A period of competition among
American airplane manufacturers to
produce larger and faster planes and,
necessarily, larger and more powerful
motors, appears to be well under way.
The demand for speed and yet more
speed in the air mail and air trans
port fields is having an important in
f1uence on airplane design and prom
Uses to result in evolution OF a number
of new high-speed commercial airplane
models.
AS the aerial passenger traffic in
creases there Is demand for larger
planes which will carry more passen-
gers, with resulting economy OF opera
ton, and which at the same time will
sacrifice nothing of speed or luxury.
AS a result the leading big plane manu-

KANSAS CITY, February Am air.
plane engine revolutionary in design
and appearance which has no crank
shaft or valves and the piStons of which
operate as shuttles to revolve q spiral
cam on the propeller shaft, Is under
development here.
The engine, which weighs but $50
pounds complete, tests between 400 and
AS horsepower with the shaft turning
1900 revolutions a minute.
The idea of the engine grew out OF
trouble experienced with valve and
crankshaft engines by George z. Frank
lin, Miles City, Mont, the inventor,
while he was a final test mechanic for
the Government at Detroit during the
war. He began working on the design
in 1919, in which year he obtained
his first patents.
is Cylinders Air Cooled.
The air-cooled cylinders, Is of them,
lie horizontally around an octagonal
case. eight at each end. Two opposing
cylinders are cast in a single barrel OF
aluminium alloy lined with steel.
On the inner side of the central sec
ton of the barrel is q slot through
which shaft and bearing deliver power
from the piston rod to spiral groove
around a large cylindrical cam through
which runs the propeller shaft.
The opposing pistons and rod con-
meeting them are cast in one unit. AT
the center of the piston rod Is attached
the bearing shaft, which acts to the
cam groove. AS one piston fires, its OPP
posing piston is on compression and fires
Immediately after the completion OF the
power stroke of its mate, giving a shut
tle-like action.

Behind the cylinder case is the gear
case, the distributors, supercharger and
carburetor The engine IS 48 inches
long and 16Ss inches in diameter.
Explaining the advantages Of the en-
Fine, Franklin says the first has fewer
working parts to wear out; smooth, Vi
brationlesS operation because Of the
cushioning of the power stroke at its
end with the compression stroke of the
opposing piston; less weight per horse
power, and compactnesS.
Every other cylinder Of the engine
may be removed and replaced with
plates to make an 8-cylinder engine of
approximately 200 horsepower.
viii Be Thoroughly Tested.
Franklin's work is being financed
principally by Miles City citizens. He
is assisted by John T. Sugars, also of
Miles City, young mechanical engineer.
Franklin was induced to come to Kan
sas City to build his engine through
efforts of z. e. Porterfield, jr., president
of the American Eagle Aircraft Com
pany, who believes In its possibilities.
Franklin says the engine probably will
not be placed in plane until next
Spring after thorough tests.

AUTO ENTRY IN AIR
FIELD IS HELD BOON
Quantity Motor Production
Expected to Cut Cost
of Plane Types.
BY DON BROWN.

