UTOMO BILES SPEEDED ON
LOW GRADE FUELS
Harnessing lightning to write a
record, tweney-five times a second,
of the “pick-up” of a motor car en
gine, the Department of Commerce
announced June 29, is the principle
of an apparatus recently constructed
at the automotive laboratory of the
Bureau of Standards in connection
with a study of the influence of fuel
characteristics on automobile engine
acceleration.
The full text of the statement
follows:
Paper tape, perforated like motion
picture film, is fed to a sprocket driv
veil by the engine and passes lie
tween electrodes across which ..
spark is discharged many times a
second. This results in a series of
holes in the tape; the faster the en
gine goes, the greater the distance
between holes.
From this distance between holes,
(lie engine speed can be calculated
in this way, as many as twenty-live
speed records can be obtained in a
second, by regulating the tuning
fork which times the spark.
Pse of this aparatus has diclosod
seveial interesting facts. One of
these is that heating the intake
manifold improves the acceleration,
or “pick up” in practically the same
way as does use of a rich mixture
wastes gasoline, heating the mani
fold is obviously more economical.
Another is that while a highlv
volatile gasoline tends to give better
acceleration than a fuel can be male
to give nearly the same acceleration
as the higher grade one, by use of a
properly designed “accellerating
I well,” a device which is a feature
|of many of the newer carburetors.
With ordinary gasoline more miles
nor gallon can be obtained by inteli
gent use of the carburetor equipped
with an accelerating well, since
equally good performance can be se
cured with a leaner operating mix
ture than with the older types of
carburetor.
