Six-Cylinder Engine
Making Comeback in
Automobiles of 1960
Detroit (OPD - The six-cylin
der engine, once scheduled for
oblivion by 1962, is making a
" comeback.
, Not too many years ago the
auto industry was openly dis
cussing plans to convert all
automobiles to V-8 engines by
1962.
, But the current resurgence
of popularity of the economi
cal workhorse has led Chrys
ler Corp. to invest thousands
of dollars to design a com
pletely new six-cylinder en
gine.
Chryslers new engine is
slanted off to one side at 30
degrees to permit better fuel-
air flow from the carburetor
to the cylinders.
First Major Revision
The -new slanted six is the
first major revision in the de
sign of a six-cylinder engine
since 1952, when Ford
brought out the short stroke
six, and only the fourth major
change since Chevrolet first
pioneered the basic design of
the engine back in ia.
Chrysler's work on the new
six-cylinder engine shows that
company's confidence in the
future of six-cylinder power
plants. In effect, Chrysler is
betting thousands of dollars
that the current trend toward
: sixes will continue for quite
a while in the future.
Although, the new slant six
iwas designed specifically for
! Chrysler's new Valiant, Alan
G. Loofbourrow, director of
i engineering, said it was de
' signed so it could "be used in
' the companrs larger cars too.
Loofbourrow said the slant
; six weighs almost 100 pounds
' more than the engines on the
other economy cars, largely
because it was built with the
future in mind. i
" He said the drive shaft of
v the slant six, for example, is
almost twice as thick as that
: of the Ford Falcon, engine
Because of the added stur-
; dines- built into the slant six,
i it can be bored out to develop
up to 175 horsepower for use
' in the bigger cars.
"No one can predict with
any certainty where the buy-
V ers 'will lead the auto indus
try" in the future," Loofbur-
: row said. But we wouldn t
' be building this engine with
the heft needed for bigger
car engines if we didn't feel
i fairly certain that we will sell
' more six-cylinder engines in
; all kinds of cars for several
; years to come."
'. Gamblo Appears Good Bel
A recent report from Ward's
: automotive reports, statistical
: agency for the industry, made
j the Chrysler gamble appear a
j good bet.
The statistical agency ' re
, ported more than 40 per cent,
; or 1,500,000, of the low-priced
model -car sales were cars
I equipped with six-cylinder en
gines. That's an increase of 5.2
. per cent from 1958.
' The six-cylinder engine be
gan its march back to favor
with the motorist in 1958. In
1957 six-cylinder engine sales
hit an all-time low of only
16.8 per cent of the total in
dustry sales.
In the past two years, six
cylinder engines have re
claimed well over 10 per cent
of their losses and compact
car sales in the year ahead
are expected to give the come
back added impetus.
The compacts alone could
add another 15 per cent of
the market to the six-cylinder
engine's side of the ledger.
'Something' ir -Alfalfa
Sought
Baton Rouge, La. - (DPD -Scientists
at Louisiana State
University's a gri - chemical
and bio-chemical laboratories
are lookins for an elusive
"something" in alfalfa that
ain't exactly hay.
Thev call it a "erowth fac
tor" something they've
known about for years, but
have never isolated. It may
eventually turn out to be a
vitamin since " experiments
with alfalfa extracts have
stimulated growth in live
stock and poultry.'
Drs. Joseph A. Liuzza and
Arthur Novak, biochemists,
began trying to isolate it in
1952, when they discovered
a soecies of mold grew as
much as 200 per cent more
when given vitamins in . ah
alfalfa' base. The vitamins
alone did not affect the mold.
The results interested Dr.
Alva B. Watts, head of Loui-
siana State's poultry depart
ment, who fed a concentrated
alfalfa extra to chicks. Three
tt lots showed these chicks
gained , half a pound more
than those not receiving tne
extract.- -:
Then Dr. Sam L. Hansard
tried the extract on cows and
found it increased cellulose
digestion.
. The researchers are now
trvins to isolate the "some
thing" and define it in cnem-
ical terms. They plan furtner
tests before placing it on tne
market. ;
Guests Evacuated : '?
At Salem Hotel .
Salem -IUPD- Some 30 guests
wore evacuated fromSalem's
Hotel Argo Tuesday night
when heavy black smoke from
a faulty furnace clouaea tne
building. No one was in urea.
LIFE SPAN DOUBLED
Moscow -TOPB- The average
Russian's life expectancy has
more than doubled since the
Communists took over, ac
cording to an article by Min
ister of Health Nikolai Vino
gradov. He also said the Soviet
death rate was the world's
lowest but gave no figures to
support either claim.
