Sun Smiles
Again After
Cold Spell

After nearly week Of fall
like weather, Mount Clemens is
due for a return to more normal
temperatures, the weather man
said today.
Heavy rainfall and cloudy
skies have kept the mercury
from climbing over 80 for the
past week, but slightly warmer
weather is forecast for Thurs
day, with the temperature ex-
pected to 60 into the low sos.
Highest reading Tuesday was
modest rs, "a degrees below
the record 90 set In 1881. At the
same time, /. wa considerably
higher than the low mark Of 81,
set on frigid Aug. IL back in
1903.

lection which does away with
carburetor and shoots fuel direct
from the gas tank into the cylin-
der.
American Air Force men point
out that this new typ of cowling
was perfected by our NACA in
1910 and il is found on both the
Army's Republic PAT and the
Nays sensational Vought-Si-
korsky fighter, the F4U-1, which
will do over 400 miles an hour
and which helped swing the Ar
my back to the radial engine
as a good power unit for fighter
planes.
The advantages of the Focke-
Wulfs BMW engine direct fuel
injection principle are said to
be that it operates at all attitudes
without ever cutting out, and
that it permits the use of lower
grade German synthetic fuels to
give power equivalent to that
developed from the American
high-octane gas. American en-
CINE designers have been giving
considerable attention to this di-
rect fuel injection method.
EXPECT BIG RESULTS
FROM u. S. THUNDERBOLT
If the radial engine is the sec
ret of the Focke-Wulf's superior
ity, however, American designers
are not worried, for the radial
air-cooled engine has been per-
fected in the United States and
it is used on one of the newest
and best US. fighter planes, the
Republic PAT Thunderbolt.
The engine on this plane de-
velops 1000 horsepower, as
against the 1850 h. p. of the
Focke-Wulf's BMW engine.
Equipped with the turbo- super
charger, the Thunderbolt can
work effectively at attitudes
above 10000 feet, which tops the
Focke Wulf's best reported per-
finance. The Thunderbolt is
now in production at the Repub-
lie plant and is also scheduled for
quantity production by one of
the largest U. S.. aircraft manu-
facturers.
None of the Thunderbolts have
yet been shipped to England, but
an engagement between this
plane and the Focke-Wuf Cor the
over-rated Jap zero) should set
tie for the time being the ques-
ton of who builds the best
planes. In one manner of speak
ing, the Focke-Wulf is an at
tempt to match the specifications
Of the Republic PAT.
