FORD DEALERS

BANQUET
Get-Together Affair for 200 Is
Paid for BY Team With I
Lowest Sales


The Ford dealers of Washington
held their second annual banquet
at the City Club last night. oyer
200 statesmen, salesmanagers, and
members OF the Washington branch
attended. Frank e. McCalip was
toastmaster. -,
The banquet is a get.together
affair. During the year the deal
ers are divided into two teams, red
and white, and the one selling the
lowest number of cars pays for
this gala affair. O. w. Handley
captain Of the red, the winning team
for 1924. was presented with a
banner by Raymond Rocca, captain
Of the white team. -
Warren Eynon, manager Of the
Washington branch, and r. v.
English, wholesale manager, stated
that the 1925 quota of Ford cars
for the District of Columbia would
be 5000.

been incorporated in the building
of some Straight Fights.
Larger .crankshafts increase the
speed with which they vibrate, thus
bringing the critical speed above
fhe maximum speed for the engine.
Bat ii is not all in dimensions, and
so motorists, are always getting
engines that vibrate in ways they
we're not supposed to-. The only
remedy, in this event, is to under
stand the nature of the vibration
Isand operate the engine so as to
minimize it.
Putting another flywheel at the
front end of the engine shaft Is
favored by some manufacturers
instead OF stiffening the shaft.
What it does is to cause the shaft
to vibrate from the center in two
sections.
{ A shaft vibrates at rate in
yefsely proportional to its length,
engineers tell US, and this simply
means that q shaft with two fly
wheels will vibrate approximately
twice as fast as it would with only
one. This. might raise the critical
speed from thirty to, let US say,
sixty miles. an hour, car speed.
The average driver would have lit
tie to worry about in his case.
So if you are considering a new

that you are buying an out-of-date
engine because the shaft may not
be as thick as some others. The
double flywheel may do the trick

l,he wants to avoid this critical speed

AS q nattersof fact he should do
both when he has an opportunity
to avoid driving at or near the
critical speed, for If he leads up. to-
the critical speed with less twisting
to- start with, 1t is obvious that, the;
engine is going to run smoother at,
all, points. BY feeding gas at al
iilstalIinents, with interinissions for

Crankshafts Rule Speed
With the coming of the Straight

Straight-eight shafts are longer on

they are not all provided with anti

The Straight eight, however,
presents an advantage that. must
not be overlooked, and many
motorists viii see that part of
their job OF controlling vibration
lies in selecting the right type of
motor. This bears upon another
vibratory force in all engines which
engineers term ''torque reaction. !"
It is merely the<tendency of the
whole engine to rotate around the
crankshaft, caused by the side
thrust OF the pistons against their
respective cylinder wallis when go
ing down on their power. stroke.
Engineers have found out that The
total side pressure, or torque re-
action, is the same for one. six or
eight cylinders, i the engines are
Of the same brake horsepower,
pressure are less with the multi
cylinder engines for the reason that
their cylinders and pfstons are
smaller and lighter. The less
variation in forces acting upon the
engine the less vibration there is.
This explains why the Straight
Fights have less vibration from this
source.

CINE was developed because it OF
ferred what seemed to be an ideal
basis for the arrangement of 1.-THE

Shaft-Length Is Difficulty.
It has to do with the length -6t
the shaft. The smallest OF skies

at the rear of this long shaft III is
apparent that the pistons of the
forward cylinders have little
freer motion than those at the rear.
That is, the shaft is so much
lighter at the front than at the rear
that the front pistens can rum

the shaft win yield accordingly
This is exaggerating the conditions.
