I - I I*lHhAr ★ ★ Preparedness and Peace and the Engineer IJ f United States drsirex peace, baaed on justice and maintained 1 j, |l| with honor. But to insure th» kind of peace Americana muat I ! L. I know that nations ate now defended not alone by fighting men. f ! rffi’r-jj but by fightrag industries. “ The Engine r» of this country, trained aa only American En- I ; gineers are trained, hold that truth lobe as fundamental as the law of gravity. [i with the authority of the United States Government more than 30,000 En- Fl gineers and Chemists, members of five eminent American scientihc bodies. -.1 are making for the first time in the history of the Government a minute, ' j sweeping survey of the industrial resources of America. They will go to HI the factories and mines of tile land and with their sole method, efficiency, ' J and their sole motive, patriotism, form a vast, flexible organization, such as ’ the world has never known. ' Then work will be the batis for creating in thia country a true line of jgL defense in time of war—the ability to produce swiftly, abundantly and with sustained power all the thousand and one elements of modem warfare. sg| Without such production there can be no efficient array and navy. Military Preparedness wins the battle. But industrial Prepare!-"! SI wins the WAR I Industrial Preparedness involve! no huge expenses. Only =|l the KNOWLEDGE of what American industry can do. To KNOW Sj the extent of each plant, the equipment of each shop, the capacity of each machine, the ability o* each man. THAT is the essence of industrial Preparedness. That is the task to which thirty thousand Engineers are pledged. The Engineers’ work will lay for all time the ghost of the "munitions gg.ji trust” by making it possible to have munitions made ia thousands of plants. |l|g Thu vital work of the Engineers will supply the military authorities m ga Washington with information never before collected, and it is carried for- ||| ward without a dollar's cost to the Government And this advertisement is not paid for.

i <3-ristier- president- indianapolw motor. -speedvavWHY RACING CARS APPEAR FREAKISH IHAVE often heard people remark about the freakish lines in the body construction of modern cars entered in Speedway races. Some psople seem to think that these designs are solely for the purpose of attracting I attention, that is, to make the car look different. I As a matter of fact, there is a definite scientific reason for their present I prevalent shapes. It is to counteract or to minimize wind resistance. This is sb important that the American Automobile Association, known as the “Three A’s,” which is the governing body for automobile sporting events, has found it necessary to make a ruling. This nsw rule prohibits one driver trailing in the wake of another. For example, the tremendous power which the motor must generate in order to be a factor in modem speed racing is not all necessary merely to turn the wheels and make speed—a large percentage of it is consumed in overcoming wind resistance. If one driver will get his car in line right behind another car, he can stay within striking distance of this front car with less power exertion ana less wear and tear on his car than the man in front of hm, who is acting as a veritable buffer. Obviously this is unfair to the car in front. The illustration at the bottom depicts one of the conditions which bring ' forward the skill of drivers at Indianapolis track. At both ends of this track there is a long curve, a semi-circle which is banked high at the outer edge. r When a car makes this curve, if the driver can, he hugs the inside or the pole position. If he is driving at anything like average speed the very momentum or centrifugal force swerves his car outward or towards the outer and top edge of the track, so by the time he is half way round the “* circle he is mounting the incline automatically, unless through skilled driving he has forced his mount to stay at the pole. Under normal conditions, by the time he has completed the semi-circle and is coming out of the curve into the straightaway, he is practically at the outer rim. k The laymen might think that the car coming out of the circle to the 1 straightaway would be pointed straight (as indicated by the light lines on 1 illustration below), but as a matter of fact, the rear end of the car is higher i I up on the ground than the front end. This illustrates one of the reasons 1 j why the driver element or the human equation is such a vital factor in speed ■ I contests in Indianapolis. J Upon this paved oval, two and one-half miles around; the spectators never see a monotonous procession, because cars change their position eight I times in making the circuit of two and one-half miles, and do not get into a ; saucer where the driver element is reduced to zero.
