Bigger Cruising Range

GM claims that the cruising
range is increased by the fleXi-
bility of the engine arrange
ment. coupled with the use Of
the variable pitch propeller.
The propeller eliminates criti-
cal materials formerly used for
reduction and reverse gears.
The space economy is accom-
plished by the design of the
Series II Diesel which permits
placing blower, starting motor.
generator and other accessories
on either side OF the engine and
rotation Of the crankshaft a
either direction BY placing the
accessories on the "out" sides,
the engines in each pair can
be located close 10 each other.
This permits mounting of the
engines in the base in such A
way that all four engines are
attached 10 a gear box located
centrally.
The power is thus geared 10
the propeller shaft beneath the
center of the entire assembly.
Controls are located al one side
Of the centralized gear box.

BY WARD SCHULTZ
Times Financial Editor

Ben King, manager OF Chrys-
,ler's big plant in England. is
)jbsck home for the first time in
four years-back with a slight
ly English accent, a voracious
appetite for good food and an
intense desire TO see all OF the
new war plants which have
sprung up since he left United
States.
Ben King talks admiringly
about the blitz on London
which now seems part of far
distant history-and OF British
psychology and of the job
they're doing in the war.
And he frankly admits that
our Allies of the tight little isle
are seriously planning for post
war business.
Their new factories are a
problem for them, too" he
said. "They expect to keep
them running after the war on
reconstruction business and eX-
port markets."
