Added Dollar Value
Found in Styling and
Efficiency Of Models
1o4l Autos Are Bigger,
Engines Designed
For Fuel Economy

In longer, wider, better looking
and easier-to- drive 1941 cars, the
motor industry offers evidence once
more that chronological progress
continues to produce added value
for the motorists dollar.
Notable increases in value are
found this year, ranging from the
visible achievements in styling and
color to more power and efficiency
under the hood and new trans
mission developments beneath the
floor boards.
The cars are bigger. Front and
rear seats are wider in most cases.
The overall length of 13 leading
makes increased from 1854 inches
by weighted average to 2007 inches
in the l941 products. Shipping
weight has gone up, on the average,
10 pounds per car.
The roomier cars, however, posed
problem in fuel economy which
the engineers have solved by re-
markable increases in engine eff
cheney. They improved manifolding,
revised cylinder-head design, de-
veloped better carburetion and
sharply increased compression ratios.
Efficiency of the 194l engines reach
es almost the absolute peak with
present fuels.
AS a result of these engineering
achievements, representing a vast
amount of research and expert
mentation, the industry is able 10

more gasoline than did its smaller

The new engines also offer more
power, virtually all models showing

for II leading makes is 968 hnrs--
power in the 1941 cars compared
with 923 in the preceding model.

Torture Tests Keep
Your Auto From
Torturing You
Every Part Of Machine
Takes q Beating
So You Won't

Torturing automobiles so they
can't torture you is new trick of
the modern motor mills. In labor
atories and on proving grounds,
many tests are made to assure
engineers that their products will
stand the gaff, and in this process
of pounding parts until they crack
up, the worst Of troubles literally
are made to order.
1t starts with torture tests for the
engine. Then individual units of
the chassis are subjected to every
known method for proving stamina.
Finally, the whole car with body is
put through the PAGES. Most Of
the materials and metals that 60
into a car are thoroughly proved
before they are shipped to the
automobile plants, but if they are
to be used for some special purpose,
they are promptly tested in their
new role.
A perfect example is the checking
of rubber engine mountingS. One
machine used for this purpose pro-
vides for graduating the tension
much as you would adjust weights
on giant scales. At 1900 pounds,
the rubber still stays bound to the
metal!
Flywheel Won't Fly OF.
Now take the flyWheel. How do
you know 1t isn't going to burst
when you are trying to reach the
top limits Of the speedometer?
Don't worry; the car maker has
satisfied himself that the fywheel
will remain intact way beyond the

Sample f1ywheels are whirled around
in special pit until they explode.
This may not happen until $4,000
revolutions per minute. Your en-

Hurricanes, cloudbursts and dust
storms are ordered to see what a
car will take. Usually, the car
comes out victor. And when some
unit of the car refuses to give up
the ghost, engineers naturally fear
they have overlooked its real weak
ness. New tortures are conceived.
In one manufactured downpour,
water and wind beat fiercely
against six Windshields mounted

mine if the wipers could work
against abnormal resistance such
as might be imposed by having
their shafts bent or binding, or If
there were a leak in the suction

All parts are made much stronger
than necessary, as a precaution

known as the factor of safety.

He asks that bills of unusually large
denomination be noted and report

acters be noted, because the F. B. I.

Reading the Oil Gauge

Sudden drop in oil pressure
usually means that oil has thinned
out and that the engine is over
heating. Now and again, this may
be due to the pressure regulator. A
gradual drop to a lower reading,
with the engine running cool and
the oil of the right amount and
grade, indicates wear on the engine
bearings. Fluctuation of the guage
means that there is too little oil in
the crankcase. If there is an
obstruction in one Of the oil lines,
pressure will rise, not fall.

One of the leading manufact-
urers set up a field engineering
camp at Phoenix. Ariz., to test
engines with hurricanes of alkali
dust which is so fine 1t penetrates
more readily than dust found any
where else in the country. Death
Valley is the scene Of many OF the
heat wave tests. Here engineers
bow to nature, recognizing that, in
many cases, the natural wonders
of America are more ideal for test
ing than synthetic handicaps.
Nature, however, Is no match for
the chassis dynamometer which
enables engineers to build any kind
of hill under the car while the
driver is sitting still. Synthetic
roads of this sort are so effective
in testing cars, they are coming
into great popularity in super-ser-
vice stations as well. With the
rear wheels turning on rollers, and
the car stock still, enough resist
ance can be set up to initiate
everything from long drive in
the deep sand or mud to a trip up

One of the big producers uses a
