This. however, was
a copy of the best foreign engineer
ing practice, and was followed as a
necessary detail by our engineers. II
was at this juncture that the eugi-
neers Of the Ford Motor Car com
pany made notable contribution
They Developed cylinder forged out
Of steel tubing, which enabled the
manufacturers to turn out the cylin-
ders at very low cost and In exceed
inRly large quantities. Seamless steel
tubing is used, and this In but four
operations under the forge press and
bulldozer. is converted into a headed
and flanged cylinder blank on which
minimum OF machining need be
done. The manufacture of these
cylinders was not undertaken until
the end Of January and now they are
being turned out in very large guam
tity. Each week the cost of produc-
ing the cylinders has been reduced
slightly. and all the savings made
have been turned over TO the govern
ment. At the time the writer OBJ
served the work on these cylinders
the cost had been cut down more
than half with even greater econo-
mics I'm prOsDect

IMPROVEMENT MADE
DURING 1917.

The third model was begun in
April, 1917, Immediately after war
was declared. and the first engine
was completed in May. This con-
tanned certain Improvements over the
previous models, aimed particularly
at reduction of weight and simplifi-
cation of manufacture.
One OF the first demands upon this
country when 1t entered the war was
to start the manufacture of airplanes
in large quantities. We had a repu-
tation for manufacturing on guam
tity basis, and IT was felt that II we
turned our great industrial organic
ing ability upon this problem We
could turn out a fleet OF airplancs
that would simply overwhelm the
enemy. Our engineers had studied
the foreign airplane motors and a
number OF them were being made in
this country. 1t was realized, how
