B0 MILES AN HOUR SEEN FOR PLANES Scientists Working on New! Speed Era “Just Around the Corner.” B7 the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 6.—Airplanes capable of 800 miles an hour, autos of 500-mile speeds and motor boats of 250 miles are among the prospective de< velopments of the new era “just around the corner” on which scientists are now quietly but confidently working. This round-up of scientific work is issued in an American Chemical Society prospectus of its coming convention in Washington the latter part of March, Some of the Nation's leading chemists, physicists and industralists are expected to confer at that meeting. Cites Recent Increases. “Motors,” says Dr. Gustav Egloff of Chicago, in making the speed predic- tlons, “have driven airplanes in excess of 400 miles an hour, motor cars more than 250 and speedboats more than 120, Common cruising speeds for modern motor cars are now about 65 miles an Bour. Ten years ago their average was “An immense amount of research is going on to anticipate lubrication needs of the future, when more than double the speeds of those now in practice are attained. Few realize the vast differ- ences lubrication requirements tween &n engine driven at 65 miles hour and one driven at 35. Up to 35 Jubrication offers few problems, but at 65 and at 400 miles an ment of lubricating oil is most severe.! Another item is development of sluminum foil as a heat saver. This r-t] material reflects heat from surfate much as light is reflected to the eye. Finds Heat Insulator. Ralph B. Mason, research chemist, of New Kensington, Pa.. says his experis ments indicate that by careful design the efficiency of aluminum foil insula- :fil" can be made to approach that of ] air. Its use is important where 1t i desirable to decrease the weight Jead and increase the pay load. ‘The best results, Mason states, come from quarter-inch spacing between sheets of the foil. It may be hung inside trucks carrying foodstuffs to curtain out the heat. Purer air for cities is forecast by Prof. D. B. Keyes of the University of Illinols.
