NEW ENGINE TYPE

South Bend Man invents High
Pressure Motor for All
Purposes.

Probabilities Of revolutionizlng the
engine motor world and possibility
OF South Bend having a new factory
for manufacturing the latest scien-
tihc motor were disclosed Saturday
with the announcement OF an in
venuon completed by Waldo G. Ger
nandt OF the Gernandt Motor cor
poratiOn Of this city. After Is years
Of concentrated effort. including five
years of experiment. Mr.. Gernandt
has perfected a motor which can be
made into any number OF cylinders
for every desired purpose. using for
i's fuel any type from gasoline TO
the poorest grade OF crude oil.
With an unlimited field the posi- d.
Dilities for such a scientific lnven-
ton are great. The plan OF the in
ventor is TO first place a two-cyIin-
der motor for tractor use on the
market. This engine, practically
completed, first Will be introduced
in the Chicago auto show Jan 2S 10
Feb. Z, and later in the Minneapolis
tractor show. Feb. Sill. Accord o.
ing TO the plan the motor will then
be built for automobiles, marine use
and airplanes.
Y. Bendix Of the Bendix engine
works OF Chicago and South Bend
has financed the development OF the
engine and is said 10 have invested
nearly $4,000 on the motor 20
date. Patents on the invention are
controlled by the Gernandt Motor
corporation. The South Bend Cham
ber- of Commerce has cooperated
with Gernandt and Bendix IN the
development Of the engine, and haa
been instrumental in its effort to
have the motor manufactured in this
city.
High Compression Type.
The motor is OF the high compress
s on type. averaging 400 pound com
. pressure. Through combining cir
and heat in one. the final tempera-
ture in the cylinder is said 10 be
sufficient for firing with any type OF
fuel without regulating the feed o.
any part Of the engine The use Of
spark plugs. wiring. carburetor, mag
neto and such external devices has
bFtlA tlAAlAAldLtu DN the invention.
Through the possibility Of using
crude oil for fuel, and the simple
ity of arrangement, the motor is be-
lieved to have limitless possibilities
in minimizing expense and saving
trouble.

of Y. M. c.. A. Drive
For New Members

The Y. NJ. c. A. membership cam
paign today enters it's last day with
both divisions in the race striving
hard to total the most members and
incidentally win the silver loving cup
offered by Elebash Jewelry Company
to the winning team.
Today will be the big day in the
drive. The campaign has been thrown
wide OPEN and the card system
abandoned. Every man in Pensacola
and surrounding territory will be a
prospect and workers will not be re-
stricted as to territory and prospects.
BY this method todays results are
expected to exceed the preceding
ones.
No luncheon was held yesterday and
the workers were handicapped by the
Governors Day exercises. The Blues,
with H. r. Sharpless as general, are
leading the Reds, generated by J. H.
Sheriff., but the latter are close be-
hind and are likely to oVertake the
Blues at any moment.
A supper will be held this evening
at the Y. NJ. c. A. and every worker
will be present to make a report on
the final day of the drive. The slo-
gan of 300 in 4 days" is expected to
be reality by tonight.
