NATURE OF ENGINE
KNOCKING DEPICTED
Wonders of Chemistry De-
scribed by T. A. Boyd in
Recent Address.

Moving pictures of combustion in a
gasoline engine which reveal the ma
ture of engine knocking, and other re-
cent developments in research on anti
knock fuels, are described by T. A..
Boyd of the General Motors Research
Laboratories Detroit. Mich, in recent
address before the New York section Of
the American Chemical Society on Re
cent Advances in the Chemistry Of
Motor Fuels" at Havemeyer Hall, Co
lumbia University DR.. j. @. David
son of the Carbide & Carbon Chemi-
Gals Corporation, New York City, chair
man Of the section, presided.
100000 Chemists.
There are 25,00O,0OO chemists in the
United States-an average of one chem
LIST per family" said Mr.. Boyd In case
you are surprised at this it may be
said that the number given is in addi-
ton to the 18 or so thousand of us con-
ventlonal chemists who are already
members of the American Chemical
Society, and to the several thousand
conventional but non member chem
lists whom the Membership Committees
are still working on-at least they are
supposed to be working on them.
The chemists just referred to are
our automobile engines. There are
CINE is a discriminating analytical
chemist. A gasoline engine can detect
differences in chemical constitution be-
tween two fuels handed TO it more
quickly and with greater certainty than
can the best organic chemist present,
If the composition of the fuel Is not
what it ought TO be, the engine an
nounces the fact decisively in the form
OF the complaint called knock.
Gasoline Mu=. Be Plentiful.
The ideal gasoline must be plentiful.
1t must be cheap it must have a high
content Of energy, 1t must be easy to
Vaporize and II must be knock-free.
Gasoline, as we now know 1t, meets all
OF these requirements, excepting only
the last one In respect TO the item
of being altogether tree from knock,
gasoline is far from ideal.
With regard TO the TWO properties
of being plentiful and cheap, it is in
teresting 10 compare the prices that
people pay for energy at the filling sta
ton with those that they have to pay
for 1t at the grocery store. The man
who buys bread pays 10 times as much
fer energy as the man who buys gaSo-
line. The energy equivalent of a gall
lon of gasoline in potatoes costs over
$3.50, in butter il costs IS, and in eggs
1t costs more than SIS. No wonder a
hen does so much advertising after
she has laid an egg. Eggs should be
hard to sell. At filling station they
would be.
Whether these illustrations help you
to realize il or not, it is fact, and a
fortunate one, that gasoline Is quite
cheap. And of course no one denies
that it is plentiful-altogether too plen-
tiful now perhaps

SIGNS OF PROMISE
SENIOR TRUCKS
N. A. c. c. Leader Predicts
Bright Outlook for
1881.

Ability Ito deliver the goods" under
the most adverse conditions was DEM
onstrated effectively by commercial
motor vehicles in 1880. During a
12-month period Of hand to-mouth"
buying, industries found it necessary
to ship merchandise in small lots to
buyers on demand. TheN turned to
the motor truck, which hauled millions
of tons with a service and economy
that no other carrier could duplicate.
Truck Production in 1880.
American manufacturers produced
SOL 800 motor trucks in 1880, 80 per
cent less than the record production of
1929, but a comparatively small de-

Automobile racing is rapidly coming

Greater Latitude Promised.
Greater latitude in the types of cars
sanctioned, including the return OF the
two-man cars, which brougnt the auto
mobiles on the track and speedway
more in line with those driven by the
motoring public, largely accounted Tor
the renewed interest in racing during
the last II months, declared Capt.
Rickenbacker.
The astonishing feature, said the
noted racing authority, was the 1act
that speed, the lifeblood OF the speed
wav. was not sacrificed and the Two
man cars proved to be Almost Il mut Us

used. while there was wider margin
of safety for drivers He continued:
Racing in 1880 gave new promise
from every standpoint. This Is true
from that of the fraternity OF racing
drivers who found new encouragement
and the opportunity for larger returns.
From that of the manufacturers, VINO
saw in the raising of the bars an APP
,,roxin1ation of the cars they make and
sell IT was true also from the stand
rnint of the public, which found in the
1oeu era of racing a relief from the me-

way.
Change in Regulation.
Careful examination of racing from
every phase had developed that the
hi9hlv specialized cars had undoubtedly
lost some of their appeal to the pubic
Equally as important, they were beyond
the ambitious drivers without financial
backing. The margin of safety was not
as wide. So after concluding TINS sur

back and specifications changed to en-

were limited to a minimum weight OF

to two valves per cylinder, and two car
buretors to each motor. Superchargers
were barred.

