GERMAN MARK Already Tractor Is Propelled by This Engine Washington, Nov. 16 (P—Soon after the Packard .Motor company’s Tecent announcement that it has in- stalled successfully a new type Diesel engine n an airplane, the department of commerce has been informed by its Berlin trade com- missioner that a new tractor pow-: cred with a Diesel motor has been Pput on the German market. The new German oil-burning tractor, tured with equipment for both agricultural purposes and for street hauling, has attracted much atten- tion within the German motor in- dustry, James K. Wallis, Jr., Amer- ican trade commissioner at Berlin, reported to the department Adaptation of the Diesel oil- burning type of engine, now in common use in ships at sea, to the purposes of the motor or airplane industry, had shown little progress until the recent experiments were completed with success. The National Advisory Commit- tee for Aeronautics has been work- ing on the development of an oil injection engine for airplanes at fts Langley I'ield laboratories for some time, and has reported encouraging progress in its experiments. The Packard Motor company, from ex- periments carried on privately and from aid obtained through the Na- tional Advisory committee, recent- ly perfected a Diesel engine, in- stalled it in an airplane, and flew it with reported success. The new German tractor engine consists of a two-cylinder, compres- sorless Diesel moter having a con- tinuous output rating of 27 horse- power, and a maximum rating of 30 horsepower, at 850 revolutions & minute. The motor has been espe- cially developed for tractor work, with great advantages b 'h in fuel economy and safety of operation. SOMILE SPEEDBY ALTOIST IS SAFE This Is Opinion Given by Noted Singer Detroit, Nov. 16.—(M—Although nearing the half century mark in age, Col. J. G. Vincent, co-designer of the Liberty airplane motor and now vice president of engineering for the Packard Motor Car company, thinks nothing of driving an automo- bile at a 100-mile-an-hour elip, but he believes that most people should not be aflowed to drive more than 60. “There is gome demand among motorists for very high speed, but most of themy want smooth, power- ful, safe operation ~at relatively moderate speeds,” Colonel Vincent says. “We now have automobiles capable of speeding along over highways &t .50 and 60 miles an hour with more safety than we were as- sured & few years ago at 25 miles an hour. Speed itself is not dangerous if the car is capable of being controlled by the driver at all times, but when which is being manufac-| with safety both are a menace. “Since man's vision and ability to react quickly to situations which confront him while drivng are limit- ed, T believe that we can hardly hope to deveiop automobiles which the great masses of motorists will be capable of driving with safety at more than a €0-mile-an-hour gait. Most of them should not drive at speeds above 50." Although Colonel Vincent has very ! definite notions about the average motorist's desires and capacity for high speeds, he often takes one of the cars which he is helping to per- fect and puts it through several laps at 100 miles an hour on the two- mile Packard speedway just outside Detroit. When friends ask him why he does not leave these high speed tests for younger men who are not acting in an executive capacity, he explains ithat the best way to solve an en. i gineering problem i first to under- stand the problem thoroughly and have first-hand knowledge of it. Twenty-five years ago, Colonel Vincent was poring over the ledg- ers of a 8t. Louls commission com- | pany, trying to learn bookkeeping. He did not like his job. In 1898, the year the first Pack- |ard was bullt, he left bookkeeping 1and became a machinist's appren- jtice. A few years later found him | | devoting his inventive genius to the {building of adding machines with |Alvan Macauley, now president of the Packard Motor company, as his ichief. Colonel Vincent later became chief engineer of Hudson Motor Car eompapy, and in 1912 rejoined his old chief in the development of | Packard. Today, at 48, he is vice president in charge of engineering. Plane 63 Inches High Flies 100 Miles an Hour ‘Wichita, Kas., Nov. 16 P—A tiny “flivver” airplane, powered with a three cylinder motor and weighing {600 pounds without cargo or fuel, 'has tried its wings here to the satis- {faction of its designer, Floyd Cope- land. The diminutive plane, slightly more than 23 feet long and only 63 inches high, is designed to carry a man through the air at a speed of 100 miles an hour. Its radial motor develops 50 horsepower at 1,800 revolutions a minute. Department of commerce inspec- tors have approved the models and aythorized the use of a government numeral on the plane.

(® — The largest building in the world withou! structural supports must be built before the Goodyear-Zeppelin cor- poration can proceed with construc- tion work on the two giant navy: dirigibles for which contracts have been awarded. | While the new navy dirigibles will be 785 feet long, 15 feet longer than the Graf Zeppelin, Germany's air Leviathan, the hangar in which they will be constructed must be 1,200 feet long, 360 feet wide, 200 feet high, and be free of pillars or other structural supports. Goodyear officials have selected the site of the hangar in Akron. Because the Akron rubber organ- ization, headed by P. W. Litchfield, | has acquired sole rights to the air- {ship patents, processes and rights | of the Zeppelin company for North { America, it is considered likely that || |the city chosen for the site of the |new hangar will become the center | of lighter-than-air development both | |f- © commercial and military pur- poses in North America. Five years are expected to be re- {quired in the construction of the |first of the two ships provided in {the $8,000,000 contract awarded to the Goodyear-Zeppelin company. A {minimum of 600 men will be em- | ployed in the construction of the huge ships, with the possibility that | many more will be used to speed the work. The, new navy dirigibles will not {only be larger in every detail than | |the largest airship in service today, | but will have many special engi- neering devices expected to be of {vast military importance. They will {be able to carry airplanes, release |them and pick th>m up in full flight. This will be accom- lished by build. |ing into the hulls of the ships a |complete airplane hangar, capable of housing fiv large planes. The planes will be raised or low- ered on a trapeze swinging through the large sliding doors in the bot- ton of the hangar. Airplanes in- tended for use on the dirigibles will be equipped with special hooks above their wings for attachment to the trapeze, ounces 1l-size iscuits rrer it A GREAT STORE IN A GREAT CITY The Pursuit of Happiness!
