By WALTER LECKRONE Times Special Writer AMERICAN INDUSTRY has produced an engine so mighty that no plane has yet been designed to carry it.- : ; It has not yet had the Army's rigid tryouts, but in private tests

‘it has turned a up 2400 horsepower, hour after hour, day after day, without a: falter. Liquid-cooled, capable of complete streamlining.

-it- may some day push the

speed of U. S..warplanes to a rate far beyond their reach today—to 500 ‘or even 800 miles an hour. It can be in mass production in a matter of weeks, once a fighting plane has been built to use it—a plane designed for its greater size, able to carry the fuel to feed ‘it, strong enough to stand the terrific pull of its propellers. It has nearly twice the power of any liquid-cooled engine being built in America today. Its story begins back at the Indianapolis Speedway, before the ‘First World War, To the Indianapolis races designers. of the world’s. best engines, in those days, brought their power plants to be tried out in competition. They ‘needed service, repairs, even redesigning, after they .got there. So Jim Allison, who loved engines, bu a service station—not a ga rage where motorists could get a spark plug changed—but a thorough ‘engineering service plant, where the skilled men he assembled could rebuild an engine or design a new ‘one.

Make Many Advances

THEY DESIGNED the famous Liberty engine, in its day a sensation, After the war they continued, in a small way, to design and improve engines, to build en‘gines over the design of other dreamers for special purposes. Al lison engines were incredibly costly—every one was built like a fine watch. Allison assembled—and

.produced—some of the world’s

best engineers and mechanics. There was no thought of mass production—everything was cus-tom-built, and volume was small. Eventually the company passed into the hands of General Motors. Now, for the first time, ample funds were available for experiment. G.- M.'s research facilities were at hand. The development of liquid-cooled engines—far behind air-cooled in America—grew faster. . Design improved. There came a day, for instance, when water was abandoned as a cooling liquid. In its place they discovered a compound not unlike the prestone that motorists use to keep engines from freezing up in winter. It ‘was oily and slick” and it

“Bl would flow fastér than water. It

would flow so much faster that only one-sixth as much of it was needed. That reduced the size of the waterjackets five-sixths, with a consequent saving in weight and size 'Its freezing point was so low that it remained a liquid in subzero altitudes where water would freeze instantly: That was only one of many advances. :

Army Makes Tests

BY 1037 there was an Allison erigine good enough to be sent to the Army for testing. Army tests are severe. One requirement is that an engine must run 150 hours without a stop under a full load— a strain no engine will ever face in actual use. The Allison passed 100 ‘hours, 120 hours, 140 hours. Norm Gilman, who had become president but wanted to retire, wrote out his tion that

| night, and got ready to turn it in g. His job, he felt, was done. Others could carry on

next mornin

from there. Thirty minutes past the 140. hour mark—9% hours short of the required 150—the engine's crank case broke, Mr. Gliiman tore up

his resignation and went back td work, It was nearly a year later, well into 1938, before the Allison passed that Army test. In those days the Army used also to have an annual try-out of new plane types and designs. Companies that had the best, or that showed definite promise, got “educational contracts” for a few planes—which might mean the difference, in those lean days, between survival and shutting up shop. By this method the War: Department, although short of funds, managed to keep promising manufacturers at work on new designs. It had been the speed of its own pursuit ships, for example, by ‘around 15 miles a year.

Deliver Bigger Engines

The = CURTISS - WRIGHT CORP., itself a manufacturer of air-cooled engines, was sufficiently impressed by:the new Allison to give it a trial. But the time for the competition was near. There was no time to design a new plane to take advantage of a new engine,’ Curtiss engineers took their P36, a pursuit plane built for one of their own radial Wright motors, and changed it enough: to install an Allison. The biggest: change visible to laymen was a pointed nose instead of the blunt nose an air-cooled engine requires. In the Army competition this plane flew 45 miles an hour faster than any Army pursuit plane had flown before. In one year the Army had made a gain in speed that exceeded the total gains of the three preceding years. Out of that performance came the Curtiss P40—still the standard pursuit plane of the Army Air Corps. Today Allison power is used on all but one of the new model, ultra-fast intercdbtors the Army is buying. It has been a 1090-horsepower engine. But Allison has just begun. to deliver an engine of 1325 horsepower—an engine the same size as the less powerful models, although a little heavier. Eventually engineers hope to get 1500 or maybe even 1600 horsepower. out of an engine that is still that same size and weight. Already the jump to 1325 has lifted the fighting ceiling of pursuit planes, added to their mb: increased - their rate - of clim

Better All the Time

THERE HAS been plenty of criticism of the Allison engine.

Can Carry It Is Ready for Use in War st

Most Britons, and quite a few Americans, preferred British engines. The Allison, they said, was too Jong, too heavy, had too little power, overheated under some conditions. The men who make and sell the Allison are themselves among its severest critics. “Sure, it wasn’t perfect,” they'll tell you. “We scrapped plenty. of

. them at first. We had to learn ‘to build ‘an "engine. It isn’t per-

fect yet, but it's better and better We'll match it with anybody's engine now—and we’ll make it better yet next year. N
