No tren!u ever dreamed a picture
of hades that begins to approach the
actual awfulneas of events that oc
cur In an automobile cylinder dur'nK
the- combustion or explosion stroke.
The lurid word picture of the here
tter painted by the most earnest
and energetic theologians of the f!re-and-brimstone
school as a haven of
eternal retribution for the luck'fss
transgressors of this mortal olar.e,
pale Into mild InslKnificance when
the hot, deafening, swirling fu.-y of
the interior of a fast-running auto
mobile engine is contemplated. Their
promise of scurching fire, flashes -of
blinding light, choking fumes, paral
yzing roars, as the elements clafrh
and lock and reclash in unendi::
rataclvsmic battle la appealing in
loveliness when compared to the ter
rors of hell let loose the instant that
ethereal blue spark Jumps between
thei points of the plug, thereby un
chaining the forces of a super-de-moniacai
region.
Most people hold the view rnat
what takes place inside the engine is
rather complacent. A spark occurs,
the mixture burns and gently but
firmly pushes the piston down on its
power stroke. They think of the
spread of flame through the closely
packed charge In the combustion
chamber as somewhat resembling
progress of coffee up through a lump
of sugar. To an extent this view Is
correct, for this is the way it looks
from afar, but If It were possible for
a man to stand In that very chamber
and watch what transpired the scene
would be decidedly different.
Some Action Noted There.
If a man, by some process of magic,
could render himself Immune to the
terrific heat and raging elements
therein and could reduce In bulk to
such a small fraction that he could
tuck himself away In one corner. If,
too. he could quicken his senses suf
ficiently to see and understand an
event that requires but an Jnfinitesl
mal fraction of a second, he would
witness a sight that probably cannot
be equaled either in reality or im
agination. In a modern engine run
ning 3000 revolutions per minute an
explosion takes place in each cylinder
25 times per second and the explo
sion itself Is completed In less than
1-200 of a second. Therefore to see
what actually does happen would de
mand extraordinary ly rapid observa
tion. Obviously no one has seen nor
knows what actually occurs In detail,
but the matter has been sufficiently
studied so that it Is possible to con
struct a reasonably accurate picture
of what goes on within the Iron walls
of the cylinder.
The appearance of the spark Is
directly followed by a white hot flash
as the mixture takes fire and the tem
perature rises tremendously, clinging
above 3000 degrees Fahrenheit. Just
bow hot this Is can be best appreci
ated when it is recalled that water
bolls at 212 degrees. So the gases In
this diminutive furnace are almost
IS times as bot as boiling water.
The pressure, too, has gone up to
crushing proportions, somewhere In
the neighborhood of 300 pound per
square inch.
Cylinder Hot Maelstrom.
The gas confined in the combus
tion chamber, both before, during and
after explosion. Is not stationary nor
nearly so. On the contrary, the space
is swept by hurricanes of unbeliev
able savageness and ferocity which
lash the staunch wall of cylinder and
piston head and are thrown back:
again into the hot maelstrom.
These terrific wind storms are
caused by a number of factors. In
the first place there is nothing slow
or dignified about the rate at which
the charge la sucked into the cylinder
from the carburetor during the Intake
stroke. When the engine is running
full tilt the rate of travel of the
charge in the intake manifold is in
excess of 60 miles an hour. That in
itself Is no small speed for a wind of
air laden with gasoline vapor. There
is good reason, too, to believe that
there is at least a brief Instant dur
ing the suction stroke when the speed
of entry of the gas Into the cylinder
rises w-ay above this figure, perhaps
as high as 150 miles per hour.
Once the gas is in the cylinder,
there is nothing but the friction of
the gas Itself to reduce this awful
speed. Consequently it is safe tp
assume that the gas when confined
in the cylinder dashes back and forth
hither and thither, from wall to wall,
setting up wind storms of terrific
force but without system or direc
tion. Additional Energy Given.
The gas has some opportunity to
spread itself during the compression
stroke, but it is given addlitional
energy by the upward motion of the
piston. The piston in an engine with
a alx-lnch stroke running 3000 revo
lutions a minute attains a maximum
speed of more than 50 miles an hour.
It starts from rest at the beginning
of the compression stroke and comes
to rest again at the top of the com
pression stroke for a brief instant
before it starts down again on the
explosion stroke. Yet despite its start
ing and stopping it averages 34 miles
an hour for the entire trip, and In
doing so actually attains a maximum
of more than 60 miles an hour. Nat
urally the extremely rapid motion of
the piston, since it Is in direct con
tact with the gas. must impart Its
motion more or less to the gas and
thus augment its swirling movement.
A little before the piston reaches
the top of the compression stroke
the spark occurs and Ignites the gas.
