Prepared by General Motors No. 6—POWER AND SPEED A TOST of our motor cars will go so much faster than we ever care to drive 2V - them, that no doubt people often wonder why so much speed is built into them in the first place. Of course, automobiles aren't built with the idea of pleasing the manufacturer or the engineer or the salesman. They’re built to suit the men and women who are going to own and drive them. And there are certain things that people do insist on in their cars. It happens that some of those things are of such a nature that when the engineers provide them, an ability to go fast just naturally results. For instance, nearly everybody likes to get going as promptly as possible. Now that’s just a matter of the power we have in our engine and how our car is geared. Then there’s the business of hill-climbing. That may not mean as much in some localities as in others, but cars have to be built to suit us whether we live in Maine or Florida, Iowa or California—wherever we may live and wherever we may want to go. Engineers tell us that they could build a fairly low-powered car that would pull us up the steepest hill. But if they did. they would have to gear it so low that when we got over the top and onto a level stretch, we could only go crawling along at a rate that wouldn’t satisfy even the most conservative drivers. But perhaps the most important reason for hav ing our power what it is in modern cars, is a matter that many of us have never considered. We all know what happens to us, when we, ourselves, are going at high pressure all the time, either physically or mentally. A person can work 12, 14 or 16 hours a day, but we know we get along best when we don't tax our last reserves of energy all the time. In the same way, anybody who has ever run machinery knows that if you keep it going at full capacity and full speed day-in-and-day-out, you’re just multiplying the chances of a breakdown, sooner or later. And that's how it is with a car. By building in the ability to run at high speed, engineers make it prac tical to run at reasonable speed. If our car can go seventy, eighty or maybe even more miles an hour, then it won't have to strain to go thirty-five, forty, or somewhat faster if circumstances demand. So we can drive it along at sensible speeds hour after hour, day after day, without over-working it When we stop to think about it lots of things are built with that added safety margin. Elevators in our of fice buildings could carry far heavier loads than the weight of all the people they can hold. So could modern bridges. The steel girders of our buildings, the rails under our trains—in fact, any number of things we depend on day-by-day— are much stronger than they really have to be. They all have that extra margin of protection. So with our cars, what we have to remember is that speed is simply a by-product of power. We can use that power unwisely, or we can use it sensibly and get better performance and dependability as the result. Manufacturer, can’t decide that It’s all up to us.