Ammeter Checking

How many owners think to have the
ammeter checked over?
At this season of year. when 1t Is i'm
portant that the charging rate be suf-
ficient to supply the extra lighting and
starting requirements. 1t is a good plan
to have a mechanic place testing am
meter in series with the one on the car
to determine If the latter is accurate
Several things can happen to the am
meter itself
The needle, for instance. may be-
come bent. Frequently 1t gets out OF
celebration or the glass over the face
may be cramping it. In some cases the
ammeter spring is found to be broken.
These conditions are quite apart from
the several places in the ammeter cir
cult where there may be loose connec-
tons II the battery Is installed incor-
rectly or the wires to the ammeter are
reversed. the instrument will read Just

crease when world economic conditions
are considered.
Manufacturers produced 576.540
trucks in l928-the record year up to
that time
There are several causes for the tenn
porary falling off in motor truck pro-
duction. During the depression less
traffic was moved, due to the suspen-
sion of trade and industrial activity.
This cannot be interpreted as show
ing a diminuticn in the need for truck
service.
Because of the unusual amount of
wear and tear on the trucks during the
last 18 months in which period the
purchase of new equipment has been at
a subnormal rate there has accumulated
a bank of consumers demands which
should speed up truck output with the
livening of general business activity.

With a return to increased industrial
activity, the motor truck will be more
in demand than in the past. It has
already proved itself an economic neces-
sity in the short haul. The demand for
the truck in this field will increase with
the speeding up of production.
Aid of Agricultural Field.
The agricultural field will extend its
use of the truck because of it's bene-
fits in the movement of perishable fruit
and vegetables, which must be turned
over promptly to prevent spoilage.
Thousands of persons will be en-
ployed and hundreds of motor trucks
will be used in connection with the
Federal and State highway programs.
When the roads are completed, more

Watt used the arbitrary fgure $4,000
pounds instead of 32,40O and, IL ia sup

round number. In 1914 Watt wrote an
account Of the origin of the standard
horsepower:
Some description Of the steam en-
gine's power. which should be easily
understood by the persons who were
likely to use them, was needed"

shippers will purchase trucks to use on
them whenever it proves economical.
Although the foreign sales Of Ameri-
can-made trucks, in keeping with the
general business trend, dropped from
5389z9 in 1929 to 1911 900 during the
last year. the future in this field looms
bright. Use of American trucks in
foreign countries multiplies rapidly, as
financing them is comparatively easy
because banks recognize their essential
usefulness in promoting progress.

about 1850. soon after steam engines
were developed to a point where they
could be put TO practical uses. Many
of the early engines for use In the
mines, mills, brewerieS and distilleries
in England were made by James Watt,
and In most cases they replaced horses,
which had been previously used to de-
velop power. 1t became necessary for
Watt to devise some striking and easily
understood illustrations OF the power
OF his engines and the work they could
perform, in order that he might give
customers and prospective users an idea
of the adaptability of his machines to
their uses. Since the engines were to
replace horses he talked of the power of
his engines, as compared to the power
of a certain number of horses. Quoting
from Watt and the Steam Engine"
In Watts Blotting and Calculation
Book under cate of August. 1882, we
read: Mr.. Worthington of Manchester
wants a mill to grind and rasp logwood
and to drive a calender, the power for
all of which is computed to be about
that of twelve horses. Mr.. Wriggley,
the millwright. says a mill-horse walks
IN a circle "a feet in diameter and
makes 2 y turns per minute. Two-and-
one-half turns equal so yards per
minute, say at the rate Of $50 pounds
per horse"
Used Round Numbers.
Watt then proceeded to work out the
size of the engine: Sixty yards times
equals $50 times 1870 pounds equal 3,240
divided by 100 feet of piston's motion
equal 270 pounds times IL horses equal
3,240 pounds load of cylinder, which at
pounds per square inch equal 29-inch
cylinder, feet stroke, 20 per minute.