Although It explodes or rather burns
with great rapidity, it is not quite
correct to say that the whole mass
goes off with a bang. On the con
trary, the gas adjacent to the spark
is first ignited and combustion pro
ceeds from this point along the sur
face of an ever-growing sphere whose
perfect form is marred by the shape
of the combustion chamber. It Is
analogous to blowing a bubble. Sup
pose a small clay pipe were inserted
in 'the cylinder at the point where
the spark plug Is and that a bubble
was gradually blown. As lonj as the
bubble did not come into contuct with
the cylinder walls it would be per
fectly spherical In form, but as It
gcew larger and made contact with
the walla it would flatten out at
these . points since progress was
blocked.
The combustion wave, which starts
from the point of the spark plug, re
sembles a bubble only in form. There
is nothing quiet or gentle about the
growth of this wave or blinding fire.
On the contrary it sets up vibrations
of tremendous intensity and power.
In fact, it sets the gas so violently
in motion that it is now said that
some forms of knocks are caused en
tirely by the infernal energy with
which- the combustion wave dashes
itself against the walls of the cylin
ders. There is no way of calculating the
velocity of the wind swirls left In the
wake of the combustion wave, but it
is not likely that their equal has ever
been found on this earth. They must
be enormous, but to atnmpt to say
JiiKt how great would be mere guess
work.
It should not be imagined that
these awful wind storms are quiet.
any more thnei a hurricane is quiet.
If it were possible to be on the
ground and witness their fury there
is no question that the roar would be
deafening, especially during the in
stant that the combustion wave ex
panded to fill the cylinder with white
hot, scorching gas. .
Carburetor AJo Busy.
The carburetor ana intake mani
fold are scenes of violent action alBO.
The air entering the carburetor
rushes by the gasoline jet at a speed
of a mile a minute or more, sucking
out a more or less steady steam of
gasoline, which is partly vaporized
the Instant It is caught up by the
onrushing air. The rest of the fuel
is broken up into very small drops
and carried . along by the intense
velocity of the air. When the speed
ing gas reaches a turn in the mani
fold, the air and the 'vaporized gaso
line make it nicely, but the little
drops of fuel skid out, impelled by
centrifugal force, and impinge against
the walls of the manifold on the out
side of the turn. These drops are
swept off of the walls by succeeding
volumes of air.
The exhaust gases also have a
strenuous time of it. The exhaust
valve opens some time before the end
of the explosion stroke, so that the
gases have partly entered the ex
haust pipe before the piston has
reached the bottom and turned back
on the exhaust stroke. During the
exhaust stroke the piston pushes
most of the remaining gas out of the
cylinder, all that remains being the
small amount that occupies the space
of the combustion chamber when the
piston Is at the top. ' There is no vay
of getting rid of this gas convenient
ly, and so it is allowed to remain,
mixing Itself with the fresh charge
that is drawn Into the cylinder from
the carburetor immediately there
after. This dilution of the new
charge by the exhaust residue which
lies in the combuslon chamber. Is ob
jectionable, but there is no easy way
to prevent It, and so it is "present in
all automobile engines.
Exhaust Is lxplalned.
The exhaust valve closes at the end
of the exhaust stroke or a little
thereafter and the Intake valve opens
about the time that the exhaust valve
closes. While the intake valve is
open the piston moves down on its
suction stroke and thus draws in a
fresh charge. The intake valve re
mains open all during the intake
stroke, and, in fact, does not close
until the piston is started back on
the compression stroke. Both Intake
and exhaust valves are closed during
the remainder of the compression
stroke and during the major portion
of the power or explosion stroke
which follows. .
The intake valve is allowed to re
main open after the intake stroke is
completed because by so doing a
fuller charge is taken Into the cylin
der. The piston, of course, stops
sucking as soon as it reaches the bot
tom of the stroke. But the gas is
coming In through the Intake valve
at such a high rate of speed that it
continues to pile in or pack itself into
the cylinder even after the piston has
completed its suction stroke.
In this way more mixture is ob
tained In the cylinder than would be
the case if the valve were closed the
instant the suction or intake stroke
was completed. The valve is closed
30 to 50 degrees crank travel on the
compression stroke, or in other
words, when the packing action of
the gas has spent itself. Even with
this provision the cylinder is never
quite full of gas at atmospheric pressure.
The sensational feature of the "coach," which Is a combination of coupe and
seilnn, 1m that It 1m to be made on a quantity production basis to sell at a
very small fijfure above the regular open car model.
