In connection with the growth of the Texas company!

The elgn of the red etar and green T mar be seen today'in the Onent, in far-of- f China, and in the islands of the bouth eea.

MOTOR NOTES Engine DETROIT, March IS. Engine trouble, which have been tb greatest cause of accidents In aviation, are reduced to a negligible factor by the development of an Invention known as the fuellser, ac cording to Colonel J. O Vincent, code signer of the famous Liberty motor. en"This final xtep toward preventing gine failure In the air should do much to popularise commercial aviation, since it reduces the possibility of engine failure to a negligible factor. say Colonel Vincent "Speed with safety and depenkeynote of aviation, dability ts th whether for war or peace. However, with all th precautions taken to make aviation dependable, there remained on cause ef engine failure and accidents that seemed Incurable the failure of a cold engine to respond to the throttle. That type of engine trouble has been responsible for a great many accidents In landing, and at all tlmrs It ha been a menace to even th most skillful pilots. The fuellser does away with th problem of th cold angina Its duty is to supply th exact amount of heat required to vaporise the fuel under all conditions and It accomplishes this automatically without involving th us of moving parts. Th teats have been made on the Packard 1(54 aviation engine, the specifications of which are Identical with the Liberty, end the result were intensely gratifying. The fuellser. according to Colonel Vincent, was developed in th experimental laboratories of the Packard Motor Car company. It Is a small device attached to the rarSureter. and works on th prin. dpi of m miniature gasoline torch for the purpose of heating th charge entering the engine.
