Engineers Work for Long Time

There is a touch of wizardry In
the results that have followed the
Inauguration by Gen. Juan Vicente
Gomez. president elect of Venezue-
la, of a new and daring policy-the
net-working of that republic with
a series of motor highways that are
designed literally to take the place
of railroad expansion" writes Harry
Chaplin Plumn1er in the American
Motorist.

lamp" says Mr.. Plummer. scarce
could have conjured up a geni OF
more plant obedience and service
than has Gen. Gomez in his deVel-
opment of a broad and sweeping
means of communication between
tidewater and the most remote inte-
rior and mountain districts-some
of them historic Spanish colonies
in the Cordilleras of the Andes that
were flOurishing long before the
landing of the Pilgrim Fathers on
Plymouth Rock. and some OF them
dense tropical areas.
About 1900 miles of these high
ways. built to withstand the heav-
lest motor-trUok traffic. are now
open and more are in process of
construction.
One has but to contrast the pres
ent facilities and opportunities of
the Venezuelan travel with the i'm
passable obstacles of only a few
years ago to realize what manner
. of magic the 'regenerator.' as his
people are wont to call Gov. Go
mez, has wrought for that most
beautiful of southern lands"
After discussing what these
changed conditions promise for
American industry and commerce.
Mr.. Plummer concludes:

What is a high speed engine7"
This question put to a score OF
average car owners who have no
special mechanical knowledge will
show that they regard the term as
having to do only with the rate at
which the car may travel. This
common impression undoubtedly
vas created by the ease with which
the first cars powered with high
speed" engines shattered all Amer
lean time records, but the benefits
gained by this development, in ad-
dition TO gait, are not well under
stood by the majority Of car owners
as well as many mechanics.
Back in 1902, when the few au-
tomotive engineers realized that
they were only starting the devel-
opment of the modern motor car, an
engine capable of 500 revolutions
per minute was considered a re-
markable power plant. The high
gear ratio necessary to turn these
500 revolutions per minute into
high road speed was regarded as
an unavoidable obstacle to efficient
performance in lower speed, or.
when tough, Juggling power was re-
quired.
Views Of Pioneers.
Some engineers. in those pioneer
days, were emphatic in their decla-
ration that the power of an 500 i.
p. N. motor could not be successful
ly applied to anything but racing
cars. The slower speed engines,
allowing a lower gear ratio. were
regarded as the practical passenger
car power plants.
1t was in 1909 that D. Mccall
White. designer of the new La
fayette at Indianapolis. then in the
British Isles with Messrs. d. Napier
& Son, Ltd, proved conclusiVely
that the bore OF the cylinder is not
the vital factor in power and that
the piston stroke need not be kept
as short as possible. This Napier
was rated at 1000 TO 1900 Il. P. NJ.
The smalI-bore. high-speed. long
stroke motor that permits of a gear
ratio which combines swift road
speed with pulling and smooth
power in lower speeds. was then ac-
cepted as the most practical and
efficient type.
Foreign Cars Popular.
Several years later came that
well-remembered period when for
eign cars, carrying high speed"
motors. practically swept the Yank-
ees off the tracks in all racing COM
petition. This country's engineers
had so long regarded large bore en-
gine speed of prime Importance that
they were loath to accept the in
novation until tests and experience
convinced them that d. Mccall
Whites principles were correct.
When American engineers saw.
however that the high speed" mo-
tor made for much more efficient
performance in all work. as well as
racing, they we/ quick to adopt it.
A short time later Mr.. White came
to America and designed the s.
cylinder Cadillac, the first high
speed engine in this country. Most

started that connected the adjacent
