TO THE PIJBL1cA

Z
On October 18th at 2:4o p. M; two strictly
stock ,Studebaker Commander Sport
ROadsters, and strictly stock Commander
Sedan, started at the Atlantic City Speedway
Zone and one-half mile board trackJ to run
continuously for $4,000 miles and thereby, if
successful, to establish new world record for
endurance, and also, if possible, to average
better than mile a minute and thus break
all existing speed records not already held by
Studebaler cars. These were the objectives
sought by Studebaker.
This run was sanctioned and supervised by
the American Automobile Association, which
stationed a squad of 3S men on the job in
charge of Val Haresnape, Secretary of the
Contest Board of the Association. These men
kept all of the records by means of the most
accurate electrical time recording instruments
and tape which registered every lap (16, ,667
laps) as each car passed over wire stretched
across the track Immediately in front of the
judges stand, which was occupied by four
A. A. A. men at all times-day and night.
In addition, at least two members of the
A. A. A. Technical Committee kept an accu-
rate record of all gas, oil and water repleniSh-
ments, togetherswith parts replacementS and
work done on the cars.
The sole duty of the Studebaker drivers and
pit men was to keep the cars on the track and
the average speed above mile a minute.
They had nothing to do with the recording of
distance or speed.
The Official Results of the tests as duly
certified by the American Automobile Asso-
citation were as follows:
Both roadsters finished $4,000 miles on
November 3rd at l :37 p. M, which made the
total elapsed time Is days, % hours and 48
minutes, or 22,o68 minutes, and the average
speed 6531 miles per hour for the entire
distance.
The Sedan finished $4,000 miles on No
venber 4th at 1000 a. M, which made the
total elapsed time 10 days, 10 hours and 20
minutes, or 24,200 minutes, and the average

THE WORLDS CHAMPION CAR

South Bend, Indiana, November 10th, 1927
speed 61.9s miles per hour for the entire
distance. @
These are World records for distance
covered and average speed. No machine
made by man in the history of the world,
be it airplane, automobile, steam engine,
or ship, has even approached the per-
torn1a11ce of these Studebaker cars.
An accurate record of all repairs and re-
placements was kept on the three cars. At
Studebaker's retail prices for parts, the total
cost of all mechanical repairs and replace
mentS (1ncluding labor) on the two Roadsters
was $207.88 or Al hundredths of cent per
mile for the $4,000 miles Travelled.
The Sedan turned over during the night of
November End with mileage of d, 800 miles
to its credit, while going at the rate of 65
miles per hour. 1t was necessary to replace
radiator, wheels, headlights and front axle,
but the car was back on the track again In
one hour and fifty seven minutes and COM
pleted the $4,000 miles with an average speed
OF oil .98 mlleSper hour The repair cost was,
of course, made abnormally heavy on the
Sedan by this wreck totaling $408.34 or one
and sixty-three hundredths cents per mile.
Competitive engineering and proving ground
tests, plus analytical examinations of hun
dred cars made during the past year, had con-
vinced the men who make Studebaker cars,
that they are superior in performance, en-
durance, and value to any other carslo on the
American market today.
Realizing the futility of superlative claims,
soprevalent in automobile advertising, Stude-
baker determined seven months ago to go
after all existing performance records held by
stock automobiles and to submit the results
to the public as official facts certified to
by the highest American authority,
namely the American Automobile Asso-
citation.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, February 26.-
Speaking the Eskimo language, the
voice of Bishop Alfred Turquetil was
carried to his friends in the Arctic
wastes tonight by radio from Station
KDkA. The bishop who, for 81 years
has led his little band of Oblate faith
ers. French missionaries, in their work
among the Eskimos, addressed his
friends in their native tongue.
The bishops message to the Eskimos
contained many personal touches. He
told them of his journey to Pittsburgh
"in order to use the talking machine
that has the biggest voice. .
Next Summer | shall see the Eskimos
again. Since l left you last Summer,
the Eskimos of Chesterfield are the

He said to the Eskimos:
1t is said that next Summer white
men are going to Baffin Land and
southampton by flying. They say
they have very fast flying machines
Others will go by boat to the great
river (ChurchilD, where they intend to
make the road of the fire sleighs

The bishop expressed the hope that
in the near future he could establish

NEW MONOPOLY SEEN,
French Wireless Regulations MAJ
Retard Radio Progress.

The new French wireless regulations
appear to create new government
monopoly and provide for the official
control of both equipment, operation
and of matter transmitted, despite the
declarations Of the government that It
did not contemplate any advance to-
ward naturalization of operation,
Commercial Attache Jones reports
from Paris. Many fear these regula-
tions will hamper free development of
radio In France, since it is clear that
they contain the possibilities of a very
strict governmental control and CEN
sorship. although better broadcasting
is planned.
The official report itself asserts that
one of it's objects Is to set UP a.
greater governmental control in order
to establish a coherent. national and
powerful radio system which can COM
bat foreign propaganda through the
dissemination Of French ideals and
civilization.

Devices Record Radio Programs During
Fans Absence for Later Reproduction

A new scheme for those who are
unable to be at home when a de-
sired radio program is broadcast is
seen in an adaptation of the recent
inventions, both in the United States
and abroad. which make possible the
recording of telephone calls when the
subscriber is absent.
Such a device hooked up with a
radio receiver would enable fans to
arrange for recording special pro-
grams during their absence and make
1t possible to turn on the number
upon arriving home
A device invented and used prac-
tically in this country recently. in
connection with the recording OF
some speeches for release in another
city at later date, provides for the
picking up of the sound waves made
by a speakers voice on a magnetized
wire. They are kept intact thereon

The TroubleShooter Says

Like everything else in radio, DIX
is changing and find that few radio
lists are taking this fact into con-
sideration. Frequently I am called
in to pass judgment on a set and
give my opinion as to why it doesn't
pull in the distant stations as 1t
should.
In every case lately / am finding
the same thing. Operators are CROP
ing for distance in the old-fashioned
way. They are giving their sets
every bit of power they've got and
are plugging in every available tube.
And that's just what's wrong.
Nowadays the way 70 get distance
| is to cut down on power and ampli-
fication. That is, if the set is one
of the modern multi tube affairs
power operated and equipped with
a power tube in the last stage, OF
power application between the
output of the set and the speaker. The
| change has come about because of
two things:
Increased station power.
Increased set sensitivity and
amplification.
| Put these two together and power
may be the stumbling block when
seeking DIX, because in addition to
| the station you want you get half
dozen which you don't want Re-
suit: An annoying heterodyne be-
| tween conflicting waves.
If the owners of newer sets want
distance they should strive for
selectivity and cut down on ampli
| fication in a great many cases.