In the layout shown above the upper picture' shows a side view of
the coach, while the lower view pictures the Inside arrangement. It is
slightly shorter than a sedan, but much larger than a coupe and seats
five persons comfortably. The Hudson-Essex factory expects this car to
have such a demand that it is planning to build almost as many of them as
of open car models. The first of the new "coaches" will be here next week
for display at the C. L. Boss Automobile company's salesrooms.

EARL SECURES 5IETAL PLANT
Feature of Model Jnst Announced
Is That It Will Sell at Very
Little More Than Open Car.
There Is something new under the
sun, after all. Now comes the Hudson-Essex
company with1 an inclosed
Essex car that is in many ways en
tirely distinct from any body type yet
produced by automobile builders. It
Is called "the coach."
Not only is the coach different in
type from any other inclosed car ever
built, but It differs In another very
Important respect that of price. In
keeping with the spirit of the times,
which is for lower prices all around,
it is designed and will be produced
to sell for only a little morf than cars
of the open type.
The first of the new coach models
is due to arrive here next week. It
will be placed on exhibition at once
in the sales rooms of the C. U. Boss
Automobile company, Hudson and
Essex distributor for Oregon. Short
ly thereafter the cars will be coming
through on a large production basis.
It Is through volume production and
selling that the Hudson-Essex com
pany expects to keep the price down
close to that of open car models.
"This new Inclosed Essex," said C
L. Boss yesterday, "marks a step for
ward in automobile .body construc
tion, where a customer can purchase
an inclosed car of the make he can
afford to buy in a touring car model.
at virtually the same price. The fac
tory has produced a real quality in
closed car by a new recipe."
Mr. Boss saw the new Essex coach
while on his recent trip to Detroit.
He places particular emphasis on the
way the Essex coach has been built.
"It attracts, by its sturdlness," he
said. "The lines are difterent,. of
course, than in any preceding car of
Its type, but they are pleasing to the
eye.
"The coach has seating capacity for
five. Wide doors are held solid by
four hinges. There is a dash control
ventilator, a sun visor and a wind
and rainproof windshield. The up
holstery and floor rugs are of a fine
texture of long wearing material. The

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Nov. 2S. Manufac
turers could expand the medium
priced motor-car buying field by im
pressing upon the prospect that It
does not "cost a young fortune to
keep that kind of a car," according to
analysis by the National Automobile
Dealers' association of a number of
Inquiries recently sent to buyers.
Economy was a prevailing considera
tion in the purchase of the car. In
quiries were sent to 100-car owners,
who were divided into 10 purchasers
for each of 10 dealers.
Then, too, this class of purchaser
thinks that the manufacturer leaves
too many things off the car that he
regards as accessories that the pur
chaser looks on as necessaries. For
instance, buyers in this field think
they are entitled to have their cars
come through with theft-proof locke
motometer, spare tire, spotlight and
the like. The man who buys a $500
car may agree that he Isn't entitled to
anything more than a chassis and
body, and one who buys a car costing
more than $2000 may feel able to pur
chase extra equipment; but the man
who buys between $1000 and $2000
feels that he is entitled to something
besides a motor and a place to sit.
Dealers Too Indifferent.
The inquiries as sent out by Gen
eral Manager Moock of the dealers'
association developed some rather In
teresting things that the dealers could
do to sell more motor vehicles. A
number suggested that - cars were
too much misrepresented by salesmen.
Then the sales manager and the sales
men should agree on what represen
tations are to be made by the salee
men. Some sales were lost because
the salesman's story was out of line
with the house policy.
Some dealers are still too inde
pendent "don't care if you buy or
don't" thiis questionnaire reveals, al
though there Is a pretty thorough sus
picion in the trade that that kind of
a dealer is a pretty rare bird now.
Courtesy to the customer was stressed
by all the buyers as being much need
ed among the salesmen in the.trade.
The salesman should get the pros
pect behind the wheel. "Get the pros
pect behind the wheel of our car,"
said one, "and see the sales 'roll up."
20 Per Cent Closed Cam.
Some of the salient facts developed
by the questionnaire were that 20 per
cent of the cars purchased were closed
models, 80 per cent open. The pur
chaser disposed of a used car that on
the average was 28 months old, which
he had driven on an average of 19
months for 17.159 miles.
In purchasing a car the reputation
of the dealer influenced 60 per cent
in the""purchase. In 60 per cent of
the cases It did not. In two-thirds of
the cases the reputation of the manu
facturer was an influence; In 33 per
cent It was not.
Comfort and convenience were con
sidered among 75 per cent; possession
of same make of car by friends a con
sideration in 40 per cent; personal
friendship with the dealer or sales
man a factor in 20 per cent, and trade-
in allowances on used car with 35 per
cent.
