THfi OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM. OREGON SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 15, 1D27 l E FIELD OF ENGINE a a A i t f leyv Mgrine tngme rrom amous Plants Adopted-by B,oat Builders ' " DETROIT, (Special) One of tie most interesting and import ant new developments in the auto motive world has been announce- ent that Walter P. Chrysler has eflnltely entered upon the pro action of marine engines. Closely identified throughout s lire wun transportation : m all phases, the famous builder of four automobiles which bear name has for years been , an usiastic devotee of power ing. His experience in per- ownership and operation of e number of motor boats has ssed upon him the need for hing different, from existing power plants, for a high ed smooth running, quiet dependable engine which bring to waterborne craft kmble free equipment em- in the motors of fine mod- rs. ig fortunately .possessed of ineeriag and manufacturing ahment of enormous re- s and highly skilled person- Ir. Chrysler set himself to the kind of engine he had d,- but not until his engin- d presented him with a de- hich satisfied his ideals did vei the word which started ewly organized marine engine ion on a program' ot actual net ton of the new creation. xhaustive tests by builders and igners of motor boats have ught enthusiastic praise for the jew Chrysler product called by J"t.i creator the Chrysler Imperial Jarine Engine. The first prae eal testimonial of the high fa ,r with which the engine has mi received in the motorboat In i dustry came in its very significant adoption as standard equipment for the new Cris-Craft "Cadet." th latest runabout from the plant t( the Chris Smith & Sons Boat 'mpany, of Algonac, Mich. This nationally' known firm of speed raft bnilders experimentally paw ered their new "Cadet with many of the best known available en Kincs before deciding that in the Chrysler Imperial alone they could obtain 'the speed ability smooth and quiet performance and de cidability they sought as essen- for a boat of the "Cadet" I tifndi 1 The Chrysler Imperial, marine : i i cring InnoTations in its field. .It of the L-head six cylinder type. ith block cast integral with a specially webbed crankcase.

Its three pitch ni-iptahiltty makes it available for bulls or a wide variety of de iKn withoutjflanger of reduced eft'u ieucy. Among the features of the new nsiiLr design are its statically and dynamically balanced crank shaft, which is of usual size J 5-x im hps in diameter and is "'i nipped with seven bearings, all 1?" ami shlmless, bronze-backed, lidiit-ilned and interchangeable. The crankcase and shaft design are productive of exceptionally smooth ; performance even at speeds well over 2500 revolutions per minute, while .the seven bear ing feature not only assures long Hies but yields a degree of free dom from trouble that is said by engineers to be quite extraordin ary. The heavy flywheel, also balanced statically and dynamical ly, is attached to " an integral flange of the forward end of the crankshaft and : enhances the smooth quality of operations. Pistons are of an exclusive Chrysler type, with slotted skirts and five tung-tile concentric rings per piston, and are made of spe cial alloy with bridge type invar steel struts. Lubrication has received spe cial attention in the engine design. The ' crankshaft is drilled for forced lubrication, with pressure supplied by a gear type oil punmp: Prom a two gallon reservoir in the base, the oil is drawn up and forced through a condenser oil cooler to main bearings, connect ing rod and camshaft 'bearings. Cylinder walls and valve mechan ism lubricated from holes drilled in connecting rods and from oil thrown by crankshaft webs. One of the usual advantages that will be available for the new Chrysler Imperial marine engine is the pre-existence of nation-wide service facilities. The service or ganization of the Chrysler corpor ation, extending to every part of the country and numbering more than 5000 members, is to be util ised to the fullest possible extent in behalf of. buyers of the new product. Every Chrysler service representative whose business is located in the neighborhood of a sizable piece of navigable water will be included in the plans for personal training in servicing marine engines. This novel service facility, the exceptional factory capacity and an unusual production program, and the now thoroughly demon strated superiority of the new en gine, are cited by the sponsors of the new marine engine as explan ation of their confident expecta tion of striking success in their new field. It Is already predicted among motor men that the demonstra tion of success of the Chrysler Imperial marine engine is the nimble and speedy "Cadet" will quickly lead to the selection of this power plant by many design ers and builders of motorboats and especially yatch tenders, for which the new motor is described as being ideally salted. In this connection it Is understood that the Chrysler marine englna divi sion is even now conducting tests for a number, of builders inaddi Uon to supply the increasing pro duction requirements of the Cris Craft plaat. ASSISTANT SALES MANAGER $ AMED r Property Owners Agree, to Keep Signs Off Roads According to advice received by the Oregon State Motor associa tion from their representative in Dallas, the owners of property along the Hawthorne highway have agreed to prohibit all ad vertising signs along that road. This makes the placing of an advertising sign impossible along this highway as it is necessary to procure the permission of owners before such a sign can be placed. baGrande April building per mits of $125,800 make $671,005' this year.
