Automobile Investments
Forty-five years ago, nearly
forty different types of automo-
bi1es were being advertised and
sold. In the stocks of the COM
panies making these forty auto
mobiles, there was much specu-
lation. Mr.. Ford's Tin Lizzie"
was the most popular, selling
around $500. while the most ex-
pensive car was the Packard. An
other popular car was the Stude-
baker. whose manufacturer was
once the largest maker of wagons
and carriages. Both the Packard
and the Studebaker since de-
clined in production, resulting in
severe reorganization which eff
fected a combination of the two
companies.
Another very popular car of
those early days was the Hud-
son, while the Nash also forged
ahead. Notwithstanding intensive
advertising and sales efforts. the
production of these two COM
panies also declined. Finally,
after a reorganization, these two
companies were united into the
present American Motors Cor
poration. Thousands Of investors
lost money buying the stock Of
these once popular auto manufac-
turers. American Motors, how
ever, has since put out the RAM
bier, and under a very able
leader. Mr.. Romney. has been
rapidly coming to the fore. While

Reduced Engine
Speed Saves
Tractor Fuel

Considerable annual fuel savings
on farm tractor operations are
possible on light load work if the
tractor operator shifts up and re-
duces engine speed Seventy per
cent of all work performed by a
larger size farm tractor on the
average farm is light load work
Guy w. Gienger, Extension Spe-
cialist in the Agricultural Engi-
! neering Department, University of
Maryland, reports. This means
that 70 percent of the time a trac-
tor is working during yearly opera
, ton it is possible to use the shift
up and reduce engine speed tech
nique for substantial fuel saving
ECONOMY.
Agricultural engineers have done
: some figuring, using what they
consider valid % percent fuel
saved" figure and an annual fuel
bill of $1,000 to show that over a
10-year period a tractor owner can
save S1,960 if he follows the rec
commended shift up and reduce
engine speed procedure.
The sum of $1960 does not in
clude a considerable savings on
parts and service, as revealed by
the following quote from a recent
ly publish Agricultural Engineer
ing paper:
Reducing engine speed and
shifting to higher gears will re-
duce transmission and engine
friction, horsepower losses and
thus reduce fuel consumption"
The practice of shift up and re-
duce engine speed, tractor opera
ton is not new from an engineer
ing point of view, Gienger states,
having been considered for sew
eral years by Agricultural Engi-
neering Department as a highly
recommended procedure.
However, detailed studies show
that the procedure, logical and
simple as it is, is being over
looked by many farmers who
stand to benefit most from its APP
plication.
Gienger emphasizes that two
factors must be present to enable q
farm tractor operator to employ
the shift up and reduce engine
speed technique satisfactorily
Needed are both a moOth-running
engine with a wide RPM range,
capable of producing the varying
power as required for a multitude
of farm jobs, and a transmission
providing numerous speed choices
for various farm applications.