A rather unexpected angle to the
price situation was brought out in the
answer to the following question:
"Motor car prices are lower now than
for many months. Did price reduc
tions help you to decide to buv now?"
Seventy-five per cent said price re
ductions had nothing . to do with it.
There were other important consid
erations.

COLD MAY DAMAGE BATTERY
Little Danger, However, If Box Is
Kept Well Charged.
Everybody who drives knows that
the automobile battery contains solu
tion. Experience with radiators has
taught the folly of forgetting that
liquids freeze. So, putting two and
two together, most folks arrive at
the answer in this case the wrong
one that It is hard to protect a bat
tery against freezing." tt. P. Bow
man of Harper, Burg, Inc., local Wll
lard dealers, has this to say about
freezing of batteries: "There was
never a piece of equipment that car
ried with it the preventive of trouble
the way the storage battery does. A
man in his right mind would laugh if
you told him that a tire would be
puncture-proof If kept pumped up, yet
the battery protects itself in a way
just as remarkable.
'If a battery is kept well charged
above 1250 it will be practically
freeze-proof, and will give no cause
for worry even in the coldest weather.
It is when the charge runs low Jack
Frost begins to take an active inter
est in your battery, for with a battery
in a low-cnarge condition it only
takes a few puffs of bis frosty breath
to turn it into a solid block of ice,
or at least freeze it enough to badly
injure It.
"Beware Tf sero weather and - the
battery that runs below 1250. They
are not satisfactory teammates."

Lexington Company Hencefoyth
Will Paint and Trim Own Tour
ing Model Bodies.
CONNERSVILLE. lnd.t Nov. 26.
Frank B. Ansted, president of th!
United States Automotive corporation,
announced today the formation of a
new subsidiary, the Fayette Paint
ing & Trimming company, with a
capital stock of $500,000 in common
shares under the laws of Indiana.
The officers are: Frank B. An
sted. president; Frank M. Crawford,
vice-president and general manager,
and H. E. E. Hanson, secretary and
treasurer. These gentlemen, together
with George W. Ansted and Frederic
1. Barrows, will compose the board of
directors.
A substantial brick plant on south
EaBtern avenue, consisting of two
five-story buildings which comprise
a total of 125.000 square feet of floor
space, has been acquired from the
Rex Manufacturing company, also of
Connersville.
This new institution will be en
gaged exclusively in painting and
trimming open bodies for the Lexing
ton Motor company, the chief subsid
iary of the United States Automotive
corporation, and will have a maxi
mum output of 50 bodies per day.
One hundred skilled workmen are
now employed and more will be added
as rapidly as possible so as to bring
the factory personnel up to 200 within
a short time.
It is estimated by officials of the
company that the gross annual busi
ness will easily reach fl. 000.000.
In commenting on the formation of
the Fayette Painting Trimming
company. Mr. Anstetf has this to say:
"Lexington has long desired to
more directly control its open body
painting and trimming. Circum
stances have now made this possible.
It will be our policy to so improve
the finish of our product that it will
compare favorably with anything on
the market, regardless of prloe.
'.The acquisition of the Fayette
Painting & Trimming company plant
adds materially to our physical prop
erty and will doubtless be as gratify
ing to the thousands of stockholders
in the United States Automotive cor
poration in every state In the unlun
as It is to the officers of the corpora
tion. "In spite of a somewhat Blow mar
ket in all lines. Lexington sales have
shown a surprising strength. I feel
confident that business conditions
will show a slow but sure Improve
ment as the year wears on. And It Is
with this improvement in mind that
we are Increasing our facilities."

ROAD EXGIXKE11 TO HON'OLl'LU
Kxtensive Paving Programme to Be
Carried Out There.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 26. James!
AL Owens, San Franciscos highway
engineer, has left for Honolulu, where
he will act in a consulting capacity
for the city of Honolulu at the be
ginning of one of the biggest paving
projects ever undertaken by the
Hawaiian municipality.
Owens' journey to Honolulu is at
the Invitation of Mayor J. H. Wilson
of that city and at the same time
represents the isle city's recognition
of the high type of street and boule
vard Bystems of this city, with most
of which Owens has been identified.
Honolulu's new street paving and
boulevard construction programme Is
the result of the recent passage of a
bond issue of approximately $1.000.-J
000 for that purpose. When the plans
for that bond issue were first laid
out, specifications for San Francisco's
asphaltlc concrete type of pavement
were followed closely at the sug
gestion of Owens.
During the past few years Owens,
as highway engineer of San Fran
Cisco, has forged ahead to the point
where he Is now one of the leading
authorities on-tilghway construction
in the country. His articles on this
subject have appeared from time to
time in many of the leading trade
magazines.
