Another Worlds Record
Beaten by Sunbeam

The Sunbeam engine, used in the
Sunbeam car recently introduced in
this country, has added another record.
Installed in the French motor boat
Sunbeam Despujols it beat the worlds
speed record for motor boats at pri-
vate trial held on the Seine near Paris
on March %.
The trials were carried out on 500
meter course, where the current is
slight, and the official chronometers
recorded that this was covered in from
fourteen to sixteen seconds at different
trials. The general speed may be set
down as 1870 kilometers, or rs miles, an
hour
The Sunbeam motor used In making
this record is $50 horsepower and
weighs only 1,700 kilos. Naval construc-
tors have held that a propeller turning
more than 1900 revolutions minute
would produce a vacuum about itself
and in consequence fail to secure speed.
The inventors of the new record break
err, however, have disproved this theory
and used a multiplicator, which pro-
duced 5000 revolutions a minute.
This Sunbeam motor was of the same
type as those used in the British R-34,
which crossed the Atlantic last summer.
The Sunbeam car, driven b its Amer
lean concessionaire, Dario Resta, also
holds the record Of the fastest lap ever
done on the Brooklands Speedway, Eng
land--118w miles an hour.

cut-out the trouble would have been
laid elsewhere. 1t is n1fural where
there is decrease of ptWer to blame
it on some other causs. One never
thinks Of the muffler in this connec-
ton. AS matter of fact the manu-
facturers do not consider it necessary
to inspect the muffler when a car goes
into the service station. The inspec-
tion card makes no provision for it,
unless some manufacturer has put q
new provision on the card recently.
The driver who uses kerosene in the
cylinders to get rid Of carbon will
likely transfer it from cylinder to
muffler unless he opens the cut-out
when running the engine to blow out
the kerosene and carbon, for the
mixture is nice and soft to plaster
over walls of the muffler, and the
heat will quickly bake it into nice
enamel, covering holes and walls.
While the y muffler on most cars is
in most inconvcnient place to get
ct, the driver should take it off occa
sionally and clean it out, or expect
eventually to have trouble, and perhaps
have it blown off. This is one thing
you are not likely to find covered by
the manufacturers instruction book,
but it is none the less important.

New Style of
Truck Rating
Is Making a Hit
Users Pleased With Plan
of Abandoning Tonnage
Ratings, Reports East
man, of the Packard

ut is most gratifying to see how
fully tho users Of motor trucks in this
vicinity appreciate the sound principles
back of the recent discarding Of ton
nago ratings on Packard trucks" says
Lee J. Eastman, president of the Pack
ard Motor Car Company of New York.
"The comments which have been re-
ceived at our branches show that those
who operate trucks realize the advan-
tages to be gained by this radical
change from one Of the customs OF
the trade
"Some prospective buyers we're sur
prised when told that this company was
not selling merely three or four
ton truck. However, after they had
explained the conditions under which
they wished to haul load of three
or four tons and were shown how
Packard trucks were being sold ac-
cording to the conditions under which
they operate, they saw that it was to
fitted the job, or, in other words, to
get the transportation unit which best
suited their needs.
Because our trucks had always
been given tonnage rating to cover
the worst hauling conditions and
therefore had reserve power enough
for the exceptional, rather than the
average hauling conditions, it some
times happened that where this COM
pany had not had chance to analyze
the hauling problem and the pur-
chaser specified the size Of the truck,
rucks were bought with considerably
aore reserve power than was ever
,sed under the purchasers particular
lauling conditions. This, Of course,
vas direct loss to the purchaser.
"Now the buyer Of q Packard truck
will buy neither too much nor TOO
little truck power, but will get a
transportation unit which will enable
him to meet the requirements under
which the trucks are to be used. To
put it simply, purchaser will get
truck to haul a three-ton load over

defects, and there was no longer need
of the cut-out. That is why it usually
is not now furnished as part of the
regular equipment. There is no longer
back pressure.
But it does not follow that back pres

be not kept clean the small openings

exhaust. This may become SO severe
that the engine will be stopped, or
lose most of it's power. The poor grades
of gasoline, even at present sky high
prices, have tendency to give off
Particularly would this be true if the
carburetor were out of adjustment,
permitting an excess Of gasoline to
enter the cylinders. 1t is not burned
perfectly and causes extra carbon to
clog the muffer. Engines which load

