MILLER NAMES
RAGING AIDS

.DeveIopment OF the NI4O-n1tie
speeds now being made by racing
cars would have been impossible
without three big improvements,
much better spark plugs, the super
charger and finer operating Dafts
generally
THAT IS the opinion of Harry
Miller, noted authority on racing
cars, who has designed and built, all
the Miller Specials which have
practically ruled the speedwags OF
the United States the last four
years.
Mr.. Miller, in Los Angeles few
days ago. paid high tribute to the
Mugs for their part In making
these tremendous speeds possible.
without this first and foremost
Improvement. the other two would
have been OF almost no value. he
said Champions have been equip
ment in every Miller in every inn.
portant race during those four
years.
I'm the development of race
ears" he pointed out. maximum
sustained speed is the funda-
mental object we seek to attain.
To secure this, it is imperative
that the various parts be SO
designed and constructed that they
will prove competent to withStand
strains even beyond those con
sidered the utmost in the past.
Compression pressures or ninety
and 100 pounds per square inch
were considered high only few
years ago.m b Today those pressu1es
are fast becoming the vogue for
standard cars, while compression
pressures up to lao pounds an lncn
arc not unusual in racing cars.
when we consider that it Is neceb-
sary to produce some 200 hors.',
power from engines which would
normally be rated at about Is, 1t Is
imperative that the parts which
make this tremendous step-up
possible be as nearly perfect as
human ingenuity can devise.
THE apparent limit to racing
speeds was generally believed TO
have been reached four years ago.
At that time the spark plugs were
the chief limiting factors. They
would permit the cars to reach as
high as 116 miles an hour-a speed
which, however, could not be main
tanned Many changes in plugs
during a race were necessary, so
Then came a new Champion
racing design, which made possible
a speed of about 1913 miles an
hour Even more important, per
haps, a change Of plugs became al.
most unheard of, despite the even
more terrific demands imposed ON
them by these constantly mounting
strains. So far superior have these
Champions been to anything we
previously could obtain that there
is no comparison. Today. in OBJ.
tanning even faster speeds, and in
averaging close TO 130 miles an
hour for $50 or more miles, Cham
pions continue their perfect per-
formances.
Next came the superchargers.
These force the gas mixture into
the cylinders under high phessure,
instead of its being taken in under
atmospheric pressure. In combi
nation with the improved spark
plugs and other better operating
parts. we have already actually 140
miles an hour on the speedways.
Just how much faster we shall be
able to go no one can tell as yet.
but let me make this clear-the
advantages of the supercharger, and
the other improvements could not
have been realized except for the
previous development of spark
plugs to meet the new conditions
imposed"
