Show WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT MUSES HEROLD BY ir lION DON Somo Sonic of or the tho roost most marvelous things in this w world are very simple For Fr instance fresh air Some Soma of ot tho the most wonderful Inventions look so easy after aCter they arc are In Invented Invented In- In vented that wo we think any mutt could have ha Invented In om em om and you and I wonder wonder vonder won von der why we didn't think of ot them first I have ve mentioned fresh tresh air Automobiles Automobiles Auto Auto- mobiles need it as much as human be beIn beings beings be- be In ings s need It Many ny of ot the ailments of or tho the average average aver aver- age ago aut automobile mo llo arc aro duo due to the fact that the tho automobile is gassed Gassed with its own gas Stuffed up with air ait Impurities of ot Its own creation Suffocated with its own bad breath You know what I am talking about I am om talking about tho the stuff stuer that comes out from und under r tho the back end of ot an and nd that smells like a n from Crom a Bolshevik council Now ow automobile engineers knitted their brows for tor years ears trying to think of some somo way y to got get those gases out faster Nobody y c could ul solve sol tho the I lem lorn 0 m. m But one day a man b by the name of Moore came camo along and said Why not have ha two exhaust pipes Instead of 0 one n C That was the tho answer Mr Moore did not underestimate the value aluc of ot his idea because it I was aim sim plc Ho Tic didn't tell toll everybody e in the tho world orId nb about ut It the tho sa sa ne sanc nc day he ho thought about It Then he applied for a patent Tho The patent office too was surprised It realized cd the tho Importance of tho the Idea So greatly did it realize it that it spent two years In research to research to establish beyond bo- bo bIJ 1 yond question that Mr Ir Moores Moore's system was the first successful effort in the tho field Tho The office established thAt fact to I Its tS' tS own satisfaction Mr Moore foore Is the chief chic cn engineer of or orthe the company compan that makes the Lexington car The Tho Lexington car is his pride his pet and his jO Joy Ho Ho Is Interested In Its present and In Its future Ho decided that the Lexington car c should be the only car ctr In the tho world to have his exhaust system and he mado rondo some ome sort of tit exclusive license arran arrangement ement with tho the Lexington ton Motor company Th The fact tad is Is that the ordinary six six- cylinder er aut automobile mobile with the ordinary single exhaust pipe gives each cylinder cylinder cylinder der just about halt half as much time to clean itself out after aCter explosions a aa as is really needed When one cylinder tries trice to expel Its burned gas into the pipe It finds that an another cylinder has just recently filled the pipe with burnt gases It shoots out aa ns much gas as possible and has to the rest In tho the meantime the world moves on and other explosions take place and things got get worse and worse But with the tho multiple exhaust system things are arc entirely different When th there re are arc three cylinders In Instead Instead Instead In- In stead of ot six things thing's are aro different Each cylinder has moro than enough time to clean up after every sion zion In fact tact there thore Is really an In Interval Interval interval In- In of ot time between explosions when no cylinder Is belch belching Ins burnt gas gasInto gasinto gasinto into one of oC tho the exhaust pipes Vacations as It were between Jobs That is better than trying to do two things at once Is there thero any way wy to measure exactly exactly ex ex- how much the Moore multiple exhaust system Increases es the power of oC I an automobile I one ono of or the assistant engineers o of tho the Lexington I Motor company compan Ho ITo told m me me- that It had halt been meas incas to the tenth of a a. per cent c nt I How I asked Ho lie explained that a Lexington ton en engine engino en- en gine gino Inc taken at random fr from m the tho LexIn Lexington Lex Lox In ington ton stock room had boon placed In Inthe inthe the tho large Jar e Lexington laboratories at Ind md and that scientific test had shown that the engine gained exactly 22 8 per cent of or power by bi the use uso of ot the Moore multiple exhaust 85 tern tem That Is a gain of ot more than one one- nc- nc fifth A gain aln of or one fifth In power means a a. saving saving- of ot one fifth In tho the cost of ga gasoline anyway The Tho Moore multiple exhaust sy gets els them out of the way a It Is all very well welt and very nice to have the explosion in a n m motor tor overlap overlap over over- lap Jap that is what makes a six cylinder motor run more smoothly than a two- two I cylinder clInder But having exhausts overlap overlap overlap over over- I lap Is a rv great disadvantage The Moore m multiple exhaust system takes the overlap out of ot exhausts H is strange o that It takes a genius to think of ot simple things |
