GREATEST PLANE
MOTOR IN WORLD

Ever Built in United States
Made iE Detroit.
INTENDED FOR GENERAL USE
Capable Of Driving Machine at 200
Miles an Hour, Says Designer,
Ore Of Liberty Motor Gre
ators-ls Fireproof

Dctroit.-A new 5O0-GOO horsepower
airp!ane engine, the most powerful
ever built in this country and the most
powerful in the world except for IL few
racing freaks, has been completed here.
1t is expected to develop speeds far
greater than anything yet achieved.
In addition ii is tireproof. and ii can be
started "cold" after IL long dive. thus
ending two of the greatest dang 'rs
that aviatOrs have had to face.
This announcement was authorized
by Col. Jesse &. Vincent, designer Of
the engine who is known as one Of
the creators of the Liberty motor.
The new engine, in spite of its great
power. is no freak. 1t is intended for
steady, longtime service. either for
heavy duty or for great speed. and is
designed for American quantity pro-
duction methods.
Made for General Use.
While the men who are handling the
new engine expect that it will push a
plane at least 200 miles an hour. the
engine was not designed for this pur-
pose alone, and is capable of wide and
general use. 1t weighs only 1.94
pounds per horsepower.
The lessons VIII ch Colonel Vincent
learned during the war in his study Of
the actual performance of the Liberty
motor as well as of the best makes
from both allied and energy countries.
are embodied in this design, and us a
u In nnfnhIn
vanceS.
Most important is that the motor is
ireproof for all civil purposes. This
has been attained by putting the car
buretor below and outside of the crank
case, with all vents outside the cow
ling so that there is no possibility OF
conflagration from back fire. This
arrangement also has the advantages
that it gives gravity feed. thereby
eliminating the weight Of extra piping
and of the feed pump. and that 1t
makes the carburetor much more ac-
cessible
Exhaust Valves Changed.
Another change has beeh in prOvid-
ing two inlet and two exhaust valves

result has been bigger and steadier
flow of gas TO the cylinders, and u
very high mean effective pressure even
at great speed. A double finger valve
lift is used and this permits changes
In the cam-shaft and rOcker-arm me-
chanism which make this engine much
superior to any predecessor In the
troublesome matter of leakage from
the cam-shaft housing.
A third change Is In the use OF
single duplex carburetor, instead OF
the usual two carburetOrs The diff
Guilty of synchronizing the throttle and
altitude controls of two carburetOrs
has always been bugbear to aviators,
but it had been felt that two or more
were necessary to give the requisite
flow of gas. 1t has been found in the
tests, however, that this single duplex
gives splendid economy and other de-
tails which, in the opinion of Colonel
Vincent, fully justify the design. He
predicts that 1t will promptly become
a universal practice with airplane en-
gineers.
