Big Assignment

The expression. IAN army
marches on its stomach" Is an
age-old military axiom. But none
Of history's famous generals. were
faced with the problems of rapid
transportation supply which con-
front todays modern motorized
army.
How we'll this problem Is being
solved through the team work of
commercial haulers and army
trucks was graphically demon
strated in the recent transfer of
$4,000 soldiers of the 9Th Division
from Fort Custer, Mich, to Camp
Forrest. Tenn.
In this maneuver, requiring 10
days, every pound OF food con-
sumed along the route, excepting
fresh milk and ice cream, was
brought along by truck from the
divisions base in Michigan. Driv-
ing day and night, detouring from
the arInys route to pick up ice for
refrigeration, travelling total
distance of 42,640 truck miles,
these supply vehicles delivered
over 400 tons OF food. including 81
tons Of fresh meat. 30 tons of po-
tatoes, As tons of bread and sc, 900
pies.

A new carburetor heat control
that gives peak engine power and
economy under all operating con-
ditions has been perfected by
Willys-Overland engineers in de-
signing the 1912 WHY'S Americans
unveiled at Toledo. according TO
Delmar G.. Roos, the conpany's
chief engineer.
Through q unique use of .
thermostatic Device" Ross said,
"engine heat In tho new 1912
Americans Is used to produce .
more efficient mixture and dis
tribution of gasoline and air
from the carburetor. This 'dy-
manic heat valve automatically
and continually compensates for
changing conditions of outside
temperature and the engines
speed"
The auto expert explained that
most cars suffer from a lack Of
sufficient manifold heat at low
speeds and Zoo much Of il az high
speeds" At low speeds, he said,
there Is often so little movement
of air through the carbuertor and
past the atomizing jets that with
out plenty of heat the gasoline is
insufficiently vaporized for eff
Gent combustion. At high speeds,
on the other hand. this air is
sucked past the jets at better than
100 miles an hour: this tears
the liquid gas into minute shreds
and makes for perfect distribution
to the cylinders without the aid Of
extra heat"
The wide variations i'm Summer
and Winter temperatures. too, he
explained, affect the gas mixtures
need for more or less heat.
"a control device which falls
TO compensate for this" Roos
said. naturally can't be ex-
pected TO meet the changing
demands from zero tempera-
lures I'm Winter TO temperatures
that may soar above 100 degrees
In Summer months"
Roos pointed out that constant
and precise control of the dgines
heat Is an important aid TO fuel

Schedules Still in Doubt

While manufacturers are get
ting ready to come out with their
new models, the struggle in WASH
ington on production schedules for
the first three months goes on.
William S. Knudsen, head of the
OPM, on his recent visit to De-
troit, stated that he believed the
matter would be ironed out some
time this week. But Indications
are that IL may be the end Of the
month before some definite figures
come out of the capital.
Meanwhile, inventories of new
cars in dealers hands are rapidly
dwindling. On July 1 there was
only about a two weeks supply,
figured at the 1941 selling rate.
The pace. however, has slowed up
considerably but there Is every in
dication that the showrooms will
be clean of 1941 cars before the
1912 models appear.

Defensive Drivers
Urged 10 Cut Toll

II every automobile owner
would ecome a defensive
driver" there would be no more
automobile accidents. This strik-
ing assertion is made in a COM
prehensive textbook on Motor
Vehicle Driving Practices" which
has just been issued to 1900 en-
ployes of the Atlantic Refining
Company.
A defensive driver" was de-
fined as one who makes allow
ances for the lack Of skill or lack
of knowledge on the part OF the
other fellow-who recognizes that
he has no control over the unpre-
dictable actions OF other drivers
and pedestrians, nor over condi-
tons Of weather and road, and
who therefore develops a defense
against all these hazards"

New Fighter Type
For Army Filters

Development for the United
States Army Air Force Of a new
model of the well known Curtiss
Hawk P-40 pursuit or Curtiss
Tomahawk fighter type which in
corporates substantially better per-
Torrance, greater speed and more
fire power than its predecessor
types has been announced.
The new pursuit type carries
the United States Army Air
Forces designation as the Curtis
Hawk P-40D and marks an impor-
tant addition to the aviation
branch of the national defense pro-
gram. Planes of the new model
already are rolling off the assem-
bly, lines at the Buffalo plant of
Curtiss-Wright Corporation for de-
livery TO the air forces.
The new Curtiss Hawk P-40D is
a more streamlined version than
the original model. The fusilage
has been cut down TO decrease
head resistance, thus improving its
performance. II is powered with an
Allison engine which develops over
100 horsepower more than the pre-
ceeding models, and is equipped
with a three-bladed Curtiss electric
propeller. It's fire power has been
increased 25 per cent over that of
the earlier Curtiss Hawk P-40
pursuit.
No information has been released
concerning the design of the new
type, its speed or other perform
ance.

Tuneup Of Engine
Prime Importance
EXPERT Lists Carbnretion
Ignition, Compression
as Biggest Factors

Confronted by the utmost neces,
sity for conserving gasoline, Roy
w. Utley, assistant service man.
ager OF the Chrysler sales division
mas compiled some timely sugges
tons.
obviously engine tuneup Is
the biggest factor In making the
most out OF the fuel consumed"
says Utley. For this reason I
urge motorists to have their cars
serviced by an establishment
that has the proper equipment
for making the essential tests.
Compression, ignition and car
buretion are the important fac
tors In motor performance and
only when all three are right
can a driver get the mileage TO
which his car Is entitled.
"Valve tappet clearance Is i'm
portant as 1t affects engine per-
Torrance. Adjustments should
be made I'm accordance with
m a n facturer's specifications.
Carburetors should be cleaned
and adjusted to get the proper
ratio of gasoline and air. Be
sure that the float level Is not
set too high. as that causes hard
starting and fuel waste. These
factors should be determined by
a motor analyzer, machine
that gives an absolute recording
with accurate instruments. An
engine that Is not right cannot
pass the analyzer test"
