COLUMBUS, Ind, Aug. o.
Within six months, it is expected
the plant Of the Cummins Engine
Company here will be producing
Diesel engines for trucks and buses,
according to Clessie L. Cummins,
president, who week ago today
completed a transcontinentaI trip in
a Diesel powered truck for which
the fuel cost was only S1122.
Cummins' announcement is in di-
rect contradiction of one a few days
previously BY the Indiana Truck
Corporation of Marion, to the effect
that Diesel engines for buses and
trucks would be turned out by
Oct. l.
He pointed out that his factory
has not as yet produced any engines
OF that type, as the truck used in
the cross country trip had an en-
CINE of marine type. The trip was
made for the purpose of ascertain
ing what changes would be neces-
sary Tor truck and bus use.
Drawings for the new engine are
nearly completed. Within ninety
days it is expected the first machine
. will be on the testing block at the
Cummins plant. After being run
on the block, it will be placed in
truck for further testing. Two or
three months will be required for
this work, Cummins estimates.