(Copyright, 1e2e by the North American
Newspaper Alliance)
The recent entry OF several OF the
largest manufacturing organizations OF
the United States into the production
of aviation motors on a quantity basis
makes it safe to predict that the costs
of the smaller types of airplanes soon
NAV be within the reach of the aver
age automobile owners pocketbook.
Aviation motors generally represent
so per cent of the cost OF an alrplane.
If they can be brought down to rea-
Sonable basis, the total cost OF the air.
plane itself can, of course, be reduced
more sharply than 1t could by any other
means.
Typical of the above trend is the
entry of the Lycoming Manufacturing
Co. into the airplane motor field with
a nine-cylinder, air-cooled radial type.
General Motors also has started the
production of moderately-priced en-
CINE.
Lycoming Develops lS5 HIP.
The Lycoming engine. which was de-
signed under the direction OF Val
Chonstedt, is rated at l85 horsepower
at 1900 revolutions per minute and
weighs 470 pounds.
Reliability has been the first con-
sideration in designing it, Mr. Cronstedt
says. doc" Kinkatd, famous aviation
engine mechanic, who has figured in
several of the outstanding overseas
flights, is associated in the production
and distribution of the engine.
Production models Of the Lycoming
engine and the General Motors aviation
engine attracted much attention dur
ing the recent automobile show in New
York.
Radical Type Motor Demonstrated.
A radical type of airplane motor,
which its inventor claims win reduce by
one-half the motor weight necessary to
produce q given horsepower, Is being
demonstrated privately In Boston. a.
The inventor is Harry A. Palmer OF
Dorchester, Mass, an automobile me-
chanic Of IS years experience. The
demonstration model weighs 81 pounds
and produces 56 horsepower ut $50 rev.
olutions, he states.
The fundamental difference in the
Palmer engine over previous designs is
the use of the cam as means of trans
hitting power from the cylinder to the
crankShaft.
In early motor construction. the cam
was a device for controlling the action

Synchronizing their movements with
those of other parts. So far as 1t is
known, no one has ever before made
crankshaft go round by power pressure
against giant cam.
BY Palmers construction, half the
moving parts of an ordinary motor are
eliminated, including valves, tappets
and lot of parts which cause trouble.
It is air cooled and has no fabrication
system whatever. going back to the old
two-cycle system of mixing OIL and gas.

Geo. III. Garrison of Reming-

Make Inspection
TO CLARITY MYSTERY
Will Give Talk to Sank Centre
Isaak Walton League Mon
day Evening

Geo. H. Garrison, noted gun ex-
pert of the Hall-Mills murder case,
and for thirty years with the Rem
ington Arms Co., will be in Sank
Centre, May rs, 26 and q. He will
make his headquarters at the Palm
err House.
On Monday evening, May q, at
eight o'clock, he will give a talk
before the Isaak Walton League
members of this city and all 9th
ers Interested in the use of fire
arms. He viii explain the care,
safety while using, and other bal
listic matters pertaining to guns.
He will also give advice on the best
ammunition to use for the shooting
Of various game.
Mr.. Garrison has had many in
teresting experiences during his
career as a gun expert, and has
been called to the witness stand to
give expert testimony in murder
cases. The most important case he
has worked on was the Hall-Mills
murder mystery.
Following his visit to this city
Mr.. Garrison will go to st. Cloud
where he will examine the gun and
bullet which was found near the
body of Nightwatchman ]. F.
Rosenberger.
The Herald at no time believed in
the accidental death theory in the
Rosenberger case and in this has
the backing of many people of this
community. When it was found
that Mr.. Garrison was in this
state, and owing to this general dis
satisfaction, he was asked to study
the gun and bullet.
Mr.. Garrison can tell positively
whether or not the bullet that. kill
ed Mr.. Rosenberger was fired from
his own gun.
AS stated in the Herald some
time ago this bullet was slightly
different from the others carried in
the officers gun, although it was
of the same calibre. He can also
determine definitely whether or
not the charge behind the bullet
was such that would permit the
bullet to pass through the bones
of the head and then fall to the
floor of the building near the spot
where the officer was found
slain.
In case more than one shot was
fired it will be possible to tell what
the bullet found encountered in its
fight and whether or not it was
the missile that killed Dad"
In conversation with represen.
tative Of the Remington Arms Co.
one Of The Herald owners was as
sured that the findings of Mr.. Gar.
rison in this case would be sent tc
us following the examination. This
should prove of intense interest tc
the people of this community and
may be the means of solving the
mystery connected with the death
Of Mr.. Rosenberger.
Mr.. Garrison is an interesting
talker and his lecture in this city
will be educational. Everyone IN.
terested is cordially invited to at.
tend the meeting here.
