Setting a W orld Speed Record. Continued from Fifteenth Page speed contest such as had not been experienced before. It was put on a systematic basis, and the American Automobile Association put an official and authentic stamp upon the events. Design became more standardized and efficient. In 1919 came the “Packard Special,” a streamlined 12-cylindered aviation motor on wheels. The neat cream-colored racer, driven by the veteran Ralph De Palma, set records for all distances up to 40 miles, some of which still stand. The following year Tommy Milton brought out his unique twin-motored Dusen- berg, the “Siamese Twin” of the motor world. It was the first time that two inotors had been used in the same chassis, two straight eights, each driving a shaft to its rear wheel. This car went the new record speed of 156.4 miles an hour. But in 1922, Sid Haugdahl raised that to 180.27 miles an hour, with a small streamlined creation equipped with a Wisconsin aviation motor, FINALLY, in 1927, came the British—Maj. H. O. D. Segrave with his “Mystery Sun- beam,” and next year Capt. Malcolm Campbell with his “Bluebird.” Although their remarkable records were taken from them by such Ameri- cans as Frank Lockhart and Ray Keech—both martyrs to racing—these were unofficial and the British still hold the speed record for automobiles. Maj. Segrave, startled the world with his lumbering whale of a car, but its looks were forgotten as soon as it took the track on the 28 Feminine name. 30 Low gaiters., 33 Ridiculed. 8 Position in 35 Hermit. addressing a golf 38 Darts. ball. 40 Wife of Geraint. 9 Examiners. 43 Cutting tool. 10 High (mus.). 45 Regale. 11 Thing. 47 American cartoon- 16 Emmets. ist. 18 Hawaiian food. 49 Variety of cabbage. 20 Prophets. 50 Vehicle on 23 Inclines. runners. 25 Tumultuous 51 Crude. disorder. 52 Compass point. 26 Mentally sound. 53 Ocean. 2 27 Circular band. 57 Exist. 6 Viscous black liquid. 7 Killed. Daytona Beach and turned in a speed record of 203.7 miles an hour—the first time man had gone faster than 200 miles an hour. Maj. Segrave's Mpystery Sunbeam, however, was only preliminary to the heavy, powerful, freakish looking creations that followed—Capt. Campbell’s bullet-like Bluebird, rising gradually from a low front to protect the driver from the wingd, with radiators at the side over the rear wheels and streamlined protectors over nearly every jutting part; Ray Keech's “Triplex,” a monster on wheels, with three powerful 12« cylinder motors, two in front and one in back, and utterly regardless of streamlines; Frank Lockhart’s diminutive Stutz “Black Hawk.” with which he tumbled to death in the surf; and finally last year Maj. Segrave's “Golden Arrow,” a long, low,-gracefully streamlined air- plane type racer with which he holds the pres- ent record of 231.36 miles an hour. O fast is this speed that, in order to keep his car on its course, Maj. Segrave had to aim it through a set of rifle sights at targets set up along the way. So fast did it spin its special tires, that one trip was enough to burn them down to the very cord. Yet Kaye Done is reported to make still faster :peed with his 2,000-horsepower racer of two 12-cylinder motors, set tandem. Slung very low, on an exceptionally long wheelbase, the wheels six feet apart, while the body itself is only two feet wide, this car is expected to cut the wind at well over 250 miles an hour, and might ap- proach 300. Even such terrific speeds, of course, are not the highest velocity man has attained. That is the almost unthinkable rate of 337 miles an hour, made in a tiny airplane by an- other Englishman, H. R. D. Waghorn, during the Schneider Cup races of last year, in which the United States did not compete, but in which the British outclassed the best Italy could send against them in the air. It is unlikely that automobile speed records will ever approach those possible in the air be- cause of friction, contact with the ground and other difficulties. But it is extremely likely that both these records, both those of the land and of the air, will be broken before the year ends. Science, which has given to man these ter- rific speeds, has as yet no positive limit. The end is not in sight. (Copyright, 1930.)
