FASTEST CAMERA REVEALS SECRETS IT 5000 Pictures a Second , Show What Happens In Combustion Chamber Plan New Engine Designs By IIOWAHI) w. m.AKESI,EE Associated I'rcss Science Editor.) KANSAS CITY, April 18. (AP) With a new kind of earner geared to the crankshaft end taking 6000 pictures a second General Motors Is laying the basis for redesign of auto engines. The camera takes pictures of the entire explosion In a cylinder. The explosion lasts a 250th part of one second, and In that flash the cam era takes 30 photographs. Refeals New Facts. It rewals facte never gueased and others guessed but never before vert fled. The new photography and I" results were described to the Ameri can Chomlcal society by Dr. deraid M. Rasswcller and Lloyd Wlthrow of the company's research laborato ries In Detroit. The camera set up looking directly Into a quarta window In the englno's firing chamber, Is rigid, but Its lenses move. They travel past lt "eve" on a wheel, geared to the crankshaft. As each lens passes momentarily focuses on moving film jn the camera an linage or tne ex- nloslon at that Instant. To prevent blurring, the light of the exnloslon passes througn a iia lens before It reaches the traveling lenses. This makes all the rays par allel. Clear photogrsphs result, no mat. ter how fast the film and lenses move. Starts at Spark Plug. The first surprise seen was around the reglcn of the apark plug. That t. whAre the exnloslon sterts. It snrearts In a wave like a grass fire But behind the wave, In the burned ares, the "ashes" or "products of combustion" remain. The forwsrd speed of the spread lng fire wsve sets up back pressure which heat these "ashes" hotter than the flame Itself. The tempera ture of the sparkplug region rises to 9200 fahrenhelt. Some of the "ashes" there, the carbon dioxide, sets so hot It gives momentarily more light than the burning gas The second thing hitherto SUS' pected, but never verified, la back fire set up to meet the "graas lire explosion wave. The forward move ment of .this wave compresses the nan at the opposite end of the chamber to high and hot that it explodes and rushes to meet the msln explosion. This back fire I the fsmlllsr "knock." ROSEBURO. April 18.

(P) A proposal to disincorporate the olty was defeated In a special election, 361 to 205, and eponsora of the move ment today renewed warnings of an Impending flnanolsl crisis. Had electors approved the measure. Del Norte would have become one of the nation's few counties without an Incorporated municipality. Petitions were circulated several months ago, demanding the ipeclal eleotlon. The measure's proponents said evident Inability of property own ers to meet annual payments on street Improvement bonds would plunge the city Into financial chaos. The bonds, authorised In 1028 and 1920, under the Mat toon act, totaled $405,040 last July 1, with 145,703 de linquent. Tax receipts to apply on In terest and principal were only 417.- 649. with $20,384 due aa payments. The delinquency thus was about 60 percent. There alao was a delinquency In the city's general fund of $6,589. The measure's advocates contended that, upon dissolution of the olty government, about $10,000 spent year ly for anlnrles and ex pen we thus would remain In the taxpayers' pock ets and become available for bond a aae semen ta. They argued too, the city's street would become county road district and as such would receive a greater share of state gasoline tax money. The city besra 40 percent of all taxes In the county, yet receives only $2,000 of the county's $36,000 state gas tax funds. With defeat of d lain corporation, re funding plana probably will proceed looking to consolidation of all bond Issues. Join ETHEL WYN B. HOFFMANN'S Hosiery Club. Ever; 13th pair free.
