TO DIESEL MOTOR
Father of Self-Starter En
ables General Motors
Start Diesel Building
for Nation's Railroads
Ninety-four per cent of the VIM
tors to Yosemlte national park tn Diesel
1935 traveled by automobile.
By LESLIE AVERY
United Press Staff Correspondent
DETROIT, Jan. 10. ( UP ) Genius
of Charles F. (Boss) Kettering, whose
name 1 synonymous with the self
starter and half doaen other major
development In evolution of the
automobile, haa established General
Motors corporation In another multi
million dollar 'business that of
building Diesel motors for the na
tion's railroads.
Kettering's conversion of a four
cycle, oil burning motor Into a two-
cycle engine capable of generating
energy to propel- the newly popu
lar, light streamline trains was the
factor which launched GMC'a electro-motive
corporation. A huge plant
for building this type of locomo
tive now Is under construction at
McCook, III.
Does Impossible.
Termed as Impossible In compara
tively recent engineering books and
muttered In the same breath with
perpetual motion, the two-cycle mo
tor was perfected by Kettering on
his own yacht In the waters of Lake
Michigan.
The two-cycle operation of any
motor differs from the four-cycle
type now In general use In all mod
ern automobiles tn that power la
generated by two strokes of 'each
piston. Instead of four. In the con
ventional four-cycle engine the fuel
explodes, the piston travels down,
transmitting power to the crank
shaft. Then an upward stroke la
required to clear the explosion
chamber of exhaust gases. Fuel is
sucked Into the cylinder by another
down stroke and compressed on the
upstroke, ready for firing again.
Kettering's Diesel does all of this
in one downward and one upward
movement, cutting tn half the wear
on piston and cylinders. ,
Boon to Railroads.
The depression ridden railroads,
knowing only too well that two
thirds of a steam locomotive's life
spent in the roundhouse and
one-third op the road. Immediately
grasped at this new source of power
In an effort to gain back some of
the business lost to motor bus and
airplane.
Theoretically, the Diesel, requir
ing only a cursory, periodic Inspec
tion, will do the work of three steam
locomotives in addition to eliminat
ing costly coal and water stops. At
first, however, the 9 00-horse power
unit was not adaptable to
heavy duty usage. Its field was con
fined to the light streamline units
until development of a heavy duty
type for the Santa Fe. It appears
to be two highly streamlined bag
gage cars, but In them are four
Diesel driving generators that pro
duce the energy to turn the elec
tric motor which actually propel
the train.
Build 150 Yearly.
The new factory at McCook will
have an ultimate production of 100
"electro motives" yearly, according
to present plans. Cost of each unit
will run between 9300,000 and $400,
000. The two-cycle Innovation still has
not made the Diesel motor prac
ticable for use In the automobile.
It Is said that Kettering has been
unable to adapt the two-cycle fea
ture successfully to a motor of less
than 600 horsepower. But all the
motor manufacturers are experi
menting with Diesel motors, and It
would not be surprising to find
Kettering the pioneer once again.
Few persons who drive an auto
mobile realize the contribution Ket
tering has made to their comfort
and safety. Born on a farm In Ash
land county, Ohio. 1B7, Kettering
overcame many obstacles In his
rise to one of the world's foremost
automotive engineers. Working his
way through all educational Insti
tutions In the neighborhood, Ket
tering graduated from Ohio State
in 1004, and after a try at school'
teaching, telephones and cash regis
ters, organized the Dayton Engineer
ing Laboratories company in 1911,
which was called Delco.
Self-Starter Sale Hard.
Peddling his self-starter was dif
ficult. He first had to convince stor
age battery manufacturers that a
powerful enough battery could be ;
built to turn the gadget. Selling
the motor manufacturers was even
harder. Finally a friend of Henry
M, Lei and, founder of Cadillac, broke
his wrist while tying to crank his
machine, and Leland gave Ketter
ing his chance. In 1912 the Delco
starter was adopted as standard
equipment on all Cadillac cars. After
merging his company with General
Motors In 1918, this unit was In
corporated aa GMC Research Lab
oratories with Kettering at the head.
In these laboratories were born the
anti-knock fluid for motor fuel,
lacquer finish for automobile bodies
and Innumerable oyier refinements
which the rnotcrlng public accept
without a thought of the months
and years that went Into their per
fection. Blast Goes Wrong
ASTORIA. Ore., Jan. 10.-H7FV-An
explosion of dynamite, set to loosen
rock ledge, destroyed the Clatsop
county rock crusher near Elsie. A
fissure in the ledge was reported to
have resulted in turning the, force
of the blast on the machinery.

FOUR KILLED BY.
BLAST AND FIRE
PENDLETON, Jnd Jan. 10.
The fourth vlcltlm of a terrific gas
explosion was dug from the fire
scorched wreckage of the Pendleton
town hall by salvage worker early
today.
The body was that of Irvln Taylor,
Pendleton tool-maker, who drooped
his glasses In an abandoned cistern
under the building last night and
asked Town Marshal Garland Broojt-
bank to help look for them. When
the marshal lit a match, accumulated
gas let loose with a blast that wreck
ed the two-story brick hall.
The explosion Injured five member
of the newly-elected town board,
holding It first meeting, and burled
the town's fire equipment.
Of the four known dead, the only
other body Identified was that of
Frank Wapienlk, 24, of Eut Chicago,
Ind., trusty at the nearby suite re
formatory. :
