Show AUTOMOBILE ENGIXES TO RE IMPROVED IX THE FUTURE Engineers long ago discovered that the shape of the chamber in which the gasoline is burned in an automobile engine is of the highest importance. This chamber, known as the combustion combust-ion chamber, must be so formed that the burning gasses have a definite and controlled process of combustion. Basing his predictions on recent re-cent improvements in the handling hand-ling of fuel Charles B. Bohn, president of the Bohn Aluminum and Brass Corporation declares that "better automobile engines are coming." "The controlling of the combustion com-bustion in a gasoline engine, dealing as it does with tremendously tremen-dously high temperature and great flame velocity, is by far the most intricate question involved in-volved in internal combustion engine design," says Bohn. Engineers En-gineers have solved the design problem after five years of research re-search and, as recentlyannounc-ed, recentlyannounc-ed, have evolved definite combustion com-bustion chamber forms for every type of automobile engine. As far as the car owner is concerned he will not see any great amount of difference in the exterior of the engine. The benefit he derives de-rives will be in the form of money in his pocket because of less fuel used and a greater satisfaction sat-isfaction with his automobile because be-cause of the higher power, smoothness and consequently better bet-ter performance. According to present plans most of the 19 3 5 car engines will incorporate the Bohn type of combustion chamber. It will be utilized in connection with aluminum cylinder heads which permit higher compressions and thus contribute to better engine power, economy and efficiency. |
