CARBON CAN ACTUALLY Vy
INCREASE ENG1E POWER g
i WHbfs-Ovcr land's Exhaustive Test* 3
Prove Sleeve-Valve Design Turns : |
Motor'* Evil Into Factor foe ,1
Good
For the past two years Willys-Ov- g
erland ha* been conducting exhaustive ?
experiment* to show the comparative S
effect of carbon An poppet and sleeve |
valve engines. The result of these |
tests has been summarized in instruc- ?
tion to its dealers service organization
not to recommend the removal of car- ^
bon from the sleeves of Willys-Knight 1
motors, as this sets motors back to 2
the same condition as when new and 2
requires once more than they be 3
"broken in*' as carefully as in the H
beginning of their opersition.
This investigation has been Willys- Hi
Overland'* contribution to the series a
of researches that hove been engag- 3
ing the attention of the automobile S
industry, with the objective of eli- fj
mmating, or at least minimizing, the a
accnmlation of carbon in the easo- S
line internal combustion engine. Spec- 3
ial compounds have been prepared and |
have been marketed for use with fuel |
that will eat away carbon deposits. *
Carbon is no more than ashes from ^
the countless explosions in the cdlin- i
ders, hardened to clinker solidity by s*
the action of heat, and clinging to any |
projection that offers a hold. The g
first indications of this condition arc g
preignition and spitting valves, which &
give notice that the motor's strength ?
is. becoming seriously impaired, re j|
quiring cleaning out of the carbon B
and re-seating and re-grinding q jgi
valves. y
One of the curious exceptions to this g
ravaging is the sleeve-vale motor, g
which because of itsimperviousness ?j
to the action of carbon has been hail- ?
ed as the "motor that4baffles carbon" ^
Because of the spherical construction
of its corftbustion chambers no
opportunity is offered for the acumulation
of such "ashes."
The sleeve-valve design is so con- J
structed that the carbon that is not
blown out through the extra large
, port holes, aids rather than weaken*
a motor's "function. The residue which
, collects around the sleeves, ports, comnwcsion
and head rings, has the ef
jfc t. of thoroughly sealing the motor
by filling in the metal surfaces to
glass-like finish, resulting in full
( compression being retained at all |
times.
Engineer _Finds No Carbon In Test
. (In this connection it is interesting
p to quote Qorge W. Henderson, M.- E.,
of the Industrial Research Corporation
who has within the past two
year3 made many exhaustive tests |
with tfoe Knight and more common
t types of poppet vale engines: 44 I
have .examined Kpight motors that ;
have been driven 25,000 mites and f
there was not sufficient carbon accumulation
inside the combustion
| chamber to affect the power or operation
of the motor in the slightest
degree.
SOIL BUILDING WITH ( ,
LEGUMES INCREASES '>
YIELD OF WHEAT _
(Lenoir N. C., August 4th.?R. T. j I
Lenoir of Yadkin Valley in this county ]
has found that the proper use of
lime and legumes will increase his I
wheat yield from eight bushels to j
eighteen bushels per acre, reports J
County Agent D. F. Roberts of the ]
State College extension division.
"It came about this way." says Mr.
RJoberts: "In 1921 Mr. Lenoir had a
field of 18 acres that he planted in )'
wheat. He secured a yield of eight
bushels per acre the following spring. He
then planted the land to corn and ,f
!??a ..louon Hnahels ner acre :|j
receivcu uiuj
as his average yield for this crop. Ir.
1923, therefore I suggested to Mr.
Lenoir that he lime this field sow it '
to some legume and then plant his
wheat the Tallowing fall. This he did.
After liming_the land he planted soy
beans and made an excellent crop. I
The entire' been crop was turned under
in the fall of last year and the
land then planted to wheat. I
"Mr. Lenoir finished his thrashing , j
this week and found that this field jw,
was returning him an average of 18 ;
bushels per acre. Of couse this is no ,
unusual yield but it is good consider- f
ing the fact that he made only an av-1 I
erage of eight bushels before liming j I'
and plowing under the legumes. Not i j
only this, but the increased produc-!
tion secured has more than paid for j ;
all the-expense and trouble in using
the lime and planting the soybeans.;
Til sdilitinn thn i<| in a mnch
higher state of cultivation for future
crops. Tie is now planning to rnn a
' rotation of corn, wheat And red clover.
on tlrhr same land and can. do it I
without lose since the toil is now in I
' condition to begin such a plan." I
