LIBERTY MOTORS

Army Meets With Success in
Conversion From Water
Cooled Type.

The Liberty airplane motor, subject
of several hundred changes and i'm

here in the early days of the war, is
up before Army aeronautical en-
gineers once more and due for another
fmproVement-conv from water
cooled to air-cooled type.
While the Navy is in an advanced
experimental stage with large air.
cooled motors and European nations
already have the heavy types in prac-

about 5000 Liberty engines in stock
from the war days, cannot branch out
very far in production of new types
or power plants.
Experts at the Air Service En-
gineering Division at McCook Field,
Dayton, Ohio, however, have taken a
stock Liberty and turned 1t from a
water-cooled to an air-cooled motor.
Their first labors have been a success
too much of a success, in fact, be

which liquifies and carries the heat

of the valve stems.
The motor has been on the testing
block and has functioned perfectly,
with the exception that there IS

cording to the McCook Field motor
experts.
Successful conversion of the Liberty
into an air-cooled type would pc

and those being built to hold the

emphasized, the reduction OF weight
by the elimination of the radiator ana
water itself and the abolition or water
pumps, hoses and water jackets.
Further, many forced landings and
accidents are due to water leaks,
failure of the pumps to function and
other causes leading up to the loss
of water. Another advantage to De
gained by the air-cooled type Is a
smaller head resistance, which now is
quite large on many types que TO

streamlining and smaller noses run

Army into air-cooled motors.
The Navy's types of air-cooied
motors are radical-nine-cylind ZOO

horsepower The former are in use
in small observation and spotting
planes aboard battleships and cruis-
ers, while the latter are now under
