OX LOU' GKADK FUELS
Harnessing lightning to write k
record, twenty-live times a secono,
of the “pick-up” of a motor car en
gine, tile Department of Commerce
announced June 29, is the principle
of an apparatus recently constructed
at the automotive laboratory of the
Bureau of Standards in connection
with a study of the influence of fu d
characteristics on automobile engine
acceleration.
The full text of the statement
follows:
Paper tape, perforated like motion
picture film, is fed to a sprocket
driven by the engine, and passes be
tween electrodes across which a
spark is discharged many times a
second . This results in a series of
holes in the tape; the faster the ea
gine goes, the greater the distant.e
between holes.
From this distance between holes,
the engine speed can be calculated,
in this way, as many as twenty-five
spend records can obtained in a sec
ond. by regulating the tuning fork
which times the sparks.
1'se f this apparatus has disclosed
several interesting facts, one of these
is that heating the intake manifold
improves the acceleration, or “pick
up” in practically the same way as
des nst' of ;i rich mixture. Since us
ing rich mixture wastes gasoline,
mating the manifold is obviously
more encomical.
Another is that while a highly vo
latile gasoline tends to give better
acceleration than a fuel of lower m
latility, the lower grade fuel can be
made to give nearly the same acc
eleration as the higglier grade oim,
by use of a properly designed “acc
elerating-well,” a device which is a
feature of many of the newer car
buretors.
With ordinary gasoline more miles
per gallon can be obtained by intelli
gent use of the carburetor equipped
