' " 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."

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

for a boat of the "Cadet"

raft "Cadet" a speed of 32 to
':' miles an hour. 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.

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.

HARD TEST ON CARS
(Continued rrom paga 1.)
"The use of rented cars is grow
ing rapidly among many kinds of
concerns. Of course a part of our
custom comes from tourisjts who
hire a car to drive about a strange
city, fully two thirds of' our rent
ing, I should say, is done to busi
ness firms and their employes.
Traveling and local salesmen, pro
fessional men. real estate brokers,
collectors, representatives of pub
lic services and of city and state
government departments are on
our lists as regular patrons. De
tectives find our facilities excep
tionally convenient, and even pro
hibition enforcement officers come
to us. Bootleggers? Well, per
haps. But We don't take their
business if we know them. We
are not eager to have valuable
automobiles confiscated, thank
you.