Clogging of the muffer holes and the
back pressure of unescaped gas pre-
vent the cylinders from being emptied
Of burned gases. This prevents draw

throttle would be useless; opening it
would have no effect. Likewise in
starting, the first few explosions would
choke the exhaust there would be a
sputter and the engine would stop,
because so little fresh mixture could
enter the cylinders. This is the ex-
treme, but we have had cases enough
to establish the fact.
In one particular case a car in which
the writer was riding could scarce
make headway up slight grade; often
second speed was necessary to prevent
stalling the engine, until some one
stepped on the cut-out and the car shot
ahead. A little experimenting showed
that the cut-out was q pretty good &C

knew right off that the mufher was

Lewis May Drive
Essex Racer i'm
Years Contests
Report Has 1t That Promi-
nent Speed Pilot Is to
Have New Mount for the
Coming Season.

The announcement Is made that Dave
Lewis has abandoned the eight.cylinder
Deusenberg, with which he captured
every worlds track record from one to
one hundred miles, to sign with Essex
Motors.
In view of the fact that the Essex
was designed by the same men respon-
sible for the Hudson Super-Six and
that 1T is built in the Hudson factory,
there Is much speculation as to whether
the signing Of Lewis forecasts another
sensational campaign such as won for
the Super-SiX tho American Speedway
championship.
The Essex proved that it possesses
qualities which made the Hudson Super
Six famous when it set u-w worlds
long distance endurance record on the
Cincinnati Speedway by covering 3.o37
miles in fifty hours. This record was
made by stock chassis and it is also
worthy of note that the Essex WAS
driven on this occasion by Lewis.
1t is several years since any of the
big manufacturers have taken part in
any kind of contests. One reason for
this has been the unprecedented de-
mand for cars, which has caused them
to devote their entire energies exclu-
sively to production. This year, how
ever, it is known that many Of the
larger European manufacturers are pre-
pairing special racing cars for an Amer
can invasion in an effort to regain the
prestige they lost during the war.
Peugeot, Ballot and Sunbeam are all
to be represented by entries at Indian
apolis this year, but so far as is known
no American manufacturer has yet sig
nified any intention of entering this
track classic, the task of upholding the
honors won by America in the past
years being left to individual drivers.

Tucked away back under the car,
where it is out of sight and out OF
mind, the muffler is usually the most
neglected part of the car. Indeed, it
is "cut out" altogether by many just
as soon as the traffic cop is left be-
hind. 1t should not be So The muffler
has distinct and beneficial purpose
and is worthy of careful regard.
Those who have. followed this series
will remember among Prerequisites for
successful operation of a gas engine
after starting are cooling, fabrication
and free exhaust. The latter, un-
confined, would be unbearable. The
muller is to muffle the great noise and
give a comparatively silent exhaust, at
the same time providing for a free
escape of the burned gases. Without it
there would be no pleasure in riding
and the pedestrian and dweller by the
roadside would need pads on their ears
Those who can remember the days be-
fore mufflers were required on cars
will bear witness to the necessity.
This is why: In the operation OF
the engine the exhaust valve opens
pressure of twenty five to thirty pounds
square inch. Let directly into the
air it would "knock hole in it," and
the report would be deafening. There
would be no talking in the car or it's
vicinity. The mufler provides a cham
Der, where the exhaust gases may ex-
pand and likewise cool, thereby lessen
ing the pressure, and by permitting the
gases to pass off slowly through a null
tiplicity of small passages the exhaust
reaches the air quietly, instead of
with rush and "big noise"
Early muffiers were rather crude, and
although they did not quiet the exhaust,
often it was at a great loss of power
because of back pressure. Because of
this a cut-out was devised being moth
ing more than valve which permitted
an exhaust direct into the air, for use
in starting or on steep grades, or when
extra power was necessary. 1t was al
most as much of nuisance as the
open exhaust, and cities speedily en-
acted ordinances forbidding the use of
the cut-out. Meanwhile, manufacturers
perfected the mufiler to obviate the
