New Ihinos For 1885

Rumors are already afloat regard
ing new developments to be seen on
automobiles in 1885. A particularly
interesting rumor that persists in
certain engineering circles is to the eff
feet that engines will be in the rear
of the car instead of under hood in
the front. This may seem q bit
strange to the motorist who is &C
customed to seeing the horse in
cars have always been in the rear.
Now the Rumpler, German gas car,
has already adopted the rear location
Tor the power plant.
If nothing more startling is de-
velcped 1t is believed that at least
the poppet valve system must go,
gas being admitted and expelled by
some ingenious but extremely simple
arrangement Of valve ports. And
there are those who visualize the en-
CINE of the future entirely rotational
in action, that is, instead of pistons
working up and down in cylinders
stopping dead at every extremity of
their travel, a sort OF turbine ar
rangement will be used. The trouble
has always been to provide a way to
compress the gas vapor, since gaso-
line engine is powerless without COM
preston. But it is now believed that
the super charger development may
eventually solve this problem.
Apparently this is looking far
ahead, but those who are watching
foreign developments say that 1885
may not be a premature date for
some of the newer things. Trans
missions will be entirely eliminated,
It is predicted. Likewise clutches.
One of the German cars already
starts and stops by switching on or
Off the ignition. A large starter
motor and battery accomplished the
trick.
Automotive advancement has been
greatly hindered,> many contend. be-
cause discoveries have been made by
the trial and error system. The
discovery of Ethyl gas, for instance,
was costly and somewhat waste
full process, whereas the neutrodyne
principle in radio was worked out
fundamentally with very little
waste effort. Radio may teach the
automobile industry much that is Of

sistance to wear and lghtness are
important factors. 1t is literally
true that without heat treatment the
modern automobile could never have
been brought to its present high
state of efficiency.
Plain carbon steel of good quality
has the properties of strength. due
tiiity and resistance to shock. By
the scientific use of heat treatment
these properties can be greatly i'm
proved, and in recent years alloy
steels have been developed, which.
after heat treatment, give results
vastly superior to those Of the best
heat treated carbon steels. Thus,
by making certain parts of stronger
and tougher steel, it is possible to
increase their durability and at the
same time decrease their weight.
The upbuilding of the steel struc-

are made from drop forgings. The
drop forgings, in turn, are made
from bar stock, built to specifications
at some of the large steel mills. Now,
lust any bar stock at all cannot be
used for any and all forSings. the
work the finished part is to do must
be taken into consideration by the
engineers so that the bar stock may
be ordered with the right percentage
of carbon or special alloy to give
the required quality of toughness,

The bar stock is made from cast
ings, or ingots. These ingots are
heated and passed between large
rollers while hot, and as they are
rolled and elongated by this action

The science of heat treating CEN
ters about the critical point of the
metal but experience and research
have shown the engineers how this
treatment can be varied in its APP
plication to suit the conditions that
each of the parts must encounter IN
service. For example, the principal
requirement in the drive shafts in
the rear axle is toughness. i. e., the
structure of the steel should be uni

 The rates prescribed by Ordinance No. 7S are in full force and effect, and as the court declared such rates to be not confiscatory, necessarily the ordinance is in effect from September |2, 1924, as provided by it's terms, thus making a refund due from MT. Graf for all current paid for at the rate of 15c: the section of the decree or judg- ment is as follows:
 That the Town of Seward, Alas
 ka, municipal corporation, do have
 and recover of and from Samuel M.
 Graf, all moneys received by said
 Graf from said municipal corpora
 tiOn, in payment of electricity con-
 sumed by it by meter in excess of

 ice by Ordinance No. 78 of said
 Town, during and covering the pe-
 riod from October 1, 1924, to Sept
 ember 30, 1925" thus permitting the City to recover such overcharge."
 The third section or paragraph of the judgment gives to all inhabitants of Seward who have paid the 15 cent meter rate, the right to recover from MT. Graf, and virtually is judgment against him for such excessive pay ments. It is estimated that this refund to the Town and citizens will be about S3,OO0.
 In case an appeal is taken it is esti- mated by attorneys that the costs of appeal will be around S50O0.
