.GM Announces
New Engine for
Sub-Chdserrs
Full Production Starts
Takes Less Space,
Adds Maneuverability

Full production on a revolu-
tionary Diesel marine engine that
occupies only one-third the space
of former designs of comparable
horsepower was disclosed today by
the electro-motive division of Cen
Ieral Motors.
The motor is the result of three
years of experiment both by navy
research men and the corporation
staff under c. F. Kettering, vice
president of GIN.
Used TO power sub-chasers, II
Is said to accomplish an increase
in cruising radius, speed and ma
Ineuverability.
NULNERABILITY LESS
Since the fuel is oil, the engine
also greatly reduces vulnerability
of Sub-chasers TO aircraft attack
The fire hazard Of gas power has
been eliminated.
A new type lightweight variable
pitch propeller is incorporated.
This design permits the reversal
of direction without reversal of
the engine.
This engine Is an unusual
pancake construction" says the >
announcement. consisting of
four banks OF four cylinders
each.
DESIGNED AS UNIT
1.-THE engine reduction gear
and propeller pitch control are
designed as a complete unit, us
ing a beveI piniOn and gear be-
tween the engine and propeller
shaft.
THE engine Is believed To be
the lightest ocean duty Diesel
in the world.
THE weight and space gained
by the design can be utilized
for more fuel or additional
armament and ammunition. Re-
duction in overall weight AZ

has been in production since jan

American motorists achieved an
unenviable all time high record for
traffic fatalities with approximately
10000 dead in l94l, if unofficial but
usually all-too-close advance reports
are substantiated by final statistics,
The last high mark in street and
highway killings was hung up in
1887, with 39,643 dead. Since then,
however, marked Improvement has

more stringent law enforcement and

a slight rise to 34,500 in 1910.

that isn't the whole of the bad news.
The total loss of man-days of pro-
ductive work caused by traffic ac-
cidents in 1871 was in excess of
100000 00-enough to build 5000

in a normal year; in time of war
it becomes criminal and might prove

Safe Winter Driving Rules
Mr.. Harvey offers the following
suggestions for safe winter driv-
ing.
|. Drive at moderate speed. Driv-
ing too fast kills more people than
any other driving fault. Allow
plenty of time to get to and from
work and for trips.
2. Slow down when the road is
slippery with rain. snow or ice. Re-
member that it takes up to 10 times
the DISTANCE to stop car on glare
ice as it does on a dry pavement.
3. Slow down when rain, snow,
] sIeet or darkness interfere with
visibility. Drive slowly enough SO
that you can always stop within the
distance you can see.
4. Don't be a road-hog. Stay in
+ your OWN IdIle except WITCH passing
Don't pass on hills or curves. Don't
jump the traffic signals. Use your
horn only in emergency.
S. Watch out for pedestrians who
may not be paying attention tc
traffic. Slow down approaching in
tersections.
6. Don't drink and drivel If yol
are going to drink, let somebody
who isn't drinking drive your car
