From the above it will be seen that
the valves do not open or close At
dead center In the early type of
engines the inlet opened Al top dead
center on the inlet stroke and closed
at bottom dead center. and the ex-
haust opened at bottom dead center
at the beginning OF the exhaust stroke
and closed at top dead center This
worked very well on low speed en-
gines, but the modern engine may
turn up to q speed of two or three
thousand revolutions a minute. This
requires very different setting than
the old one.
The inlet valve opens ten or twelve
degrees past top dead center. As the
piston has already started on its
down stroke it has made slight
vacuum When the valve opens the
pressure of the gas in the inlet man
fold forces the gas in with ar ush.
This gives a quick start of the gas
into the cylinder The piston moves
downward, sucking in the fresh mix
ture. But the stroke is over long
before the cylinder can fill. Sucking
a gas into the combustion space Is
q different matter from pulling a rope
or a chain. The gas depends upon
the atmospheric pressure outeide to
force it in, which cannot operate i'm
mcdiately. SO the inlet valve remains
open several degrees after the piston
leaves bottom dead center, in some
engines as much as 80 or 80 de-
grees after dead center. measured on
the fly wheel The momentum OF the
gas in the inlet manifold forces the
mixture into the cylinder against the
rising piston. BY this expedient of
holding the valve open we pack
much more explosive mixture into the
cylinder and so develop more power
In designing the cam to operate
the exhaust valve another problem is
presented. that of cleaning out the
cylinder in the short time allowed
for the purpose If the valve opened
at bottom dead center, the engine
could not develop much power. So
it is set to open several degrees be-
fore the power stroke ends as high

ditional time to get rid Of the burnt
gas and also helps in keeping the
cylinder cool, as the heat is disposed
of So quickly. 1t would seem that
we are sacrificing some of our power
by opening the exhaust valve before
bottom center But "a moments re-
Election will show that there is very
little power in the cylinder at the end
of the stroke. We gacrIfice very
little power in order to have cleaner
cylinder and room for more gas, thus
increasing he power developed The
piston now moves upward forcing out
the burnt gas. But the piston is
large and the valve is small, and the
gas cannot escape as fast as the
piston rises. There is further back
pressure ia tho exhaust manifold be-
caiea It les long and there is mul-
fer at the end For these reasons
the gas is slightly compressed at the
end of the exhaust stroke. SO the

Roy Johnson On The
Job and Making Good

People who predicted after the
last general election that Roy NJ.
Johnson. Republican member of
the board of county commissioners
who represents the first commits
sioners district, would never con
sent to assume the duties Of that
office when the time came but re-
sign and ask the governor to APP
point his successor, have another
think coming, because he is on
the job and making good with a
vengeance
Several thought that on account
of Mr.. JohnsonS extensive oil
interests he would have no time
to devote to public affairs, but
again they were wrong, because
he is not only devoting his time
to his new duties, but has shown
such 4 comprehensive grasp of
public affairs that his services will
be the means of saving many dol
lars to the taxpayers of Carter
county.
Roy Johnson's history is known
to every man, woman and child
in this section of the state. They
can recall other days before Lady
Luck" and sound common sense
placed him in the ranks of the
millionaire oil operators, and al
though great many do not agree
with him politically they all ad-
mire his ability as a business man
and more than few of his polit-
.cal opponents have expressed sat
isfaction at his being a member
of the board.
one of the most pleasing fea-
lures of Mr., Johnson's personality,
and one that is most often COM
mented upon. is the fact that with
all his success i, has not changed
him a particle from what he was
before fortune smiled upon him,
and the same size hat fits today
that did away back in 1910 when
his only oil well was child OF
his dreams
Mr. Johnson entered upon his
new duties with a determination To
give the taxpayers of Carter coun'
ty service to save them every
dollar possible. and from reports
eminating from the commission
ers' chamber the past week. IT
would seem that he is making
good.
