From left to right, the committee comprises: C. F. Orglll, district manager, tires sales, V. S. Tire Dealers Mu tual Corporation; Mr, Carper; Albert E. Horn, Jr., Oregon general manager for General Petroleum; Frank C. Meunler, Oregon division sales manager for this Mobllgas and Mohlloll marketing company. Heat Terrific Enough To Melt Steel Created When You "Step On The Gas" MIRACLE OF LUBRICATION AT HIGH TEMPERATURE IS EXPLAINED Tou are aitting within a tew inchea of enough heat to melt steel, while driving a car. You may be cool aa a cucumber, but you are conveyed through apace by a veritable blast furnace. This la the strange fact cited by H. W. Taylor, lubrication department manager for the western marketers of Moblloil and Mobitgrease. "Steel melta at 3,000 degreea," saya Taylor, "but the combined tempera ture created by an automobile are 1,300 to 1,600 degrees higher than this. "You can't get near a steel biaat furnace, nor can you look into it without colored glasses. But, so help me, it'a true, you can drive a car and keep cool while it is creating the fol lowing temperciturea : Combustion chambers, 3,500 to 3.800 degree; crankcase. 200; main and connecting rod bearings, 250 to 300; rear gear housing, 300; transmission, 150. "The logical question," continued the Moblloil executive, "la: 'Why doesn't the car melt?' The answer Is: The modern miracle of lubrication, plus air and water cooling, plus the fact that the combustion tempera tures are only instantaneous, protects all the vital parts and enables you to drive this veritable furnace in both comfort and safety. "The wonder is that oil and grease can be produced speciflcslly for each part that will continue to lubricate and protect the metal efficiently without breaking down. Such is the achievement of the petroleum indus try, working hand in hand with automobile designers to constantly give the public better performing cars. "However, it's too much to expect that these lubricants will continue their protective factors indefinitely, while constantly subjected to terrific heat and contamination. "That's why the wise, economical motorist has the crankcase drained Miracles are performed every day within automobiles.. Startling information on the re markable achievements of many vital parts of cars has Just been issued b Marc D. Leh, general sales manager for the western marketers of Mobll gas and Moblloil. as reason for Sum marizing Inspection- "If you are statistically minded," he says, "it almost talcs your breath away to contemplate the marvelous goings-on under the hoods and bod lee of the cars now so essential to our daily life." Unbelievable Action It is explained by the Mobllgas executive that while you have driven your car fi.000 miles (average distance and refilled every 1,000 miles, and driven from winter to spring) the all other vital places lubricated and Inspected. It is such inspection ser vice that is featured, free, by Mobil oil dealers, during the Summerlztng period. To use such a service Is true wisdom." IS E AUTOS ENDURE following unbelievable actions have taken place: Twenty-two million, aeven hundred fifty thousand revolutions of the fan belt. Five million revolution of the speedometer cable. Forty-five million fuel charge set off by the spark plugs. Cleaning of 1.666 gallons of lubri cants by the oil filter. fifteen million revolutions of the crankshaft, rear axle pinion and uni versale. Seven and a half million openings and closings of each valve. Three million, seven hundred fifty thousand revolutions of the rear axle, wheels and tires. Temperatures Climb High "Added to all this action." says Leh, "are the facta that during this 5.000 miles, temperatures In the com bustion ehambera have climbed aa high as 3,500 degrees: motors have turned as high aa 4,000 revolutions General Petroleum Stations In The Medford Area W.

Engineers say that every cubic mile of this air contains one ton (3.000 pounds) of dust and grit. "In going 1,000 miles," saya Da Priest, "13,000 cubic feet of grit laden air la drawn through to motor oil. That's why crankcaiM fthould be drained each thousand miles."
