"A EANY PEOPLE get good and irritated
M by engine noises. Reason enough,
to Shell scientists, for doing something
about them.
But that's only part Of the story. Some
noises are more than nuisance. They're
symptoms Of insidious goings-on in your
engine. They can mean that you're get
ting poor performance. Even heading for
expensive repairs.
That's why Shell scientists are such
sticklers on the subject. And why they
insist that Super Shells nine-ingredient
formula must strike at the causes Of three
different engine noises.
1.Super Shell fights rumbIea rapid-6re,
low-pitched knock that may mean the
beginning Of costly damage.
Fortunately, rumble is rare. But it can

crop up when very high compression
engine is hot, accelerating, and at full
throttle.
Hot-engine knock at high speeds is an
old, familiar problem to Shell scientists.
They first faced it when they developed
an ingredient called Alkylate for aviation
engines. Today, Alkylate is one Of the
nine ingredients in Super Shell.
2. Super Shell fights wild ping-a sharp,
elusive knocking that lasts for few sec
onds and then disappears.
Wild ping is caused by certain red-hot
engine deposits that have worked loose
in the combustion chamber. 1t doesn't
last long, because loose deposits soon
whoosh out with the exhaust.
But while its going on, wild ping is no
friend to your engine. The noise you hear

WARNING: Don't trust your ears
Sometimes it takes an expert to detect the
early stages of rumble or wild ping. You
might even have ordinary knock without
knowing it. Trace knock"-the subtlest
of twelve levels Of knock that Shell scien-
fists can distinguishes almost inaudible.
But even when you scarcely notice
them, these noises can be signs Of

There is another safety fac

From the moment the rock

This elevator was to handle

have meant the difference be-

Capt. Davis job was to make
sure the rocket didn't stray

Danger Over Land
If the missile had been over
land, there would have been
danger. In this case Capt. Davis
would have thrown the de

would be a three-second delay

would fall harmlessly into the
